Looking for a home to settle in Singapore is a really tough task. Due to the country’s limited space, you can assume that housing is really limited. Besides the limited availability of properties for rent, the Housing and Development Board in Singapore can also be quite strict with property rules and regulations. Besides the challenge in renting a property in Singapore, another thing you also need to prepare about is your funding for paying the property you are about to rent.

Once you’ve already found your preferred property to rent out, you may contact your landlord through the property listing. Before signing a lease contract you will just have to prepare documents such as a copy of your passport, visa, employment pass, letter of intent to rent, and a security deposit. A tip of advice you may also consider when renting in Singapore is to hire a real estate agent. You can find a local real estate agent from the property listing sites above, like Property Guru. Your agent could help you out in doing the due diligence to check on the property, prepare your documents, and also negotiate on your behalf.
