Rent a Landed Home in District 15

A landed rental lease usually covers the property, garden, car porch and any approved fixtures. Major repairs and structural maintenance typically remain the landlord's responsibility, while minor upkeep may be negotiated. The tenancy agreement should specify maintenance obligations, permitted use and any restrictions. CEA publishes guidance on tenancy agreements for consumers.

Structural repairs and roof maintenance are generally the landlord's responsibility. Garden upkeep is often shared: landlords may handle tree pruning and major landscaping, while tenants maintain routine gardening. These terms should be written into the tenancy agreement to avoid disputes.

Landed rentals in Singapore commonly require one to two months' rent as a security deposit for a one- or two-year lease. The deposit is held against unpaid rent, damages beyond fair wear and tear, and contractual breaches. Terms vary, so the exact amount and release conditions should be stated in the tenancy agreement.

Tenants generally require the landlord's written consent before making alterations, redecorating or installing fixtures. Structural additions and A&A works usually need landlord approval and may require URA or BCA approvals. Any agreed changes should be documented in the lease or a variation letter.

Tenants typically provide identification (NRIC or passport and employment pass), proof of income, an employment letter, and previous landlord references if applicable. Corporate tenants may submit a company letter and ACRA business profile. Landlords usually provide proof of ownership and identification.

Asking rents are the landlord's advertised rental expectations, while transacted rents are the actual amounts agreed between parties. Transacted rents can be lower or higher than asking rents depending on market conditions, lease term and property condition. URA Realis rental data and verified listing sources are used to benchmark both figures.
