Yes. It should clearly state the monthly rent, the security deposit amount and conditions for return, what’s included in the rent (for example, are utilities or Wi-Fi covered?), the length of stay/notice period, and any specific house rules or restrictions. This protects both you and the landlord (or main tenant) by ensuring everyone knows the terms. Also, confirm that the landlord has approval to rent out the room (especially important in HDB flats, where there are rules on room rentals).

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.

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.

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.

You need to plan beyond just monthly rent. Budget for your security deposit, utility bills (electricity, water, gas), internet, and any regular maintenance or air-con servicing costs. Also factor in moving expenses and possible agent fees.

Save the signed agreement, inventory, payment receipts, and all maintenance chats. Store dated photos of existing defects and meter readings. Keeping a single folder prevents disputes and speeds up deposit discussions at the end.
