FAQs
Condos have by-laws residents must follow. Common rules cover noise (quiet hours), visitor sign-ins, proper garbage disposal, and use of shared facilities. Ask your landlord about any specific condo rules. Abiding by them will keep you out of trouble with management and neighbors.
Yes, many couples rent master rooms. If you’re a couple, confirm with the landlord that two people are allowed in that room (most masters are fine for couples, but some landlords set limits). Consider that as a couple, you’ll likely use more utilities – discuss with your housemates or landlord how the utility split is handled for two people. Also, ensure the master room has enough space and storage for both of your belongings. Privacy-wise, a master is great since you have your own bathroom and more space, which suits a couple’s needs. Just be open about being a pair so everyone in the household is aware and okay with it.
Master rooms command premium rent due to size and ensuite access. Research comparable listings to understand market rates. Consider negotiating longer lease terms for rent stability, or ask about inclusive utility caps to manage higher consumption costs. Some landlords offer furnished master rooms - evaluate if the premium is worth the convenience.
Landed homes lack the security of condos, so you need to be mindful. Always lock doors, windows, and the gate. If you’re on the ground floor, ensure your window has a grille or strong lock. Some houses have alarms or cameras, but day-to-day safety relies on you being vigilant.
HDB estates often have nearby markets, food courts, clinics, schools, and community centers. Many have playgrounds, fitness corners, and resident committee activities. Check proximity to essential services, public transport, and whether the estate has active community programs that might interest you.
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.
Check the agreement for notice and replacement terms. Align on advertising, viewings, and how utilities are split during the gap. Keep shared costs transparent so no one subsidizes unfairly. Get approvals in writing before a new person joins.
Condos regularly conduct fogging for mosquito control, especially during dengue seasons. You'll receive advance notice to close windows and stay indoors during fogging. Remove or cover food, drinks, and personal items that might be affected. Understand the schedule and duration of these activities, and plan your day accordingly. Some buildings also do regular pest control that may require temporary room access.
