FAQs
Ground floor units offer easy access without lift dependency, convenient for moving furniture or groceries, and potential for small gardens or patios. However, they may have less privacy, more noise from foot traffic, and security concerns. High floor units provide better views, more privacy, less noise, and better ventilation, but depend on lift access and may be less convenient for daily errands.
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.
A master bedroom (with an attached bathroom) is ideal if you value extra space and privacy. It’s great for couples or individuals who want more room and their own bathroom. You get a larger area to yourself, which is nice if you work from your room or just like having a private bathroom and more storage. If your budget allows and you prefer not to share a bathroom, a master bedroom is a good choice.
Clarify responsibility for mowing, pruning, sweeping, and bin management. Agree on weed control and handling of fallen leaves after storms. If a gardener is included, confirm frequency and scope. Outdoor upkeep keeps pests down and protects your deposit.
Typically, there's a built-in wardrobe in the bedroom and cabinets in the kitchen. Some 1-bedroom flats include a small storeroom or utility closet. Use vertical space by adding shelves in empty spots. And choose furniture with storage, like a bed with drawers or an ottoman that opens.
Condos often have specific rules about tenant behavior, pet policies, noise restrictions, and guest limitations. Some prohibit short-term rentals, have strict move-in procedures, or limit the number of occupants. Understand parking allocations, facility usage rights, and any restrictions on modifications. Violating condo rules can affect your tenancy even if your landlord approves certain activities.
Check whether it’s in the kitchen or bathroom and listen for spin noise near the bed. Ensure there’s a drying area with airflow. If stacking is possible, measure carefully. Quiet operation matters when your sleeping and laundry zones overlap.
Condo management committees can make decisions about facility usage, renovation rules, and additional charges that affect tenants. While you can't vote, stay informed about upcoming decisions through your landlord. Major changes like facility closures or new rules may impact your rental experience. Good landlords will communicate these changes and their implications.
