FAQs
2-bedroom units typically cost 60-80% more than 1-bedroom units, but when shared between two people, can be more economical per person than individual studios. Factor in additional costs like higher utility bills with more space to cool and light. Consider whether the extra space and privacy justify the higher cost for your lifestyle and budget.
At move-in, note any existing damage (take photos) and inform the landlord immediately so you’re not held liable. At move-out, return the home in the same condition: clean thoroughly, fix any minor damage you caused, and ensure all items are returned. This way you should get your deposit back.
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.
Yes. Many landed homes have two or three storeys, so you'll be using stairs daily. If you have young children or elderly family, consider safety (installing baby gates, sturdy handrails). Different floors give privacy with bedrooms separate from living areas, but you'll also be climbing up and down a lot.
Communicate openly about issues before they escalate, respect shared spaces, be considerate with noise and cleanliness, and contribute fairly to household expenses. Participate in house meetings, be flexible with compromises, and remember that small gestures like shared meals can build positive relationships.
Keep drains clear, cover bins, and avoid standing water in trays or pots. Check window screens and door seals. Store food in sealed containers. Trim bushes and grass regularly to reduce hiding spots for pests, and consider periodic pest control if the area is prone to bugs.
Condo living offers natural opportunities to meet neighbors through shared facilities like pools, gyms, and BBQ areas. Be respectful of facility rules and considerate of others' usage. Participate in condo events or activities if available. However, respect privacy - some residents prefer minimal interaction. Building good relationships can lead to helpful neighbors and a more pleasant living experience.
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.
