FAQs
In a landed house, residents handle all the cleaning. Large spaces (living rooms, kitchen, stairs) mean more work, so housemates should set a chore routine or hire a cleaner together. Agreeing on who cleans what (and when) keeps the big home comfortable for everyone.
You get an extra room to use flexibly. For example, parents in one room, kids in another, and the third bedroom becomes a study, home office, or helper’s room. Basically, the third room means you don’t have to sacrifice having an office or guest space—you can have both.
Use multi-functional furniture like storage beds, extendable dining tables, and wall-mounted desks. Create defined zones with room dividers or furniture placement. Utilize vertical storage, under-stair spaces, and consider whether the living area can double as a workspace or guest room when needed.
Use the second bedroom as a study (or an office/guest room combo). If both bedrooms are in use, find a nook in the living or dining area for a desk. For instance, a small desk by a window can serve as a cozy work spot. Pick a corner that doesn't disrupt daily living.
Research comparable listings to understand market rates before negotiating. Be prepared to make quick decisions as good properties move fast. Consider offering longer lease terms for rent discounts, or ask for inclusions like utilities or internet. Present yourself as a reliable tenant with references and proof of income. Avoid lowball offers that might offend landlords.
Modern units may include smart locks, video intercoms, app-controlled air-conditioning, or smart lighting. Understand how these systems work and whether you'll have admin access. Check if these features increase your rent or utility costs, and ensure you're comfortable using the technology.
Verify the main tenant has landlord approval to sublet by asking to see the original lease agreement. For HDB rooms, check that the flat meets minimum occupancy requirements and ethnic quota rules. Ensure the person renting to you is actually authorized - meet them in person and verify their identity. Get everything in writing including house rules, deposit terms, and notice periods. Be wary of cash-only transactions or reluctance to provide documentation.
Condos usually have special move-in procedures. Expect lift bookings with protective padding and refundable deposits. Paperwork may include forms and ID copies. Schedule deliveries within approved windows and keep receipts. Planning this early avoids movers waiting downstairs while approvals are sorted last minute.
