FAQs
Landed houses may have multiple entry points, ground-level access, and outdoor areas requiring different security considerations. Check all locks, consider motion sensors or security systems, and understand neighborhood security patterns. Establish routines for securing the property and coordinate with neighbors if appropriate.
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.
Yes, a larger space usually means higher utility costs. In a 4-bedroom, you may run four or more aircon units plus more lights and devices, which adds up. More people/rooms also likely means more water usage. So expect to pay higher electricity and water bills than in a smaller unit. To manage costs, use AC and lights only when needed and choose energy-efficient appliances.
Look for stains on ceilings, peeling paint, and musty smells after rain. Outside, inspect gutters, downpipes, and ground drains for blockages. Ask about recent roof repairs and how quickly water pooling or leaks are handled when reported.
Newer HDB estates offer modern fittings, better insulation, and more efficient layouts, but rooms may be smaller and rent higher. Older estates provide more spacious rooms and lower rent, but may have aging infrastructure and require more maintenance. Newer estates often have better accessibility features and integrated amenities, while older ones offer more character and established community networks.
Use thick curtains or blinds, consider a white noise machine for sound privacy, and establish quiet hours with housemates. Create personal space within your room with furniture arrangement, and communicate your need for privacy respectfully. Good locks and personal storage help maintain security.
When relocating from overseas, arrange virtual viewings through video calls, request detailed photos and floor plans, and consider hiring a local representative for in-person viewings. Time viewings carefully around your arrival date, and prepare to make quick decisions in Singapore's fast-moving market. Have all required documents ready digitally, and consider temporary accommodation for your first few weeks to allow for proper in-person viewing before committing long-term.
Verify the main tenant has landlord approval to sublet by asking to see the original lease agreement. For HDB rooms, check that the flat meets minimum occupancy requirements and ethnic quota rules. Ensure the person renting to you is actually authorized - meet them in person and verify their identity. Get everything in writing including house rules, deposit terms, and notice periods. Be wary of cash-only transactions or reluctance to provide documentation.
