Void decks host community events, celebrations, and sometimes funeral wakes that can create noise and activity. Lower floor rooms may be more affected by these activities. While these are part of HDB community life, understand the typical schedule and duration of events, and plan accordingly for noise-sensitive activities like sleep or work calls.
Check the corridor and lift situation. If it’s a common corridor, people pass right by your door or window, affecting privacy. Corner units are quieter. Also see if the lift stops on your floor (some older blocks don’t), as you might need to take stairs if not.
Look for sun exposure, corridor traffic, and window seals. Older blocks may show wear, so check for water stains, spalling, and musty smells. Test airflow with windows open and closed to understand heat buildup and ventilation effectiveness.
Singapore's vibrant food delivery scene means lots of packages arriving. Establish rules about receiving deliveries for absent housemates, sharing delivery fees for group orders, and storing food in shared fridges. Label your items clearly and respect others' food. Consider setting up group orders for popular restaurants to save on delivery fees.
Short stays exist but many landlords prefer 12‑month leases. If you need flexibility, ask about minimum term, extension options, and early termination fees before you pay a deposit.
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.
Deposits are security against damage and unpaid bills, usually returned after handover if conditions are met. Read the break clause carefully, including notice requirements, potential fees, and whether a replacement tenant is allowed. Keep everything documented and dated.
You need to plan beyond just monthly rent. Budget for your security deposit, utility bills (electricity, water, gas), internet, and any regular maintenance or air-con servicing costs. Also factor in moving expenses and possible agent fees.
Generally, HDB flats are most affordable, condominiums cost 30-50% more than comparable HDB units, and landed houses are the most expensive. However, prices vary significantly by location - a prime location HDB might cost more than a suburban condo. Factor in additional costs like condo maintenance fees, landed house utilities, and transport expenses when comparing total housing costs.
Be wary of listings with prices significantly below market rate, requests for payment before viewing, or landlords who can't meet in person. Verify ownership through property records if possible. Never transfer large sums without seeing the property and meeting the actual landlord or authorized agent. Use secure payment methods and get proper receipts for all transactions.
