Congratulations to being offered admission into PSB Academy. This may be your first experience livingaway from home and in a foreign country. Choosing a suitable place to stay is a major priority, and youwould want to settle in as soon as possible.

We urge you to start looking for a place to stay well before you arrive and before the term starts.Demand for student Accommodation is strong and available units may be taken up very quickly. Theearlier you begin your search, the greater the chance of finding a place that meets your needs andbudget.

It is not advisable to look for housing by mail or by phone from unfamiliar sources. If possible, youshould meet your prospective landlord and inspect the accommodation. It is also best to negotiaterentals and use of facilities in person and together with any room-mate(s) if you are planning to searchfor accommodation after your arrival in Singapore.

Sign an inventory which list all the items providedby the landlord.

Before you move in inspect for damages, ifany, WITH the landlord or property agent inorder to avoid any misunderstandingsubsequently.

When you leave at the end of the lease period,inspect again WITH the landlord or propertyagent for any damages. With thisdocumentation, you will be assured of claimingyour security deposit fully.

Once the contract is signed, the landlord isunder no obligation to provide anything notspecified in the contract. Make sure yourcontract is complete for your requirementsbefore you sign.

The agreement may be terminated if themonthly rent is overdue for more than 14 daysor if you breach any condition of the tenancyagreement.

Tips to a Longer Relationship with the Landlord

Remember to be polite and co-operate with your landlord. Treat your landlord the way you wish to be treated. Showrespect for him and his property and you should receive the same treatment. Many problems arise when tenantsexpect an immediate response to requests for change. Be reasonable with your expectations. Do not expect thelandlord to act immediately if your request is not an emergency.

Additional Useful Information for Student to know!Legal AidLegal matters below $10,000 can be addressed at the Small Claims Tribunals, which provide a quick and simpleprocedure for solving disputes in legal matters.

The Small Claims Tribunals2 Havelock Road#05-00 Apollo Centre, Singapore 059763Tel: 6435-5937 (tele-response)Fax: 6435-5994 (general) or6536-4478 (lodgement by facsimile)www.smallclaims.gov.sg Do not try and cope with legal matters by yourself.

Common Courtesies When Sharing AccommodationHousehold practices

It is a common custom in Singapore to remove your shoes before you enter a house and leave them at thedoor.

Keep the accommodation clean and tidy.

Keep the kitchen clean and wash up cutlery and crockery daily.

Keep the bathroom clean by washing it regularly. Flush the toilet after use.

Organise a timetable for use of the washing machine.

Take in your laundry when it is dry to allow others in the house to do their washing.

The washing machine is meant for washing your clothes and linen. Do not wash footwear in the washingmachine.

Religious practicesYou may be sharing your accommodation with people of different faiths. It is important to respect their beliefs andnot impose your beliefs on others.

Storing foodThe consumption or handling of certain food is prohibited in some religions. Please respect your housemate’sreligious dietary restrictions. For example, Muslims do not eat pork or cook with alcohol or pork fat(lard). Hindusand Buddhists do not eat beef and some may be vegetarian. Ensure that you store and cook these productsseparately if your housemate observes these religious practices.

Religious ritualsYour housemates will respect y our need to pray, but to show mutual respect, keep your religious practices private.Conduct your prayers in your own room. Do not disturb your housemates in the common room with the burning ofincense and other religious rituals.

Care of petsDepending on your tenancy agreement, you will probably not be allowed to keep a pet. If you are allowed,remember that it is a lifelong commitment. As most animals have a lifespan longer than your stay in Singapore, it isadvisable to postpone owning a pet until you return to your own country. If you do decide to have a pet, keep itsliving area clean and odour free, out of respect for your housemates and for the health and well-being of the animal.Keep in mind that you will not be able to bring a dog within the proximity of a Muslim.

Household etiquetteAlthough you may feel you have gained a degree of freedom by living away from home, you should still observesome basic rules of household etiquette:

Obtain permission from your landlord if you are bringing guests to stay

Observe curfew hours by not returning home too late and be careful not to disturb the household upon yourreturn

Do not smoke/drink alcoholic in your room

For the protection of your possessions and for your personal safety, keep your room locked at all time.
