That was why u see some MLs moving house like half yearly or quarterly. To rent a Condo unit normally needs to sign rental agreement for 1 or 2 years and pay 1 month deposit. Daily rental fee is more affordable to them albeit more expensive. Some units have malfunctioning aircon, washing machine, etc. and they have to pay for repair or servicing charges.
Some MLs will choose to get a local bf to rent the unit for them to save cost. Some senior cheongsters can probably tell who these MLs are.
