FAQs
At move-in, note any existing damage (take photos) and inform the landlord immediately so you’re not held liable. At move-out, return the home in the same condition: clean thoroughly, fix any minor damage you caused, and ensure all items are returned. This way you should get your deposit back.
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.
Generally, yes. Landed homes are often in quieter residential areas, so public transport might be a longer walk away. If you don’t drive, check how close the nearest bus stop or MRT is. You’re gaining a quiet environment but giving up some convenience of easy transport access.
Landed houses may require more frequent maintenance like roof repairs, plumbing work, or garden care that can disrupt daily routines. Understand notification procedures for maintenance work, temporary access restrictions, and how repairs might affect your room's utilities or accessibility. Plan accordingly for potentially longer disruption periods.
Ventilation and sunlight can make a small room feel more comfortable and livable. Natural light makes the space feel more open and pleasant, and it can even improve your mood. See if it has a window that opens to outdoors (and not just into a corridor or airwell). Good ventilation and light are key for your daily comfort in that space.
Coordinate with your roommate about quiet hours, morning routines, and shared space usage during different schedules. Consider soundproofing measures like rugs, curtains, or white noise machines. Discuss kitchen and bathroom usage during early morning or late night hours. Establish guidelines for guests and entertainment when one person is sleeping.
Living alone can be isolating, so actively build social connections through neighborhood activities, building events, co-working spaces, or hobby groups. Consider inviting colleagues or friends over regularly, join community centers or sports clubs nearby, and maintain regular contact with family and friends. Balance the privacy benefits of solo living with intentional social engagement.
Renting a whole unit suits those who value privacy and space. It’s ideal for families, couples, or a group of friends who want the whole place to themselves. You can use and arrange the home as you wish, but you also shoulder full responsibility for rent, bills, and maintenance.
