FAQs
HDB flats typically offer more space and functional layouts for the price. You’ll likely appreciate everyday conveniences nearby. Focus on block condition, lift reliability, and airflow. If you value community feel and straightforward living, HDB can be a comfortable fit.
Furnished units have basic furniture and appliances provided, so moving in is easy but inspect condition and note what’s included. Unfurnished units come empty, meaning you must furnish the place yourself. It’s more work upfront, but you get to decorate it your way. Consider delivery logistics, lift bookings, storage needs, and whether you’ll keep or sell items at lease end.
Typically, there's a built-in wardrobe in the bedroom and cabinets in the kitchen. Some 1-bedroom flats include a small storeroom or utility closet. Use vertical space by adding shelves in empty spots. And choose furniture with storage, like a bed with drawers or an ottoman that opens.
Make sure all friends are named on the lease so everyone is equally responsible. Agree clearly on how to split rent and bills, and set basic house rules early on to avoid misunderstandings. Also decide what happens if someone moves out before the lease ends, since you’re all responsible together.
Common deductions include excessive cleaning needs, damaged furniture or fixtures, unpaid utilities, missing keys or access cards, and alterations made without permission. Normal wear and tear should not be deducted. Take detailed photos at move-in and move-out to document the property's condition. Keep all receipts for any repairs or replacements you make.
Landed houses have different safety profiles with multiple entry points, windows at various levels, and potential outdoor access. Ensure proper locks on your room and understand emergency evacuation routes from upper floors. Consider personal security measures and understand neighborhood safety patterns, especially if your room has ground-level access.
Master rooms command premium rent due to size and ensuite access. Research comparable listings to understand market rates. Consider negotiating longer lease terms for rent stability, or ask about inclusive utility caps to manage higher consumption costs. Some landlords offer furnished master rooms - evaluate if the premium is worth the convenience.
Yes. Check that there’s an aircon in each bedroom and the living room. Make sure they all work. Also note the number of power outlets in each room. Some older flats have few sockets, so ensure there’s one where you plan to put your TV or computer. If not, you’ll need extension cords. Knowing this upfront helps you plan.
