FAQs
Research current market rates for similar properties to understand if the increase is reasonable. Highlight your positive tenancy record, prompt payments, and property care. Consider negotiating longer lease terms for rate stability, or propose smaller incremental increases. If the increase is excessive, be prepared to explore alternative housing options while maintaining a professional relationship.
Condo deliveries are usually held by security when you’re out. Couriers drop packages at the guardhouse or concierge instead of outside your door. You’ll be notified when something arrives so you can collect it. This keeps parcels secure, but you will need to pick them up from the guard post.
Check all door and window seals, clear gutters and drains, and ensure proper drainage around the house. Test sump pumps if present and know where water shut-offs are located. Prepare sandbags or flood barriers if the area is prone to flooding. Trim overhanging branches that could fall during storms and secure outdoor furniture.
Agree on clear house rules with your flatmates early. Clarify quiet hours, overnight guests, cooking frequency, kitchen use, fridge space, and laundry timing. Discuss cleaning expectations for kitchen and bathrooms. Check rules about smoking or pets. Setting these expectations from the start helps prevent conflicts and keeps everyone comfortable.
Condos regularly schedule maintenance for elevators, water systems, and facilities that can disrupt daily routines. Stay informed through building notices, plan alternative routes during elevator maintenance, and keep backup water supplies during plumbing work. Communicate with your landlord about any major disruptions that affect your room's habitability or access.
You’ll likely enjoy space, privacy, and potential outdoor areas. You won’t share walls or floors with neighbors, so noise is less of an issue. It suits families, pet owners, or hobbies needing storage. In return, expect more maintenance involvement. Clarify responsibilities for gardens, drains, and exterior checks before signing the agreement.
Many require a booked timeslot for lift padding and may collect a refundable deposit. Confirm required forms, booking windows, and whether your landlord handles them. Plan deliveries to match the approved window so movers aren’t turned away unexpectedly.
Landed homes lack the security of condos, so you need to be mindful. Always lock doors, windows, and the gate. If you’re on the ground floor, ensure your window has a grille or strong lock. Some houses have alarms or cameras, but day-to-day safety relies on you being vigilant.
