I guess it could depend on a few factors, like how long the owner has owned the property, due to mortgage commitments, although depsoits are quite low for Singaporeans that buy around 5% I believe, I would still think a rental between 1.500 to 2000, would be normal, depending on condition and amenities.Truelight80 wrote:Dear guys,

It will be hard to find an agent who will really work for you because of the relatively low commission that they can make from you.pinayjade wrote:Hi We are also considering to moving from renting a landed house to HDB housing.
My question is, how do I find such housing? Should I look for an agent and let her find them for me or are there places where these ads for HDB flats are placed?
Thanks!
What i have noticed here are a number of landlords, that take the agents advice on rental, which is normally quite high, because they are screwing up the commission.Addadude wrote:It will be hard to find an agent who will really work for you because of the relatively low commission that they can make from you.pinayjade wrote:Hi We are also considering to moving from renting a landed house to HDB housing.

Your best bet would be to check out the Straits Times Classified every Saturday. Unfortunately, they don't list HDB rentals by area, so you have to do some searching to find the flats in the locations that suit you. Then simply call the numbers listed and make an appointment to view.
Chances are, you'll be one of many viewing the place, all at the same time. Bring your cheque book because these places go FAST and the flat is often rented out on the same day it is advertised.
Don't forget to make sure that the flat is APPROVED for rental to foreigners. Theere will be a formal letter from HDB granting such approval to the would be landlord. Don't bother with any ads that state 'lock one room' as this means the landlord DOES NOT have approval to rent his whole unit out and is 'reserving' one room to imply that he is still staying there. This 'lock one room' system is not recognised by HDB.
