FAQs
Condo management fees (maintenance fees) are typically included in your rent, but some landlords may pass increases to tenants. These fees cover facility maintenance, security, and common area upkeep. Ask if rent includes all management fees or if there are additional charges for facility usage. Higher-end condos with more amenities generally have higher management fees reflected in rental prices.
Landed houses may require more frequent maintenance like roof repairs, plumbing work, or garden care that can disrupt daily routines. Understand notification procedures for maintenance work, temporary access restrictions, and how repairs might affect your room's utilities or accessibility. Plan accordingly for potentially longer disruption periods.
Use room dividers, curtains, or tall furniture to create visual separation between sleeping, working, and living areas. Strategic lighting can create intimate spaces within the open plan. Consider a murphy bed or loft bed to maximize floor space during the day. Establish routines that give you psychological separation between work and rest time.
While landlords pay maintenance fees directly, these costs often influence rental prices. Understand what facilities and services these fees cover, as higher fees might mean better maintenance and amenities. Ask about any special assessments or major repair works that might affect the building during your tenancy.
Check whether it’s in the kitchen or bathroom and listen for spin noise near the bed. Ensure there’s a drying area with airflow. If stacking is possible, measure carefully. Quiet operation matters when your sleeping and laundry zones overlap.
Look for sun exposure, corridor traffic, and window seals. Older blocks may show wear, so check for water stains, spalling, and musty smells. Test airflow with windows open and closed to understand heat buildup and ventilation effectiveness.
Request written consent before drilling or painting. Confirm patching and color reinstatement at move out. Keep invoices for any professional work. Small changes can improve livability, but agreeing responsibilities now prevents friction when returning the unit later.
Choose multi-functional furniture like a loft bed with desk underneath or storage ottomans. Use mirrors to create illusion of space and maximize natural light with light-colored curtains. Vertical storage solutions like wall-mounted shelves save floor space. Keep the room clutter-free and consider a small fan for better air circulation if the room feels stuffy.
