FAQs
Living alone means being prepared for emergencies like power outages, water leaks, or medical issues. Keep emergency contacts readily available, know your building's security and maintenance procedures, maintain a basic first aid kit, and establish check-in routines with family or friends. Know your neighbors and building management for urgent situations when you can't reach your landlord.
If you rent a common room, you’ll likely share a bathroom with one or more housemates. Agree on morning and evening peak times, cleaning duties, and storage space for toiletries. A shower caddy and labeled shelves reduce friction. Expect to compromise a little on timing and cleanliness habits, but overall, as long as everyone is considerate (cleaning hair from the drain, not hogging the bathroom for an hour), sharing a bathroom is manageable.
Discuss overnight stays, notice needed, and how often guests visit. Align on using shared spaces when visitors are around, noise after hours, and shared bathroom etiquette. Written guidelines avoid misunderstandings and help everyone host without tension.
Yes, tenants can usually use condo facilities like the pool, gym, function rooms, or BBQ pits. Ensure the landlord gives you a resident access card. Some amenities require advance booking or small fees (e.g., BBQ pits or tennis courts), so check the condo’s booking procedures and rules.
HDB flats are government-built public housing with practical layouts and affordable rent, but fewer amenities. Condominiums are private developments with facilities like pools and gyms, but higher rent and management fees. Landed houses offer the most space and privacy with gardens, but are the most expensive and may be further from public transport. Each serves different lifestyle needs and budgets.
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.
Establish clear common area rules and assign personal storage spaces in each bedroom. Use the third bedroom strategically - as a study, guest room, or helper's quarters. Create a household schedule for shared spaces like bathrooms and kitchen. Consider installing additional hooks and organizers in common areas to prevent clutter.
Consider your work-from-home needs versus how often you have guests. A dedicated office provides better work-life separation and productivity, while a guest room offers hosting flexibility. Some people use convertible furniture to serve both purposes, though this requires more setup and organization.
