FAQs
Landed houses may require additional insurance considerations due to ground-level access, gardens, and potential flooding risks. Check if your landlord's insurance covers tenant belongings and liability for accidents on the property. Consider additional coverage for valuable items and personal liability, especially if you have guests using outdoor areas or pools.
Master rooms cost more because they’re typically the largest room and come with an attached bathroom. You’re paying a premium for the extra space, privacy, and convenience. They may also get better wardrobes, windows, and layout. Premiums vary by location, building type, and whether utilities are included.
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.
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.
Usually, but not always. Some ‘master’ rooms share a bathroom. Confirm if it’s attached, exclusive, and ventilated, and check water pressure, heater type, and any morning queue issues.
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.
2-bedrooms can work for families with one or two young children, offering more space than a 1-bedroom while remaining affordable. Consider safety features, proximity to schools and parks, whether the layout allows parents to supervise children, and if there's adequate storage for family belongings and toys.
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.
