FAQs
HDB's ethnic integration policy may limit rental options based on the current ethnic composition of the block. This affects both tenants and landlords. Be prepared for potential limitations and understand that this is a government policy designed to maintain racial harmony, not discrimination by individual landlords.
Living alone means you bear all utility costs, so efficiency matters. Use programmable thermostats for air-conditioning, switch to LED lighting, and unplug devices when not in use. Consider your usage patterns - cook in batches, do laundry efficiently, and use appliances during off-peak hours if available. Monitor your monthly bills to identify high-consumption periods and adjust habits accordingly. Some units benefit from smart home devices to optimize energy usage.
Condo deliveries usually go through security. If you're not home, couriers often leave parcels at the guardhouse or management office for you to collect later. Some condos will call you or have lockers for packages. Find out your condo's parcel procedure so you don't miss any packages.
Landed properties may require different maintenance approaches for multiple levels, outdoor areas, and potentially more complex systems. Understand your responsibilities versus the landlord's, know how to access different areas safely, and establish procedures for reporting issues. Consider whether you're comfortable with the maintenance demands of a larger property.
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.
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.
Run taps and flush toilets to check water pressure (and watch for leaks). Turn on lights, fans, and air-con to ensure they work. Test any provided appliances as well. Check walls and ceilings for water stains or mold. Note any problems and have the landlord address them before move-in. Photograph any defects and attach them to the inventory to avoid end-lease disputes.
Learn the visitor registration system, understand security procedures for guests, and know the protocols for deliveries and service personnel. Some condos have strict visitor policies, time restrictions, or require advance registration. Ensure your guests understand and follow building security requirements.
