I intend to rent out my apartment in a
condo for rental about $5K.
Many agents tell me tenants will not like units facing:
1) afternoon sun (west facing);
2) morning sun (east facing);
May I hear this from the tenants/would be tenants mouths?

Hot in the afternoons. Eat up Electricity in Aircon bills.
Bright in the mornings. Not good if you like sleeping late without total blackout curtains.

I like either if it is a high floor and clear view, but I take lots of sunrise and sunset photos so I imagine I'm the exception.

As a tenant, I don't mind my unit facing sun or not. Even better, I prefer a unit with laundry area facing afternoon or morning sun because it means that my laundry dry faster.
I think you should be more concerned if the unit is higher level or lower level. That's what most tenants will pay attention to. And also how furnished the unit is.

If you're concerned about the afternoon sun, only show in the morning. If the unit isn't blazing hot when the tenants view it, a good portion won't even think about it.

When he first posted that, I thought exactly the same thing!

You can search the the URA:
http://www.ura.gov.sg/realEstateIIWeb/r ... rch.action
... and consider how prices compare, depending of where they face, in your own building.

Seems like landlord common sense anywhere. I don't think an agent anywhere would say "Oh btw about this excellent view? It turns into a furnace by 4pm!"

I doubt your LL will be able to find a replacement Tenant after evicting you, perhaps you should highlight to the LL the obvious.

I would just flatly refuse people to take photos when I am residing in it. It invades my privacy and is just not polite.

You should always do a thorough inspection before renting and always ask for some budget for things that will come up like a new washing machine....
