Choice of Residence
Rental Flat

Tenant and landlord enter into an agreement called ‘Tenancy Agreement’ which contains the obligations and rights of tenant and landlord. Normally, the shortest rental period is one year.

The most common way to enter into the agreement is through the property agent. The property agent would help tenant to find a targeted flat and provide services to tenant and landlord entering the agreement. Both tenant and the landlord are required to pay certain amount of commission to the property agent as services charges.

Besides the rent paying to landlord each month, tenant is required to pay for their own utilities charges.

Services Apartment

Services Apartment provides both short-term and long-term rental services. But rent is higher than rental flat because the apartment is furnished with basic furniture and electrical appliances. Furthermore, cleaning services would be provided and tenant is not required to pay extra utilities charges.
