Hello, we will arrive on 8th of Oct and looking for an intial apartment to stay for one month. we are planning to stay in Singapore for some years. However after many years of expat experience, we would like to go out for viewings and see the apartment and area first. Will anyone be able to help us with finding our initial home first for one month (need a base for our one year old daughter). Ofcourse when the apartment suits us immediately we will extend our stay. We are under time pressure - we are deperately looking for an apartment to move in to on wed 8th of OCT. In short: fully furnished, modern apartment ( like..VIda or 8@mt Sophia), Month rental around SG2500 (negotiable). Need to be close to MRT. Please help - Urgent.

Morning,

With local ruling on minimum lease period of 6 months, you best possible option now is to get a service apartment. However, with your budget, it might be abit tight to work around.

Dear expatriate,

An advance welcome in relocating to Singapore. As what my fellow professionals have indicated, rental of residential properties should be on a minimum 6 months basis. I do understand that there are some websites out there which offers short term rental basis, however, These are unauthorised and you may face consequences of not having the place to stay at all if found out by the authorities. On top of that, the location which you have shortlisted near Mount Sophia will easily set you back by at least $3000 for a shoebox studio apartment which maybe relatively old as most units in that vicinity is looking at $4000 minimum. I do understand the urgency you have in arriving within a week, but you will probably need to relook into the housing options or rental price before we are able to assist. As much as we do understand that you are seeking a place on a long term but do not want to commit immediately on the long term without first trying out the place, unfortunately local regulations forbids you in doing so. It is also advisable to fly in slightly earlier to confirm the apartment prior to flying your family in. Have you gotten all the relevant visa passes approved in this relocation exercise?

Hi
As mentioned, legitimate leasing of apartment needs to be at least 6 months.

You have no choice but to check into Hotel or service apartment.

A 1 bedroom Serviced apartment will cost you at least $5k SGD and near MRT. They charge per month. if you stay 3 weeks, its still counted as 1 mth.

So plan you stay carefully.

if you need help with service apt booking, I can help.

Once you are settled in on 8th Oct, then we can start the long term accommodation search asap.
