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.
Yes. It should clearly state the monthly rent, the security deposit amount and conditions for return, what’s included in the rent (for example, are utilities or Wi-Fi covered?), the length of stay/notice period, and any specific house rules or restrictions. This protects both you and the landlord (or main tenant) by ensuring everyone knows the terms. Also, confirm that the landlord has approval to rent out the room (especially important in HDB flats, where there are rules on room rentals).
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.
Yes, many couples rent master rooms. If you’re a couple, confirm with the landlord that two people are allowed in that room (most masters are fine for couples, but some landlords set limits). Consider that as a couple, you’ll likely use more utilities – discuss with your housemates or landlord how the utility split is handled for two people. Also, ensure the master room has enough space and storage for both of your belongings. Privacy-wise, a master is great since you have your own bathroom and more space, which suits a couple’s needs. Just be open about being a pair so everyone in the household is aware and okay with it.
Go furnished for convenience and lower upfront setup, but inspect furniture condition and note wear expectations. Choose unfurnished for flexibility and hygiene control, factoring in delivery time, storage needs, and the effort to move items at lease end. It really depends on whether you have furniture and want to customize the space or prefer a move-in-ready setup.
Look for persistent damp smells, water stains, mold, warped wood, peeling paint, pest traces, and poor ventilation. Test taps, appliances, windows, and locks. If something seems off or the landlord avoids answering questions, consider it a red flag.
