FAQs
Condo living offers natural opportunities to meet neighbors through shared facilities like pools, gyms, and BBQ areas. Be respectful of facility rules and considerate of others' usage. Participate in condo events or activities if available. However, respect privacy - some residents prefer minimal interaction. Building good relationships can lead to helpful neighbors and a more pleasant living experience.
Request written consent before drilling or painting. Confirm patching and color reinstatement at move out. Keep invoices for any professional work. Small changes can improve livability, but agreeing responsibilities now prevents friction when returning the unit later.
Choose multi-functional furniture like a loft bed with desk underneath or storage ottomans. Use mirrors to create illusion of space and maximize natural light with light-colored curtains. Vertical storage solutions like wall-mounted shelves save floor space. Keep the room clutter-free and consider a small fan for better air circulation if the room feels stuffy.
Renting a condo unit gives you on-site amenities and added security. You’ll typically have access to facilities like a swimming pool, gym, and BBQ areas. Condos also provide a gated, secure environment (often with guards or access cards), which means more privacy and peace of mind.
For two roommates, equal-sized bedrooms (and ideally two bathrooms) are preferable. For a small family, a larger master and a smaller second bedroom (for a child or study) works fine. So it depends: roommates usually want a balanced layout, while families can manage with one bigger and one smaller room.
Landed properties typically have higher utility costs due to size, multiple levels, and outdoor areas. Understand how water, electricity, and gas are metered, whether outdoor lighting or water features affect costs, and if there are separate meters for different areas. Budget accordingly for potentially significant utility expenses.
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.
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.
