FAQs
Agree on clear house rules with your flatmates early. Clarify quiet hours, overnight guests, cooking frequency, kitchen use, fridge space, and laundry timing. Discuss cleaning expectations for kitchen and bathrooms. Check rules about smoking or pets. Setting these expectations from the start helps prevent conflicts and keeps everyone comfortable.
Older HDB flats have a rubbish chute inside – make sure its lid seals well to keep out odours and pests. Newer flats use a shared chute on each floor. If your flat is near that chute, you might catch an occasional smell, but it’s usually minor if kept clean.
Agree which tasks are tenant responsibilities, like light bulbs and basic filters, versus landlord duties. Report issues early and follow the preferred contact channel. Keep receipts and before-after photos so reimbursements or approvals remain straightforward later.
In a landed house, residents handle all the cleaning. Large spaces (living rooms, kitchen, stairs) mean more work, so housemates should set a chore routine or hire a cleaner together. Agreeing on who cleans what (and when) keeps the big home comfortable for everyone.
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.
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.
You need to plan beyond just monthly rent. Budget for your security deposit, utility bills (electricity, water, gas), internet, and any regular maintenance or air-con servicing costs. Also factor in moving expenses and possible agent fees.
Know your landlord's emergency contact and preferred repair service providers. For urgent issues like water leaks or electrical problems, act quickly to prevent damage and notify your landlord immediately. Keep receipts for emergency repairs - some landlords reimburse reasonable emergency costs. Understand what constitutes an emergency versus routine maintenance that can wait.
