My Answer with regards to your Question:

Considering these factors, the initial upfront payment when renting a condominium may include:

Security Deposit: 1 month for 1 year rental // 2 months' rent for 2 years rental

Advance Rent: 1 month's rent

Agency Fee if engaged tenant agent (if applicable): 1 month's rent for 2 years lease // half month rental for 1 year lease + prevailing 9% GST To the agency like ERA , PROPNET ETC .

So, for a condominium with a monthly rent budget of SGD $1,600, your initial upfront payment could be around SGD $3,200 to SGD $4,800, depending on factors like the security deposit required and whether an agency is involved.

It's important to note that these are general guidelines, and practices can vary. Additionally, it's advisable to carefully review your tenancy agreement to understand all terms and conditions before committing.

When searching for a condominium, you can explore online property platforms, work with real estate agents, or consider direct listings from property management companies. Always communicate with landlords or agents to clarify any questions you may have about the rental terms.

Best of luck with your studies and your stay in Singapore! If you have further questions or need more assistance, feel free to ask.

Hi Romane,

For short term rental, you are likely going to find coliving space as your option thus the payment terms may differ from normal rental.

I have been in the real estate business since 2009, with more than 14 years of experience serving the Singapore real estate market.

I am very active in the residential segment of Singapore real estate market, having transacted hundreds of deals from HDBs to private condominiums and landed properties in Singapore, and have handled many unique cases in sales and purchases as well as rental deals.

Over the years, I have also established a network reaching out to more than 9,400 expatriates, bringing my market presence to both in and outside of Singapore. This has created an additional exposure when I manage my client's portfolios, on top of the conventional on and offline platforms, where other estate agents are relying on. This has allowed me to consistently convert leads into results.

With an evolving market, where change is the only constant, I have also been investing in upgrading of my knowledge and skills sets to improve myself and meet the demands of current and future market.

We are offering our clients a complimentary first consultation without obligations (Absolutely FREE!). Schedule for your FREE session today!
