Why
Can't I Move My Condo On Weekends?
If you are living in Singapore, chances are you may have
experienced this same situation when you have to move in and
out of your condominium units to a much bigger place or
space to accommodate your changing lifestyle and growing
need for more space for you and your family. In Singapore,
there are so called moving black out days (Saturday
and
Sunday). This means a tenant
is not allowed to move their things in and out during
weekends. Singapore rules have strictly imposed a no moving
on Weekend for condo even if you pay a high fee. Here are
some of the condo moving rules imposed by the building
owners that everyone must be made aware of when moving in
and out of condo units in Singapore.
Condo Moving In And Out Rules in Singapore
-Condominium removal may be done on weekdays from
9 am to 5pm only. Weekend
removal is not allowed.
- The resident or tenant must submit a fully accomplished
form supplied by the condominium management along with the
imposed security fee. This form must be fully accomplished
with complete details three days before the actual date of
moving. The required deposit will eventually be refunded
after the completion of the moving process and in the event
that no damage to property occurs during the moving in and
out process. This fee is shouldered solely by the tenant and
is not included in the charges billed by the movers.
- All the removal contractors are required to secure a
pass for purposes of security and proper identification. The
movers are required to report to the guardhouse of every
activity and must wear their I.D. Passes while inside the
building and its premises. The security personnel of the
condo have the right to question moving contractors that
does not wear their I.D. Pass while the removal process is
going on.
- Delivery vans and other forms of vehicle intended for
moving out things of the tenant are required to follow a
specified route while driving inside the premises, heavy
duty elevator areas, and basement of the condominium.
- 40 footer vans or any vehicle higher than the allowed
level height of 2.8 meters are not allowed to enter the
basement area.
- 20 footer vans are allowed but the driver must park
their vehicle in a designated area within the basement.
- Movers and their workers are allowed to use only the
service elevators and designated staircases upon advance
arrangement regarding the time of transfer and moving out to
avoid any inconvenience and disturbance to the other regular
users of the lift in the condo.
- Packing crates must be properly disposed of and not
thrown elsewhere inside the condo’s property at the mover’s
cost. No trash, packing materials, crates, boxes, debris,
must be left lying around the basement, service elevator
area, parking lot, fire escape staircases or any other
specific areas in and around the building. Failure to comply
will mean suspension from operating their moving services
with the condominium management and the cost for cleaning up
and fixing their mess will be passed on to the concerned
tenant facilitating the request for removal.
- The tenant will be held responsible in the event that
condo property got damaged during the course of removal. All
costs incurred to rectify the damage will be shouldered by
the tenant upon arrangement with the condominium management
regarding damage to property.
- The tenant is solely responsible for the behavior of
the mover contractors and workers while they are inside the
building premises and common areas.
Singapore is an ideal place to work, live, and have a
good life. It is estimated that more than 95 % of the
population live in this crowded city filled with tall
apartment buildings, gleaming high rise offices, and
towering condominiums. It will work for your advantage if
you are aware of the condo moving rules and charges so you
can plan ahead if the situation or need arises in the
future. And don’t forget, no moving on condos on weekends!
