How to rent a house in Singapore

Renting in Singapore can be roughly divided into apartments, apartments, townhouses and bungalows. Details are as follows:

1, HDB is a similar residential unit, built by the Government Housing Development Bureau. Only citizens can buy new apartments, permanent residents can buy old apartments, others can't. There are three bedrooms, four bedrooms and five bedrooms, which are equivalent to two bedrooms and one living room, three bedrooms and one living room and three bedrooms and two living rooms in China. They are three (four, five) atria, and they are also divided into different models, but they are similar to each other. The apartment is equivalent to a high-end apartment, with a big house and good facilities such as elevators. Row houses are connected by two or three floors, and each household has a yard. Xiaoyanglou is an independent small building with a yard around it.

2. Rent a house through the Internet

If you rent a house online, you can rent the most apartments. According to the Singapore government, HDB apartments can be partially rented without government approval. All rents must be approved by the government. Government regulations can be found on the website of the Housing Development Bureau. Because the government has strict conditions for all rentals, many people lock up an apartment and rent it, which is called a locked room, to avoid government regulations (telling the outside world that the owner lives in a locked room). The government has no restrictions on serviced apartment, townhouses and foreign small buildings. Generally, it is better to rent a set for one or several people, but most of them have inconvenient transportation or are far from Bazaar (vegetable market) and shops.

3, renting a house can be rented through an intermediary.

There are many intermediary advertisements in the classified advertisements of newspapers. Generally, you have to pay the intermediary a month's rent (half for the owner and half for the tenant). In Singapore, as long as you pay a few hundred dollars to the housing agency, the affiliated company can become an intermediary. Sometimes a small company will claim to have hundreds of intermediaries. Intermediaries basically only do services to get commissions. Generally, the contract is signed when renting a house through an intermediary, but the contract is written by the intermediary. There is no standard contract. Intermediaries are mostly based on company contract samples.

Generally speaking, the worst way to find a house through the introduction of others (word of mouth) is through an intermediary. You should be careful about everything except the agency fee. The purpose of the intermediary is only the intermediary fee, although the attitude is good at first. Try to avoid more disputes with the owners. It's best to look at the regulations of the Housing and Construction Bureau first, so that when there is a dispute with the owner, you can know fairly well. When renting a house, you must sign a contract and read the contract carefully. With the contract, it is much easier to settle disputes with the homeowner, and it is not easy to suffer big losses.
