Condo & MCST guides
How things work in a Singapore strata building, checked against BCA, the Strata Titles Boards and LTA. For a question about your own building, its management office is on its Estate.sg page.
Moving in
- Moving in and renovating in a condo: approvals, deposits and hours
Renovating or moving into a condo in Singapore means working within national rules and your own MCST's by-laws. This guide sets out what official sources say, and what only your management office can tell you.
Living there
- Season parking, visitor parking and EV charging in a condo
How cars, visitors, motorcycles and bicycles are handled in a Singapore condo car park, and what has to happen before an EV charger can go in. Much of it is set by your estate's own by-laws, so the management office is the place to confirm the details.
- Booking condo facilities: deposits, fees, guests and damage
Each estate sets its own rules for booking BBQ pits, function rooms and courts. This guide explains where those rules come from, what BCA says an MCST can and cannot do, and what to ask before you book.
- Ceiling leaks between units: who is responsible
A damp patch or drip on your ceiling usually means water is coming from the unit above or from common property. Here is how responsibility is decided in a Singapore strata development, and what to do about it.
Owners' rights
- Condo AGMs and your rights as an owner
Every condo owner in Singapore is a member of the building's management corporation, and the annual general meeting is where you get your say. This guide explains your rights at an AGM, from notice and proxies to records and disputes.
- Managing agent or MCST council: who does what
Your condo is run by the owners together, a council they elect, and often a managing agent they hire. This guide explains who decides what, who to contact, and where to go if things go wrong.
Short answers to single questions are in Home help. To find a building's management office, search the directory.
