FAQs
Coordinate with your roommate about quiet hours, morning routines, and shared space usage during different schedules. Consider soundproofing measures like rugs, curtains, or white noise machines. Discuss kitchen and bathroom usage during early morning or late night hours. Establish guidelines for guests and entertainment when one person is sleeping.
Look for sun exposure, corridor traffic, and window seals. Older blocks may show wear, so check for water stains, spalling, and musty smells. Test airflow with windows open and closed to understand heat buildup and ventilation effectiveness.
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.
Landed houses may require more frequent maintenance like roof repairs, plumbing work, or garden care that can disrupt daily routines. Understand notification procedures for maintenance work, temporary access restrictions, and how repairs might affect your room's utilities or accessibility. Plan accordingly for potentially longer disruption periods.
Save the signed agreement, inventory, payment receipts, and all maintenance chats. Store dated photos of existing defects and meter readings. Keeping a single folder prevents disputes and speeds up deposit discussions at the end.
HDB 2-bedroom units offer more space and value but fewer amenities. Condo 2-bedrooms cost more but include facilities like pools and gyms. Landed 2-bedroom units (rare) provide maximum privacy and space but highest costs. Consider your priorities: budget and space (HDB), amenities and lifestyle (condo), or privacy and outdoor space (landed).
HDB has ethnic integration policies that may affect room rentals. Some HDB flat owners can only rent to tenants of certain ethnic groups to maintain racial balance in the block. This is a government policy, not discrimination. Ask landlords upfront about any restrictions and understand it's about maintaining community diversity, not personal preference.
Not all HDB blocks have lifts on every floor. In some older blocks, the lift may stop only on certain levels, meaning you’d need to take the stairs for a floor or two. Check if the flat’s floor has direct lift access for convenience, especially if you have lots to carry or anyone with mobility issues. (Newer blocks usually have lifts on every floor.)
