4 Tips for Coliving, Expats and Rented Apartments living in Singapore

There has been a rise of expats living in Singapore getting their security deposit forfeited due to loss of access card, malfunctioning access card, insensitive card and even loss of keys.

The security deposit costs from 100 Singapore dollars to 300 Singapore dollars, and on top of that, you have to pay the fee for the replacement of access card or keys which would cost between SGD 30 to over 100 dollars. This is a considerable amount as the cost of living increases and rentals are skyrocketing in Singapore. 

We have reliable sources that the Condo management or also known as MCST will be increasing the cost of access cards by almost double or triple due to the inflation and property market boom. 

Below are some quick tips to help you to have a peace of mind.

Tip #1 – Quickly duplicate access card
