As he is a University Student we need to know how old he is. If the "family" is his parents or his wife and if the family also consists of kids. It's possible he's an adult and coming here to do his Masters or Phd. Not enough info to be making such sweeping statements.
Even so, he's from HK and my guess he's Chinese, he's still going to do it the Chinese way, as he only has 2K. If he's from HK then he should be aware of the difficulties to get an apartment for under 1200, it is possible however. As my family rent out a 2 bedroom HDB apartment in Tampines for 1k.The guy is looking to rent a flat not a room and he's moving here with his family, I think we need more info on the family make up
Now that's the way to do it!ev-disinfection wrote:Having sold my Executive apartment for a good price, i am currently renting a room in Jurong (exec apartment) lucky for me is that there are no landlord or tenant around (They live in Fiji for 9 months in a year), so i have a large apartment all to myself, i pay SGD 500.00 for the room + SGD 150.00 in utility bills. Waiting for the next downturn to buy another apartment again.
You were too? The fact that he's Chinese? Wow, that took a lot of intuition! He did say he was FROM Hong Kong. I think most of the British left in '97.ksl wrote:Guess I was toosundaymorningstaple wrote:Guess I was spot on. Intuition!![]()

Haven't even though about a ciggie since mid Dec 2004. In fact, I really had to think about what year it was that I quit!
No the fact that he would have to share, if only getting 2KThe fact that he's Chinese? Wow
It is possible to even get condos for that much but trust me it will be VERY BAD.hongkong wrote:Am a student and will move in with my family in August. Saw lot of info floating on the site. But am still confused by the most common answer which is ' it depends'!!
I will have 2000 D per month, am willing to stay miles away and swim to Univ if that may be situation, but is it doable? i.e. renting an HDB without sharing with anyone ( any size / make and anywhere ) for around 800 SD ?
