Stuck with leftover furniture after a tenant vacates your property?
Whether you’re managing an HDB unit, a condo apartment, or a landed house, old and unwanted furniture can delay handovers, frustrate new tenants, and create legal risks if not disposed of properly.
In this guide, we explain how Singapore landlords can legally and quickly dispose of leftover furniture, avoid fines, and keep your property rent-ready — with help from Junk Value.
Today’s tenants — especially expats and younger Singaporeans — often request unfurnished homes. Why?
✅ They're bringing their own furniture
They prefer to rent or buy specific items
✅ They’re wary of used mattresses or sofas for hygiene reasons
✅ They want a minimalistic or curated look
As a landlord, leaving old furniture behind could cost you good tenants. Proactive disposal is now part of good property management.

You can… but should you?
Unless the items are:
Antique or high-value (e.g. rosewood, solid teak)
Sentimentally important
Nearly brand-new
…it usually isn’t worth paying for storage in Singapore. Monthly storage costs can quickly surpass the resale value of a secondhand IKEA bed or sagging sofa.
Short answer: It’s not as easy as it sounds.
Listing on Carousell, Gumtree, or Facebook Marketplace might work if:
The items are in great condition
You’re willing to wait
You’re okay with no-shows or timewasters
Unfortunately, most people don’t want old mattresses, stained sofas, or bulky wardrobes — especially if there’s no lift access.
When you need to clear your unit fast, avoid fines, and impress your next tenant, call in the professionals.
