FAQs
Studio entertaining requires creativity due to limited space. Use folding furniture and multi-purpose items to accommodate guests. Consider the noise impact on neighbors in compact buildings. Overnight guests will need to sleep in your main living space, which affects your privacy. Plan gatherings during times when space can be reconfigured for socializing.
Factor in daily transport costs to work, not just rent. A cheaper rental far from MRT might cost more overall with daily taxi/grab rides. Consider monthly transport passes, peak hour surcharges, and travel time value. Properties near MRT stations command higher rent but offer convenience and cost savings. Calculate your total monthly housing + transport budget realistically.
You need to plan beyond just monthly rent. Budget for your security deposit, utility bills (electricity, water, gas), internet, and any regular maintenance or air-con servicing costs. Also factor in moving expenses and possible agent fees.
Landed houses may have multiple entry points, ground-level access, and outdoor areas requiring different security considerations. Check all locks, consider motion sensors or security systems, and understand neighborhood security patterns. Establish routines for securing the property and coordinate with neighbors if appropriate.
At move-in, note any existing damage (take photos) and inform the landlord immediately so you’re not held liable. At move-out, return the home in the same condition: clean thoroughly, fix any minor damage you caused, and ensure all items are returned. This way you should get your deposit back.
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.
Research comparable listings to understand market rates before negotiating. Be prepared to make quick decisions as good properties move fast. Consider offering longer lease terms for rent discounts, or ask for inclusions like utilities or internet. Present yourself as a reliable tenant with references and proof of income. Avoid lowball offers that might offend landlords.
Look for units where bedrooms are well-separated, preferably not all clustered together. Check sound insulation between rooms, whether there are multiple bathroom facilities, and if common areas allow for both social interaction and private space. Consider the unit's layout for natural privacy zones.
