FAQs
In a landed house, residents handle all the cleaning. Large spaces (living rooms, kitchen, stairs) mean more work, so housemates should set a chore routine or hire a cleaner together. Agreeing on who cleans what (and when) keeps the big home comfortable for everyone.
Verify the main tenant has landlord approval to sublet by asking to see the original lease agreement. For HDB rooms, check that the flat meets minimum occupancy requirements and ethnic quota rules. Ensure the person renting to you is actually authorized - meet them in person and verify their identity. Get everything in writing including house rules, deposit terms, and notice periods. Be wary of cash-only transactions or reluctance to provide documentation.
Yes. Many landed homes have two or three storeys, so you'll be using stairs daily. If you have young children or elderly family, consider safety (installing baby gates, sturdy handrails). Different floors give privacy with bedrooms separate from living areas, but you'll also be climbing up and down a lot.
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.
Yes, definitely. With four bedrooms, you probably have a spare room that can become an office or hobby space. It’s common to turn the extra room into a study, art studio, home gym, etc. You don’t have to use all bedrooms for sleeping. Furnish that room for its purpose (desk, shelves, workout gear, etc.). If needs change, you can turn it back into a bedroom, but it’s great to have that flexibility.
Condo management fees (maintenance fees) are typically included in your rent, but some landlords may pass increases to tenants. These fees cover facility maintenance, security, and common area upkeep. Ask if rent includes all management fees or if there are additional charges for facility usage. Higher-end condos with more amenities generally have higher management fees reflected in rental prices.
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.
Check names of parties, address, start date, length, payment schedule, inventory, access to facilities, and who handles maintenance. Confirm guest policy, notice periods, and early termination terms in writing before paying any deposit or handing over documents.
