We are not here to push you into a private rental. If student housing suits you better, we will say so.
You get a plan you can decide from — not a pile of listings.
Tell us your school, intake, budget and move-in date, and we put all three routes side by side with the numbers worked out.
You tell us: School, Intake, Move-in date, Budget, Lease length, Alone or sharing.
The plan sets out: Expected monthly rent, Commute, Lease and deposit, Utilities and other charges, Any agent fee, Upsides, trade-offs and risks.
The example figures in a plan are indicative ranges, not a quote on a held unit.

= Total for the year
= Total for the year
What gets compared is the total for the year, not the monthly number. If the private route is not clearly better for you, we are not going to push it to close a deal.
The landlord’s agent represents the landlord. We can formally represent the tenant.
If you formally engage us for a private rental, it is your interest we act on. On any one transaction an agent may represent only one side, and be paid by only one side.
Once formally engaged, we handle: Working out what you need, Searching the market, Viewings, in person or on video, Dealing with the landlord and their agent, Negotiating rent and lease terms, The tenancy process and paperwork, Handover at move-in.
If you formally engage us to act for you as tenant, that fee is not for "introducing you to a room" — it is for formally representing you in Singapore’s private rental market. Whether that is worth it, we work out with you first.
A student who needs a private rental formally appoints Anjiapo’s estate agency to act for them as tenant, and pays the tenant agency commission set out and confirmed in advance: one-year tenancy, half a month’s rent; two-year tenancy, one month’s rent. Rates are exclusive of GST, charged separately at the prevailing Singapore rate. The fee covers representation of the tenant’s interest, verification of the listing and the transaction, negotiation, the tenancy process and move-in support. Paying to be represented is the point: it puts a licensed property professional in Singapore on the student’s side of the table, checking the transaction and cutting the risk of a rental scam in a country they do not know yet.
Your housing is not handed to an anonymous platform. You know who is answerable for your case in Singapore.

Where you live follows where you study: the same budget rents a different room and a different commute depending on the campus. Each guide works from that campus’s own walking range and the areas students actually take.

Once a student has appointed us as tenant representative and a qualifying private rental completes, we help with arrival, the move-in inspection and guidance on a SIM card and a bank account — to the confirmed scope, and never as a free or standalone package. See the settlement services
Run a study-abroad agency?
Yes. A student who needs a private rental formally appoints Anjiapo’s estate agency to act for them as tenant, and pays the tenant agency commission set out and confirmed in advance: one-year tenancy, half a month’s rent; two-year tenancy, one month’s rent. Rates are exclusive of GST, charged separately at the prevailing Singapore rate. The fee covers representation of the tenant’s interest, verification of the listing and the transaction, negotiation, the tenancy process and move-in support. The rate follows the lease term, not the room type: a single room, a whole unit and a group share are all charged the same way. Paying to be represented is the point: it puts a licensed property professional in Singapore on the student’s side of the table, checking the transaction and cutting the risk of a rental scam in a country they do not know yet.
The student. Singapore’s rules: on one transaction an agent may represent only one side, and be paid by only one side.
It depends on the school, the budget, the lease length and how you live. When the saving is small, we will say so and suggest student housing.
Price, facilities, minimum tenancy and occupancy rules all differ (HDB from six months, private from three — the current official position governs). Your plan spells it out.
Yes. We go to the unit and film what you actually care about — how big the room really is, the light, the corridor, the neighbourhood.
Yes, 2–4 of you. One tenancy agreement, shared responsibility. What the fee looks like depends on who engages and who pays in that particular deal, and we say so before we start.
About 6–8 weeks before your intake, earlier at peak. Sooner and you have not decided; later and the good units are gone.
Parents get a move-in report and progress updates, and the CEA registration number of the person responsible can be checked on the official register at any time.
