FAQs
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.
Check all door and window seals, clear gutters and drains, and ensure proper drainage around the house. Test sump pumps if present and know where water shut-offs are located. Prepare sandbags or flood barriers if the area is prone to flooding. Trim overhanging branches that could fall during storms and secure outdoor furniture.
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 – condos strictly limit renovation noise to certain hours. Loud work (like drilling) is only allowed on weekday daytimes (no noisy construction at night or on Sundays). Any repairs or renovation you plan must also be scheduled within the allowed daytime hours.
Air-con significantly impacts electricity bills in Singapore's climate. Discuss usage patterns with housemates - some prefer it only at night, others need it during work-from-home hours. Agree on temperature settings (24-26°C is efficient) and whether common areas should be cooled. Consider individual room usage tracking or splitting bills proportionally based on usage patterns.
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.
Maximize vertical space with over-door organizers, under-bed storage boxes, and wall-mounted shelves that don't require drilling. Use multi-functional furniture like storage ottomans. Check if you can use common area storage like store rooms or if the landlord allows additional furniture.
Ground floor units offer easy access without lift dependency, convenient for moving furniture or groceries, and potential for small gardens or patios. However, they may have less privacy, more noise from foot traffic, and security concerns. High floor units provide better views, more privacy, less noise, and better ventilation, but depend on lift access and may be less convenient for daily errands.
