FAQs
Aside from rent, you cover all ongoing costs. Budget for utilities (electricity, water, gas if any) and internet each month. If the unit has air-con, plan for regular servicing. You’re also responsible for minor maintenance like replacing light bulbs or filters. Basically, all household bills and upkeep fall to you.
Air-con significantly impacts electricity bills in Singapore's climate. Discuss usage patterns with housemates - some prefer it only at night, others need it during work-from-home hours. Agree on temperature settings (24-26°C is efficient) and whether common areas should be cooled. Consider individual room usage tracking or splitting bills proportionally based on usage patterns.
Condo living often attracts young professionals and expatriates, creating diverse, international housemate communities. Expect higher living standards and potentially more transient housemates who may move frequently for work. The facilities create natural social opportunities - you might meet neighbors at the pool or gym. However, this can also mean more temporary relationships compared to HDB community living.
Research current market rates for similar properties to understand if the increase is reasonable. Highlight your positive tenancy record, prompt payments, and property care. Consider negotiating longer lease terms for rate stability, or propose smaller incremental increases. If the increase is excessive, be prepared to explore alternative housing options while maintaining a professional relationship.
Yes, usually the dining area in a 4-bedroom flat is sized for a big family. You can typically fit a 6- or 8-seater table comfortably. Some layouts have a separate dining room, others a large combined living/dining area. Either way, you should have space for everyone to eat together. It’s wise to measure if you own a huge dining set, but generally these units accommodate family dining well.
HDB flats typically offer more space and functional layouts for the price. You’ll likely appreciate everyday conveniences nearby. Focus on block condition, lift reliability, and airflow. If you value community feel and straightforward living, HDB can be a comfortable fit.
Take advantage of amenities to justify higher rent costs. Use the gym instead of paying for external memberships, utilize the pool for exercise and relaxation, and book function rooms for gatherings. Many condos offer additional services like concierge, dry cleaning pickup, or maintenance services. Factor these conveniences into your rental value assessment.
Short-term rentals (6 months or less) offer flexibility for uncertain situations but typically cost 10-20% more per month and provide less stability. Long-term leases (1-2 years) usually offer better rates, priority during renewals, and stable housing, but limit your ability to relocate quickly. Consider your career stability, relationship status, and life plans. Many landlords prefer long-term tenants and may offer incentives like rent freezes or minor upgrades.
