FAQs
Use room dividers, curtains, or tall furniture to create visual separation between sleeping, working, and living areas. Strategic lighting can create intimate spaces within the open plan. Consider a murphy bed or loft bed to maximize floor space during the day. Establish routines that give you psychological separation between work and rest time.
Sharing with 3+ roommates requires clear agreements about shared spaces, cleaning schedules, utility splits, and house rules. Consider personality compatibility, lifestyle habits, and how to handle conflicts. Establish guidelines for common areas, guest policies, and what happens if someone moves out mid-lease.
Look for persistent damp smells, water stains, mold, warped wood, peeling paint, pest traces, and poor ventilation. Test taps, appliances, windows, and locks. If something seems off or the landlord avoids answering questions, consider it a red flag.
Yes, even a tiny balcony is useful. You can sit outside for fresh air—place a small chair and table to create a cozy outdoor corner. Some tenants use balconies to dry laundry (if allowed) or grow a few potted plants. It's like having a little extra outdoor space for relaxation.
HDB estates often have nearby markets, food courts, clinics, schools, and community centers. Many have playgrounds, fitness corners, and resident committee activities. Check proximity to essential services, public transport, and whether the estate has active community programs that might interest you.
Condos regularly schedule maintenance for elevators, water systems, and facilities that can disrupt daily routines. Stay informed through building notices, plan alternative routes during elevator maintenance, and keep backup water supplies during plumbing work. Communicate with your landlord about any major disruptions that affect your room's habitability or access.
Common rooms near front doors or main corridors may have security considerations. Ensure your room has a good lock and consider a door chain. Keep valuables secured and curtains closed for privacy. Check if the main door has proper security features. Some tenants install small safes or use lockable storage boxes for important documents and valuables.
Rooms beside the living room, corridor, or kitchen feel busier. If the room's window faces a busy street or the corridor where neighbors walk by, you might also get more outside or hallway noise. Check door seals and window frames. Soft furnishings like rugs and thicker curtains can help reduce everyday noise transfer.
