I understand that booking fee is typically required to be paid for in advance upon agreement and signing of an LOI.

Thereafter, when the TA is provided and signed, is the booking fee paid taken as the security deposit?

The move in date is two months later. Is the first month rental only due in two months time before the lease start? Or immediately upon signing of the TA?

Hi, yes usually the booking fee will end up serving as the deposit for the rental,depending on the TA which will state how much deposit is required. The payment of the first month rental is usually paid upon signing of the TA, however it is up to the discussion and negotiation with the landlord on the arrangements.

In most cases, it is payable upon signing of TA, however, these are all private agreements and as long as both landlord and tenant are agreeable on the payment schedule, it can be arranged in 2 months time too.

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.

Understanding HDB Rental Agreements
In Singapore, renting an HDB flat involves several steps, including the payment of a booking fee, the signing of a Letter of Intent (LOI), and the signing of a Tenancy Agreement (TA). Here’s a detailed explanation to address your questions:

Booking Fee and Security Deposit:

Booking Fee: This is typically paid when both parties agree to the rental terms and sign the LOI. It shows the tenant’s commitment to renting the property.
Conversion to Security Deposit: Yes, the booking fee usually serves as part of the security deposit once the TA is signed. The security deposit is typically equivalent to one or two months’ rent, depending on the length of the lease.
Payment of First Month's Rent:

Timing of Payment: The first month’s rent is usually due upon signing the TA, not at the move-in date. This ensures that the landlord receives a commitment from the tenant.
Move-in Date: Even if the move-in date is two months later, the first month’s rent is generally paid immediately upon signing the TA, BUT YOU MAY ALSO NEGOTIATE WITH LANDLORD'S APPROVAL
TO PAY 2 MONTHS LATER BEFORE MOVING IN ,
