FAQs
Consider your long-term needs and budget carefully. 4-bedroom units cost significantly more in rent and utilities, but offer future flexibility as families grow. The extra space can serve as home offices, guest rooms, or hobby areas. However, if you won't use the space effectively, a 3-bedroom might be more economical. Factor in the cost per square foot and your actual space utilization.
Often 2-bedroom units have two bathrooms: usually one attached to the master bedroom and a second common bathroom. This is great for convenience. However, some 2-bedroom flats only have one shared bathroom. Check the listing. Two bathrooms make life easier, but one is still manageable if you plan your routines.
Yes, if you coordinate meeting times, choose a call zone, and use headphones. Ask about desk space in communal areas and quiet hours for focus. A shared calendar prevents overlapping calls echoing through thin doors or hallways.
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.
Clarify responsibility for mowing, pruning, sweeping, and bin management. Agree on weed control and handling of fallen leaves after storms. If a gardener is included, confirm frequency and scope. Outdoor upkeep keeps pests down and protects your deposit.
Clarify with your housemates or landlord how utilities are divided. Often, all occupants split electricity, water, and internet bills equally. In some cases, if one person uses significantly more (e.g., air-con all day), they might pay a bit more. It’s important to agree on a fair arrangement upfront so everyone knows their share of the monthly bills. Keep bills visible to everyone and record transfers for transparency.
Create a dedicated workspace even if it's just a corner with a desk. Use visual cues like different lighting or a room divider to separate work time from personal time. Establish routines that help you mentally 'leave work' even when you can't physically leave the space.
HDB's ethnic integration policy may limit rental options based on the current ethnic composition of the block. This affects both tenants and landlords. Be prepared for potential limitations and understand that this is a government policy designed to maintain racial harmony, not discrimination by individual landlords.
