Prepare your basic information
Before viewing, prepare your move-in date, budget, preferred area, pass type, number of occupants and length of stay. This helps agents shortlist suitable rooms faster.
看房前请准备好入住日期、预算、理想区域、准证类型、入住人数及租期。资料越清楚,经纪越容易帮您筛选合适房源。
Understand the common payment terms
Most rentals involve a security deposit, first month rental and sometimes stamp duty. Always confirm what is payable before transferring money.
一般租房会涉及押金、第一个月租金,有时也包括印花税。转账前务必确认款项用途及收款方。
Use virtual viewing if overseas
If you are not yet in Singapore, virtual viewing can help you check the room condition, common areas, facilities, surroundings and distance to MRT before committing.
如果您还未抵达新加坡,可通过视频看房了解房间状况、公共区域、设施、周边环境及到地铁站的距离。
