FAQs
Check window seals and drainage before rainy season starts. Ensure you have adequate ventilation to prevent mold in humid conditions. Stock up on dehumidifiers or moisture absorbers. Know how to operate all fans and air-con units efficiently. Test that umbrellas and rain gear are accessible, and understand evacuation procedures if your area is flood-prone.
Learn the visitor registration system, understand security procedures for guests, and know the protocols for deliveries and service personnel. Some condos have strict visitor policies, time restrictions, or require advance registration. Ensure your guests understand and follow building security requirements.
Usually, but not always. Some ‘master’ rooms share a bathroom. Confirm if it’s attached, exclusive, and ventilated, and check water pressure, heater type, and any morning queue issues.
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.
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.
Studios are energy-efficient to cool with one air-con unit covering the entire space. However, cooking heat and humidity affect the whole living area immediately. Good ventilation becomes crucial - ensure windows open for cross-ventilation and the kitchen has effective exhaust. Consider the orientation and whether the unit gets direct sunlight, which can make small spaces uncomfortably warm.
3-bedroom units offer excellent flexibility for families. Start with a master bedroom, nursery, and guest room/study. As children grow, convert the study to a second child's room. The extra space allows for toy storage, play areas, and separate study zones. Consider child-proofing requirements and proximity to good schools when choosing location.
Condos regularly conduct fogging for mosquito control, especially during dengue seasons. You'll receive advance notice to close windows and stay indoors during fogging. Remove or cover food, drinks, and personal items that might be affected. Understand the schedule and duration of these activities, and plan your day accordingly. Some buildings also do regular pest control that may require temporary room access.
