FAQs
HDB's ethnic integration policy may limit rental options based on the current ethnic composition of the block. This affects both tenants and landlords. Be prepared for potential limitations and understand that this is a government policy designed to maintain racial harmony, not discrimination by individual landlords.
Address excessive utility usage diplomatically but firmly. Document patterns with photos of meter readings or bills showing spikes. Propose individual monitoring solutions like smart plugs for high-energy appliances or separate air-con timers. Consider splitting bills proportionally based on actual usage rather than equally. If direct conversation fails, involve the landlord to mediate or implement individual metering systems.
1-bedroom units offer better entertaining space than studios with separate living areas. However, overnight guests may need to use a sofa bed in the living room. Consider the bathroom situation - ensure guests don't need to go through your bedroom to access facilities. The kitchen size may limit your ability to cook for larger groups.
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.
Studios are energy-efficient to cool with one air-con unit covering the entire space. However, cooking heat and humidity affect the whole living area immediately. Good ventilation becomes crucial - ensure windows open for cross-ventilation and the kitchen has effective exhaust. Consider the orientation and whether the unit gets direct sunlight, which can make small spaces uncomfortably warm.
Clarify responsibility for mowing, pruning, sweeping, and bin management. Agree on weed control and handling of fallen leaves after storms. If a gardener is included, confirm frequency and scope. Outdoor upkeep keeps pests down and protects your deposit.
Be wary of listings with prices significantly below market rate, requests for payment before viewing, or landlords who can't meet in person. Verify ownership through property records if possible. Never transfer large sums without seeing the property and meeting the actual landlord or authorized agent. Use secure payment methods and get proper receipts for all transactions.
Older HDB flats are usually more spacious but come with age. They might have older fittings and be a bit more worn, and some can get warm if they lack modern ventilation or insulation. Newer flats have updated interiors and designs, but they often trade off some space – rooms and living areas might be smaller. Think about whether you prefer the extra room of an older flat (and don’t mind a bit of old-school charm) or the fresh finish of a newer, albeit cozier, flat.
