Case study: Landlord, Partitioning the living and the dining areas.

From: Anne Brocklebank.
To: Landlords with small living/dining areas.

"The Tenant wanted us to take out the partition," said Mr Tan when asked about the drilled holes in the floor tiles. Although the Bukit Tunggal bungalow has 16,000sf of land, the living room is small, being rectangular. He had a "wet bar" at one end of the living room. Probably the "contractor" recommended a partition. The holes were drilled into the tiles many years ago and there are no replacement tiles.

Prospective tenants with the $10,000 - $13,000 rent budget nowadays will go for a perfect marble-floored detached. Most are expats in senior management positions and will need to entertain and of course, impress clients and friends.

This is one reason he had great difficulty renting at $13,000 although the previous tenant paid $13,000. The bungalow's ceramic tiled living/dining room puts it in a "beat-up" league but rental of less than $10,000 could still attract prospective tenants due to its great location. Neighbours are the first lady judge of Singapore, bankers, lawyers, doctors & American expats.

Readers who want to rent this detached house, 5+1, 6,000 sf built-up area, 16,000 sf land, long driveway, big patio, fish pond and big garden, with above ground pool, 8-minute walk to the Novena subway, email drsing@asiahomes.com or call (65) 9668 6468.

For first-time Landlords, try not to put up fanciful partitions or any partitions in your condos' living cum dining room because it invariably involves making holes into the tiles and making the place look smaller. Your taste may deviate from the prospective Tenant's.
