FAQs
With 4 bedrooms, you likely have multiple occupants requiring good communication systems. Consider shared calendars for bathroom schedules, cleaning rotations, and common area usage. Establish house rules early about guests, noise levels, and shared resource usage. Regular house meetings help address issues before they become conflicts. Clear labeling of personal items in shared spaces prevents confusion.
Condos often run entirely on electricity (no city gas), so heavy air-con or hot water use can push up the power bill. Expect to split utilities—electricity, water, internet—with housemates. Clarify your share and which bills are included in your rent to avoid surprises.
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.
Address excessive utility usage diplomatically but firmly. Document patterns with photos of meter readings or bills showing spikes. Propose individual monitoring solutions like smart plugs for high-energy appliances or separate air-con timers. Consider splitting bills proportionally based on actual usage rather than equally. If direct conversation fails, involve the landlord to mediate or implement individual metering systems.
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.
Check all door and window seals, clear gutters and drains, and ensure proper drainage around the house. Test sump pumps if present and know where water shut-offs are located. Prepare sandbags or flood barriers if the area is prone to flooding. Trim overhanging branches that could fall during storms and secure outdoor furniture.
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.
Create a dedicated workspace even if it's just a corner with a desk. Use visual cues like different lighting or a room divider to separate work time from personal time. Establish routines that help you mentally 'leave work' even when you can't physically leave the space.
