FAQs
Short stays exist but many landlords prefer 12‑month leases. If you need flexibility, ask about minimum term, extension options, and early termination fees before you pay a deposit.
Compare price per square foot with similar units, factor in included utilities and amenities, and consider location convenience. A slightly higher rent might be worth it for better layout, natural light, or building facilities. Consider long-term costs like transportation and whether the space meets your actual needs.
Pros include spacious living, private outdoor space, parking, and quiet neighborhoods. Cons include higher costs, longer commutes to city centers, more maintenance responsibilities, and potentially fewer international amenities nearby. Consider proximity to international schools, expat communities, and whether the space justifies the premium over condos with more services.
Calculate total monthly costs including rent, utilities, maintenance fees, and transport costs, then divide by usable square footage. Factor in efficiency of space usage - a well-designed 1-bedroom may offer better value than a poorly laid out larger unit. Consider included amenities, storage space, and whether the layout maximizes livable area versus wasted corridor or awkward spaces.
Decide what’s communal and what’s personal, then stick to it. If you borrow, return items clean and promptly. Replace consumables you finish. A quick message before taking anything avoids misunderstandings and keeps goodwill in the household.
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.
Singapore's vibrant food delivery scene means lots of packages arriving. Establish rules about receiving deliveries for absent housemates, sharing delivery fees for group orders, and storing food in shared fridges. Label your items clearly and respect others' food. Consider setting up group orders for popular restaurants to save on delivery fees.
1-bedroom units often share walls with neighbors, so consider sound insulation when choosing. Units facing busy streets or playgrounds may have more noise. Check if bedrooms share walls with neighbors' living areas or bathrooms. Corner units typically offer better privacy and less noise from neighbors, though they may cost slightly more.
