In August, 8days.sg carried a story about an international student who was paying S$500 a month for a bed in a Bukit Gombak HDB flat, sharing a room with two others.
He had described his tiny living quarters as the “smallest apartment in Singapore”.
The room costs S$1,500 a month, split among the three students. It is believed that the rent includes utilities.
Now, two months after moving in, the student, who declined to be identified, is speaking out about a different aspect of his living situation: his landlord’s increasingly strict house rules.
“Are all Singapore landlords strict or is it only mine?” he asked in a recent TikTok video.
“I’ve been living in that apartment for two months now and [the] rules are getting crazy,” he said.
Among the restrictions, he claimed they cannot come home late, though he did not specify what time they are expected to return.
They also aren’t allowed to eat in the kitchen and have to take their meals back to their room. They can’t keep their things on the kitchen shelves either.
Still, he said he was willing to put up with the rules — until cooking became an issue.
According to the student, their tenancy agreement states that cooking is allowed.
