Grow Your Rental Income by 50% Just by Offering a Junk-Free Apartment
You wouldn’t believe how much an old couch or rusty fridge is costing you. In Singapore’s competitive rental market, appearances and usability matter more than ever.
According to a 2024 study by Southeast Asia Property Trends, tenants are 60% more likely to sign a lease on a clutter-free unit. That means a little junk disposal can lead to a big rental payday.
Here’s how eliminating unwanted furniture and broken appliances can boost your property income, fast.
1. Clean Space = Higher Rent (+50%)
Tenants, especially expats and working professionals, want a home that feels fresh and spacious. If your unit has leftover mattresses, broken TVs, or mismatched wardrobes, you’re not just cluttering the space—you’re dragging down the price.
Property agents report that junk-free apartments can command 30% to 50% more rent compared to similar cluttered ones.
Clear the junk, and you clear the way for premium listings.
2. First Impressions Sell Faster
Imagine this: two condos. One looks spacious and sleek. The other? Stacks of broken chairs and a giant dusty fish tank. Guess which one the tenant picks?
In 2023, Singapore landlords with clutter-free listings saw units rented out 2x faster on average.
Professional photos also perform better when there’s no junk blocking your marble floors.
3. Reduce Maintenance Calls
Old appliances and broken beds aren’t just ugly—they’re liability magnets. Every broken item left behind invites wear, complaints, or worse.
Landlords who cleared junk before handing over units reported 25% fewer tenant complaints in the first 3 months.
Remove the junk, reduce the drama.
4. Attract Better Tenants
Yes, even couch surfers will pay—if the couch doesn’t look like it came from a dumpster.
Data shows units with clean, decluttered interiors attract higher-quality tenants, with longer lease durations and better payment histories.
Let go of that giant unused wardrobe and make room for better renters.
5. Tax Deductions & Value Appreciation
Did you know junk removal may be claimable under property maintenance expenses in Singapore?
Smart landlords use junk removal as part of pre-rental upgrades, resulting in up to 15% capital appreciation.
If you’re renting out to grow wealth, junk is your enemy.
So, What Should You Dump First?
Broken or stained mattresses
Unused bed frames
Old sofas and chairs
Obsolete white goods (fridges, washers)
Random leftover junk from past tenants
When in doubt, dump it.
