FAQs
Set polite boundaries. Keep your door closed or locked when you need personal space or quiet. Communicate with housemates about quiet hours (for example, agree on lowering noise after a certain time at night). Use headphones if you’re watching movies or listening to music late. Respecting each other’s schedules and discussing noise or privacy concerns openly will help everyone coexist comfortably.
Aside from rent, you cover all ongoing costs. Budget for utilities (electricity, water, gas if any) and internet each month. If the unit has air-con, plan for regular servicing. You’re also responsible for minor maintenance like replacing light bulbs or filters. Basically, all household bills and upkeep fall to you.
Small spaces can impact mental health through feelings of claustrophobia, lack of privacy, and difficulty separating work and personal life. Ensure adequate ventilation to prevent stuffiness and mold. Prioritize natural light and consider full-spectrum lighting for mood regulation. Make time for outdoor activities and social interaction to counteract potential isolation from compact living.
Pros include spacious living, private outdoor space, parking, and quiet neighborhoods. Cons include higher costs, longer commutes to city centers, more maintenance responsibilities, and potentially fewer international amenities nearby. Consider proximity to international schools, expat communities, and whether the space justifies the premium over condos with more services.
Agree which tasks are tenant responsibilities, like light bulbs and basic filters, versus landlord duties. Report issues early and follow the preferred contact channel. Keep receipts and before-after photos so reimbursements or approvals remain straightforward later.
HDB regularly upgrades older estates with new lifts, facades, or facilities. While improvements are beneficial long-term, they can cause temporary noise, dust, and access disruptions. Check if any upgrading is planned during your lease period and how it might affect your daily routine and rent.
2-bedrooms can work for families with one or two young children, offering more space than a 1-bedroom while remaining affordable. Consider safety features, proximity to schools and parks, whether the layout allows parents to supervise children, and if there's adequate storage for family belongings and toys.
Yards need care. Ask if the landlord handles gardening or if tenants must do it. You might be expected to do basics like watering plants or mowing the lawn. If you share the house, agree on a plan so the outdoor space is maintained without overburdening anyone.
