  • ㋡ If you got plans to move to Singapore and are in the midst of sorting out logistics, here's the video you've been looking for.
    I know that apartment hunting could seem quite scary if you’re moving to a different country and starting a new chapter in your life, so I made this video to cover all you have to know about renting in Singapore.

    Also, remember to quote 'CovexAdrian' to enjoy $200 off your first month's rent.
    T&Cs:
    1. only valid for first time tenants
    2. not valid with any other promotions

    Hi Adrian. I have enjoyed your videos and recently moved here. Your scripts are very good. I have one suggestion that you might speak just a tiny bit slower. I know in Singapore people speak quickly, but the pace makes it a little stressful to follow along.

    Really great information for those who need real daily costs, like me. Could you clarify for me about the costs when you rent for the first time a condo or HDB, I´ll probably moving in a month and need to calculate a budget for the first month, I´ll receive accommodation for the first 10 days but after that, I´ll be by my myself, I see that you need to pay 3 months in advance for moving. What are the alternatives? any info will be appreciated. thanks in advance

      @AdrianWan1  Год назад

      usually it's 1-month security deposit plus first month's rent but you can consider hotel during the transition period which allows for more flexibility!

      co-living is usually managed by an agency who provides timely maintenance support and aims to create a sense of community among the tenants

      lol 90% of this video is based on my own experience searching for and renting an apartment and it took weeks to conceptualize and produce, plus I mentioned Cove as a potential option and it's entirely up to people's own judgement when it comes to living with Cove or not so yeah

    Hello Adrian 😀 how are you? You are born in American your own family. But all Singaporean have rich and spend all the million dollars and private villa and condominium. Some people have afforded quite expensive in HDB. You are working here in permit work for 2years . You are so young boy and not professional experience

    One sad reality for renting in Singapore is that it helps to be White or East Asian. Even for East Asians, they have a negative stereotype on PRC citizens.
