FAQs
Condos often have specific rules about tenant behavior, pet policies, noise restrictions, and guest limitations. Some prohibit short-term rentals, have strict move-in procedures, or limit the number of occupants. Understand parking allocations, facility usage rights, and any restrictions on modifications. Violating condo rules can affect your tenancy even if your landlord approves certain activities.
Even with more space, it’s wise to plan storage to avoid clutter. Use the built-in wardrobes in the bedrooms. If one bedroom is spare, add extra shelves or cabinets there. Use any storeroom or utility room for bulky items. Assign each type of item a spot so storage is spread out. And declutter regularly even with more room.
Sharing reduces rental costs and can provide companionship, but requires compatibility and clear agreements about shared spaces, expenses, and lifestyle habits. Consider whether both bedrooms are equally desirable, how to split utility costs fairly, and what happens if one person wants to move out early.
Ask about air-con use and costs. Many HDB owners let you run it at night but expect you to share the electricity bill or servicing costs. Check that the air-con unit is working well. If it's older, it might be noisier or less efficient.
1-bedroom units often share walls with neighbors, so consider sound insulation when choosing. Units facing busy streets or playgrounds may have more noise. Check if bedrooms share walls with neighbors' living areas or bathrooms. Corner units typically offer better privacy and less noise from neighbors, though they may cost slightly more.
1-bedroom units offer better work-life separation than studios with a dedicated bedroom for sleep and living area for work. You can have video calls without showing your bed, and maintain professional backgrounds. However, the limited space means you'll need efficient furniture and good organization. Consider noise levels from neighbors and ensure good internet connectivity for reliable remote work.
Use thick curtains or blinds, consider a white noise machine for sound privacy, and establish quiet hours with housemates. Create personal space within your room with furniture arrangement, and communicate your need for privacy respectfully. Good locks and personal storage help maintain security.
Ask about work schedules, sleep schedules, social habits, cleanliness, and how issues are handled. If one of you is very neat and the other more casual, it could cause friction. Observe fridge organization, sink state, and bathroom tidiness during viewing. Look for someone whose daily routine and approach to shared living align well with yours. Trust your instincts – feeling comfortable with their personality is a good sign.
