FAQs
Factor in daily transport costs to work, not just rent. A cheaper rental far from MRT might cost more overall with daily taxi/grab rides. Consider monthly transport passes, peak hour surcharges, and travel time value. Properties near MRT stations command higher rent but offer convenience and cost savings. Calculate your total monthly housing + transport budget realistically.
Singapore's diverse rental market means you'll likely live with people from different cultures. Be open-minded about different cooking styles, religious practices, and lifestyle habits. Establish ground rules early about shared spaces, food storage, and cultural celebrations. Respect dietary restrictions and prayer times. This diversity can be enriching if approached with understanding and clear communication.
Condos regularly schedule maintenance for elevators, water systems, and facilities that can disrupt daily routines. Stay informed through building notices, plan alternative routes during elevator maintenance, and keep backup water supplies during plumbing work. Communicate with your landlord about any major disruptions that affect your room's habitability or access.
Report common area issues like lift problems, lighting, or pest control to the town council. For unit-specific issues, coordinate with your landlord first. Understand which maintenance falls under town council responsibility versus landlord/tenant responsibility. Keep town council contact information handy for emergencies.
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.
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.
Look for units where bedrooms are well-separated, preferably not all clustered together. Check sound insulation between rooms, whether there are multiple bathroom facilities, and if common areas allow for both social interaction and private space. Consider the unit's layout for natural privacy zones.
Furnishing a 4-bedroom requires more furniture (beds, sofas, tables, etc.), so budget and plan accordingly. You can furnish gradually room by room. Cleaning is also a bigger job – more floor space, more bathrooms, more surfaces to wipe. Expect to spend extra time on chores or consider hiring help. It's wise to clean in zones (a room or area each day) so it's manageable.
