Excited to say I'll be joining you all in Singapore next month.
Quick question: I've been figuring out housing in Singapore, and ran into a question.
Agent is requesting first month rent + deposit + fees up front today, one month before arrival in Singapore. I've requested to sign Letter of Intent (LoI) and provide deposit of one month, and pay rent + fees on arrival after inspecting the property. Agent refused LoI.
Should I be concerned or is this business as usual? It's a short stay rental - six months.
Apologies if the question is rather straightforward - but I'm trying to wrap my head around this. Any perspective you have would be highly appreciated

Best,
