FAQs
Landed homes lack the security of condos, so you need to be mindful. Always lock doors, windows, and the gate. If you’re on the ground floor, ensure your window has a grille or strong lock. Some houses have alarms or cameras, but day-to-day safety relies on you being vigilant.
Landed houses can attract more pests (like mosquitoes, ants) since they’re at ground level and have gardens. Check for window screens and ask if regular pest control is done. Also look for water stains or damp spots that could signal roof or drainage leaks.
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.
With more people and activities, noise management becomes important for family harmony and neighbor relations. Check sound insulation between rooms, whether bedrooms are clustered together, and if living areas are separated from sleeping areas. Consider carpet or rugs for sound dampening.
Communicate openly about issues before they escalate, respect shared spaces, be considerate with noise and cleanliness, and contribute fairly to household expenses. Participate in house meetings, be flexible with compromises, and remember that small gestures like shared meals can build positive relationships.
Landed houses have different safety profiles with multiple entry points, windows at various levels, and potential outdoor access. Ensure proper locks on your room and understand emergency evacuation routes from upper floors. Consider personal security measures and understand neighborhood safety patterns, especially if your room has ground-level access.
Use the second bedroom as a study (or an office/guest room combo). If both bedrooms are in use, find a nook in the living or dining area for a desk. For instance, a small desk by a window can serve as a cozy work spot. Pick a corner that doesn't disrupt daily living.
HDB has ethnic integration policies that may affect room rentals. Some HDB flat owners can only rent to tenants of certain ethnic groups to maintain racial balance in the block. This is a government policy, not discrimination. Ask landlords upfront about any restrictions and understand it's about maintaining community diversity, not personal preference.
