FAQs
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.
Families need significant storage for clothing, toys, school supplies, and household items. Look for built-in wardrobes in each bedroom, linen closets, kitchen storage, and utility areas. Check if there's a storeroom, under-stair storage, or if you can add storage furniture without overcrowding the space.
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.
While you're renting, understanding condo market trends can help predict rent stability and landlord behavior. Properties in high-demand areas with good resale prospects typically have more stable rents and better maintenance. However, rapidly appreciating properties may face higher rent increases at renewal. Consider the development's age, location, and market reputation when evaluating long-term rental viability.
For two roommates, equal-sized bedrooms (and ideally two bathrooms) are preferable. For a small family, a larger master and a smaller second bedroom (for a child or study) works fine. So it depends: roommates usually want a balanced layout, while families can manage with one bigger and one smaller room.
Ask about air-con use and costs. Many HDB owners let you run it at night but expect you to share the electricity bill or servicing costs. Check that the air-con unit is working well. If it's older, it might be noisier or less efficient.
Equal split is common, but consider room size differences and individual usage patterns. Master bedroom tenants might pay slightly more due to ensuite usage and larger space. Track air-con usage if one person uses it significantly more. Some roommates prefer separate electricity meters or smart plugs to monitor individual consumption for fairer billing.
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.
