Reply: For Singpass registration the easiest way is to head to the CC which handles Singpass password registrations and password reset. It take 10 mins to complete. You will have your singpass activated on the spot. I visited Ang Mo Kio CC behind the AMK MRT. Interesting. I got sent a Singpass lett...

Following granting of PR, does anyone know what documents one's employer actually needs? I'd rather not give my HR more documents than necessary, and the ICA officer indicated the Entry Permit needed to be sent to my employer's HR, whilst my HR colleagues have asked for everything (Entry Permit, Re-...

Thank you all. I have now lived through the hand-over inspection and having replaced the lightbulbs to a matching shade (annoyingly replacing one lead to another one going faulty so it took a while)...we passed this aspect of the unit.

I believe the kitchen is around 10 ye...

Thanks Abbby, I agree about the need for honesty. I do feel it to be an underhand approach - we would have been open to an pre-handover inspection if they asked for one, but they decided to take a covert approach. Underhand is their form - they've been using their air conditioning contractor to repo...

Sorry to bring up another rental property check-out issue, but I am wondering other people's views on whether this is an excessive request or whether it's just me? It's more of an academic question as I will address it prior to check-out - just wondering if it is normal and reasonable - and whether ...

Apologies if this has been answered before (I thought I recalled previously seeing a related post) but I couldn't find it after a bit of searching. As I am approaching the end of my tenancy, the LL's agents have been messaging us to replace a plastic cover on some of the AC units that during routine...
