Private residential rents fall 2.2% in May: Savills
Despite the month-on-month decline, the average median rent for a three-bedroom home has still risen 17.8% year on year

The average median rent for pri­vate non-landed homes in Singa­pore declined 2.2 per cent in May
2023, in contrast to the 2.4 per cent increase in the previous month, the Savills May 2023 Rental Guide indi­cated.Savills said the softening of ren­tals for this one-to-four bedroom category was due to an increase in new housing supply in 2023, as more projects are near completion and construction delay issues have
been resolved. It also noted that the challenging macroeconomic situation has com­pelled companies to tighten their budgets for staff. Cost-cutting has
extended to measures such as a smaller budget for expatriates’ ren­tal use as well as staff layoffs.Savills’ executive director of re­search and consultancy, Alan Cheong, commented that the weaken­ing rental is a relief for people seek­ing to find accommodation, as ren­tal rates “in more districts start to soften”.
In Cheong’s view, the impact to landlords is marginal as their over­all yields remain healthy. Despite weakening in rents, healthy overall yields allow landlords to “effective­ly counterbalance higher interest costs”. For investors, Cheong add­ed that their financial positions are still well protected as the rental de­cine remains moderate. By unit type, the average median rent for a three-bedroom home de­creased 3.2 per cent month on month. Year on year, the average
median rent increased by 17.8 per cent. In terms of the sub-market with the highest median monthly rents, Savills noted that District 4 was
ranked the highest at SS9,300 per month. This includes areas such as Sentosa, Mount Faber, Keppel andTelok Blangah.
This was followed by District 1 (Chinatown, Boat Quay, Havelock Road, Marina Square, Raffles Place, Suntec City) at S$8,500 and District 9 at S$7,500 (Cairnhill, Killiney. Le­onie Hill, Orchard, Oxley). Marcus Loo, chief executive offi­cer of Savills Singapore, said he be­lieves the period of rising private home rents is over as more homes come onto the market with the passing of the pandemic. He added that as economic headwinds strain tenants’ budgets, the rental correction would “allow the
market to reset to a more sustaina­ble foundation for the longer-term good of the economy”. Analysts say that rentals have softened on the increase in new
housing supply, as more projects are near completion and construction delay issues have
been resolved.

As a landlord, it’s important to periodically review the rental rates of your properties in order to ensure that you’re receiving fair compensation for your investment.

However, increase rent can be a delicate balancing act – you don’t want to risk losing your tenants, but you also don’t want to leave money on the table.

In this article, Wing Tai Holdings will give you some tips for raising the rent without alienating your tenants.

1. REVIEW THE RENTAL MARKET 

Before raise the rental, it’s important to do your research and make sure that your proposed rent increase is in line with the market.

Check out rental listings for similar properties in your area to get an idea of what your competition is charging.

You can also have a look at this blog, where we update latest information about rental market in Singapore 2023:

Rental Market in Singapore 2022-2023

2. GIVE AMPLE NOTICE

In Singapore, landlords are required to give tenants at least one month’s notice before raising the rent.

However, it’s a good idea to give tenants even more notice than that – aim for at least two to three months.

This gives your tenants time to prepare for the increase and decide whether they want to renew their lease or seek out a new rental.

3. BE TRANSPARENT (how to raise rent without losing tenants)

When notifying your tenants of the rent increase, be transparent about your reasons for doing so.

Explain any increases in operating costs, property taxes, or other expenses that have led you to raise the rent.

By being upfront about the reasons for the increase, you can help alleviate any resentment or mistrust that your tenants may feel.

4. OFFER INCENTIVES 

One way to soften the blow of a rent increase is to offer your tenants some incentive for renewing their lease.

You can benchmark the current asking prices in the same project and offer a rent out slightly lower. 

By sweetening the deal, you may be able to convince your tenants to stay despite the higher rent. It will still be advisable to work with an active property agent that knows

how the market is moving and to get inside information of the transactions that is not known to the public data yet.

5. CONSIDER A GRADUAL INCREASE (Increase Rent)

If you’re hesitant to raise the rent too much at once, you could consider a gradual increase over time.

For example, you could raise the rent by 5% every year for the next three years.

This allows your tenants to adjust to the higher rent slowly rather than being hit with a large increase all at once.

6. MAINTAIN GOOD COMMUNICATION

Throughout the rent increase process, it’s important to maintain good communication with your tenants.

Encourage them to voice any concerns or questions they may have, and be responsive to their needs.

By fostering a positive and open relationship with your tenants, you may be able to mitigate any negative feelings about the rent increase.

7. CONSIDER OFFERING A PAYMENT PLAN

If your tenants are struggling to pay the higher rent, consider offering them a payment plan.

This could involve splitting the increase into smaller monthly payments, or delaying the increase for a few months to allow your tenants to get their finances in order.

By being flexible and accommodating, you may be able to retain your tenants despite the rent increase.

You may have many questions when persuading renters to accept the new price.

Real Estate Market Outlook for Final Quarter 2023 and 1st Quarter 2024 Not optimistic.

Tell Tale Signs.

Landlords not having enough viewing request after listing the property two months before lease expiry.

Sellers may experience a lot of viewing but still cannot sell due to low supply in the market.

The lowest transaction volume in the last 50-60 months is a warning sign for the Singapore property market.

The property market is in a confusing and contradictory period, causing prices to be balanced, corrected, and stabilized.

Interest rates dropping may not be enough to counter the negative impact of external factors on the property market.

Closer Working Relationship with Your Appointed Salesperson

A property’s marketing strategy and pricing can determine whether it is seen as a serious sale or just an over-priced “show unit”, impacting buyer interest and decisions.

Agents to add value by being a consultant and advisory role to proactively prepare customers and update the market.
