Short stays exist but many landlords prefer 12‑month leases. If you need flexibility, ask about minimum term, extension options, and early termination fees before you pay a deposit.
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.
Clarify with your housemates or landlord how utilities are divided. Often, all occupants split electricity, water, and internet bills equally. In some cases, if one person uses significantly more (e.g., air-con all day), they might pay a bit more. It’s important to agree on a fair arrangement upfront so everyone knows their share of the monthly bills. Keep bills visible to everyone and record transfers for transparency.
Check names of parties, address, start date, length, payment schedule, inventory, access to facilities, and who handles maintenance. Confirm guest policy, notice periods, and early termination terms in writing before paying any deposit or handing over documents.
Go furnished for convenience and lower upfront setup, but inspect furniture condition and note wear expectations. Choose unfurnished for flexibility and hygiene control, factoring in delivery time, storage needs, and the effort to move items at lease end. It really depends on whether you have furniture and want to customize the space or prefer a move-in-ready setup.
Look for persistent damp smells, water stains, mold, warped wood, peeling paint, pest traces, and poor ventilation. Test taps, appliances, windows, and locks. If something seems off or the landlord avoids answering questions, consider it a red flag.
