Find A Rental Apartment in Singapore Using These Facebook Groups

Singapore Sep 10, 2021

Finding a rental apartment isn't just limited to platforms like 99.co, Property Guru or AirBnb anymore. If you find the right Facebook group, you just might find the right home.

With over 1.8 billion users, which is more than half of Facebook’s massive user base of 2.85 billion, Facebook groups have been the go-to platforms for many to form meaningful communities which would have otherwise been harder to do offline.

For renters in Singapore, you would be thrilled to find out that there are in fact many Facebook groups that can connect you with landlords, companies and people who are subletting directly. Whether you're looking for a fully furnished room or an unfurnished apartment, you'll find options on these groups.

Benefits of joining a Facebook group when renting

If you're flexible on your specifics and wish to cast your net wider when searching for your next apartment, Facebook groups can connect you with independent landlords and rental companies alike.

Facebook groups are also monitored by admins and moderators thus ensuring that the group is active and that the content posted is always relevant.

Rooms For Rent (Singapore)

Rooms For Rent Singapore has amassed 113.5K members since its creation in 2013 and had over 4600 posts last month making them one of the largest Facebook groups for renters.

Targeted at renters and landlords alike, renters can indicate their property preference while landlords are free to list their properties. Landlords will usually indicate the location of the property, public transport available, room amenities, building amenities, and amenities in the surrounding area.

On top of that, some will indicate if you are living with them or with other tenants, making it easy for you to sieve through properties based on your preference.

One of the reasons why we love this group, the moderators of this page have set a no-spam policy across all posts.
