Frequently Asked Questions

Most rentals include the main house and DSQ accommodation. Utilities (water, electricity) may be separate or included depending on the property. Always confirm what's covered before signing a lease.
Some landlords specify the DSQ is only for domestic staff while others allow family use. This should be clearly stated in your rental agreement to avoid conflicts.
Standard practice requires 1-2 months' rent as refundable deposit. For premium properties in gated communities, some landlords may request additional amounts.
Any structural modifications require written landlord approval. Most leases prohibit permanent alterations to either the main house or DSQ without consent.
Most residential leases run for 1-2 years. Shorter terms may attract higher monthly rates. Corporate leases sometimes negotiate longer durations.
