FAQs
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.
Landed houses may have multiple entry points, ground-level access, and outdoor areas requiring different security considerations. Check all locks, consider motion sensors or security systems, and understand neighborhood security patterns. Establish routines for securing the property and coordinate with neighbors if appropriate.
Landlords typically have property insurance, but this doesn't cover your personal belongings. Consider renter's insurance for your possessions and personal liability. Some policies cover temporary accommodation if the unit becomes uninhabitable. Check if your landlord requires you to have insurance and understand what's covered under their policy versus what you need to protect yourself.
While you're renting, understanding condo market trends can help predict rent stability and landlord behavior. Properties in high-demand areas with good resale prospects typically have more stable rents and better maintenance. However, rapidly appreciating properties may face higher rent increases at renewal. Consider the development's age, location, and market reputation when evaluating long-term rental viability.
Use multi-functional furniture and vertical space. For example, a bed with drawers underneath or shelves up high on the walls adds storage without taking floor space. Declutter regularly and use hidden storage (like ottomans or coffee tables with compartments) to keep your studio organized.
Often 2-bedroom units have two bathrooms: usually one attached to the master bedroom and a second common bathroom. This is great for convenience. However, some 2-bedroom flats only have one shared bathroom. Check the listing. Two bathrooms make life easier, but one is still manageable if you plan your routines.
HDB rooms often have simpler finishes and fewer shared facilities but practical layouts and solid walls. You’ll trade pools or gyms for straightforward convenience. Prioritize block condition, elevator access, and nearby amenities over lifestyle facilities you won’t use.
Measure wardrobe depth, check for full-length hanging, and look for shelves that suit daily items. Visualize bed placement, door swing, and airflow. Make sure a desk or cot fits without blocking pathways or covering sockets and switches.
