FAQs
A lot of 1-bedroom units have small bedrooms. A queen-size bed usually fits, but a king-size might be a tight squeeze. With a king, you might have little room left for bedside tables or a dresser. Always check the room dimensions beforehand to ensure you can still move around comfortably.
Use thick curtains or blinds, consider a white noise machine for sound privacy, and establish quiet hours with housemates. Create personal space within your room with furniture arrangement, and communicate your need for privacy respectfully. Good locks and personal storage help maintain security.
Common rooms may cost up to 40% less than master rooms in the same property. The savings come from smaller size and shared bathroom access. However, factor in potential inconvenience costs like needing backup toiletries or adjusting your schedule around bathroom availability. For budget-conscious renters, the savings often justify the trade-offs.
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.
Yes, if you coordinate meeting times, choose a call zone, and use headphones. Ask about desk space in communal areas and quiet hours for focus. A shared calendar prevents overlapping calls echoing through thin doors or hallways.
Common arrangements include parents' master bedroom, children's shared room, and a guest/study room. Some families give each child their own room, while others use one as a home office or playroom. Consider your family's current and future needs, including whether children will want separate rooms as they grow.
Air-con significantly impacts electricity bills in Singapore's climate. Discuss usage patterns with housemates - some prefer it only at night, others need it during work-from-home hours. Agree on temperature settings (24-26°C is efficient) and whether common areas should be cooled. Consider individual room usage tracking or splitting bills proportionally based on usage patterns.
Condos often require advance notice for moving, elevator booking, security deposits for potential damages, and specific timing restrictions. You may need to register with management, provide tenant information, and understand building access procedures. Plan ahead and coordinate with your landlord for smooth move-in logistics.
