FAQs
Decide what’s communal and what’s personal, then stick to it. If you borrow, return items clean and promptly. Replace consumables you finish. A quick message before taking anything avoids misunderstandings and keeps goodwill in the household.
HDB living means thinner walls, so noise travels easily between units and rooms. Be considerate with music, phone calls, and movement during quiet hours. Cooking smells can also spread quickly - use exhaust fans and keep doors closed when cooking strong-smelling food. The close-knit community feel means neighbors often know each other, which can be comforting but also means less anonymity.
Singapore's diverse rental market means you'll likely live with people from different cultures. Be open-minded about different cooking styles, religious practices, and lifestyle habits. Establish ground rules early about shared spaces, food storage, and cultural celebrations. Respect dietary restrictions and prayer times. This diversity can be enriching if approached with understanding and clear communication.
Use the additional space for a work area, reading nook, or exercise space. Consider whether you need all the space for bedroom functions or can create multiple zones. The extra room allows for larger furniture pieces, more storage, or simply a less cramped living environment.
Landed houses offer more space but lack condo facilities. You’ll likely get a bigger room and maybe a garden or yard to enjoy. However, you won’t have amenities like a pool or gym on-site. It’s a balance: more personal space and privacy in exchange for not having shared facilities.
Landed houses often have higher utility consumption due to larger spaces and multiple floors. Air-conditioning costs can be significant with bigger rooms and common areas. Water usage may be higher with garden watering. Discuss how utilities are split among housemates and whether there are caps or guidelines for usage to avoid bill shock.
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.
Master rooms typically consume more electricity due to larger space and ensuite bathroom usage. You'll likely run air-con longer, use more lighting, and the ensuite adds water heating costs. Discuss with housemates whether utility splitting accounts for room size differences or if everyone pays equally regardless of consumption.
