duun worry too much 各有各的好啦 - and of course, same for bad partif u got an agent, u will 心里有底, everything occurs can jsut call ur agent, but it also depends if ur agent will 真正的 help you or not - but may need to pay agent fee and contract fee etc.
it is the same for JTC house, u still need to spend some money other than rental. u duun pay agent fee, but still got contract fee and u may need to wait in the waiting list and will usually need to buy furnitures cos houses are empty.
if you try your own luck, whether it is leagl or illegal is the first thing,
if it is illegal rental, then when the authority find out, u will be in big trouble, - heard a friend's experience is to be ordered to leave immediatelly (some 8 years agao)and after that, he keeps reminding all people he knows or even unknown about this:)
if the house is 符合出租的条件, but the owner did not infomr iras, it's offendence again. then u might got trouble as well
if it is leagl and the owner treats u badly or lies, ur life i (more...)
Thank you so much!! But how can I ensure that it is legal?
anything I can request the owner to produce? Check whether all rooms have been rent out?
and how can I know whether the owner has informed IRAS? Obviously he or she is not obliged to let us tenants know whether he/she has filed the tax. In other words, it is beyond our control.
