Singapore's diverse rental market means you'll likely live with people from different cultures. Be open-minded about different cooking styles, religious practices, and lifestyle habits. Establish ground rules early about shared spaces, food storage, and cultural celebrations. Respect dietary restrictions and prayer times. This diversity can be enriching if approached with understanding and clear communication.
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.
Singapore's vibrant food delivery scene means lots of packages arriving. Establish rules about receiving deliveries for absent housemates, sharing delivery fees for group orders, and storing food in shared fridges. Label your items clearly and respect others' food. Consider setting up group orders for popular restaurants to save on delivery fees.
Prepare a list of questions about utilities, maintenance, lease terms, and neighborhood amenities. Bring a measuring tape for furniture planning and take photos/videos for later comparison. Check water pressure, electrical outlets, mobile reception, and natural light. View properties at different times if possible to assess noise levels and traffic patterns.
Common deductions include excessive cleaning needs, damaged furniture or fixtures, unpaid utilities, missing keys or access cards, and alterations made without permission. Normal wear and tear should not be deducted. Take detailed photos at move-in and move-out to document the property's condition. Keep all receipts for any repairs or replacements you make.
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.
HDB flats are government-built public housing with practical layouts and affordable rent, but fewer amenities. Condominiums are private developments with facilities like pools and gyms, but higher rent and management fees. Landed houses offer the most space and privacy with gardens, but are the most expensive and may be further from public transport. Each serves different lifestyle needs and budgets.
When relocating from overseas, arrange virtual viewings through video calls, request detailed photos and floor plans, and consider hiring a local representative for in-person viewings. Time viewings carefully around your arrival date, and prepare to make quick decisions in Singapore's fast-moving market. Have all required documents ready digitally, and consider temporary accommodation for your first few weeks to allow for proper in-person viewing before committing long-term.
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.
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.
