Condo for Rent in Singapore

Private residential units may not be rented for less than three consecutive months under URA rules. In practice most condo tenancies run twelve or twenty-four months, and a two-year agreement usually carries a diplomatic clause allowing early termination after twelve months with two months of notice.

Read what the rent actually covers. Facility access, one carpark lot, and sometimes internet or aircon servicing may be bundled, while utilities and a monthly aircon maintenance contract are commonly the tenant’s responsibility. Each listing on SOLO states the arrangement rather than leaving it to the viewing.

Furnishing changes the price materially. Unfurnished, partially furnished, and fully furnished units in the same project can differ by several hundred dollars a month, and a fully furnished unit means an inventory list attached to the tenancy agreement.

Expect one month of rent as a security deposit for a one-year term and two months for a two-year term, plus the first month in advance and stamp duty on the lease. Minor repairs below an agreed amount are usually the tenant’s cost, with the owner covering anything above it.
