Furniture a tenant can take, without pretending we rent it
Homey Furnishing does not rent furniture. A tenant who wants pieces they can take should buy loose furniture, not a built-in scribed to someone else’s wall. Dismantling a wardrobe the landlord owns is refused. A carton is the assembly band. A carpenter piece you will leave behind is a conversation with the landlord, then quote on inspection.

What this job actually is
Last updated 31 October 2026.
Searches for rental furniture in Singapore are full of event hire and monthly sofa plans. That is not this firm. We do not rent a table by the month, and we do not place a tenant. This page is for someone furnishing a rented HDB or condo with pieces they can remove, or for a landlord asking what a tenant should not unscrew. The built-in versus loose guide is the longer split. This page is the tenancy.
Read the tenancy before anyone drills. A loose bed frame assembled at S$80 to S$150, a carton wardrobe at S$100 to S$650, and a small shelf at S$50 to S$80 do not need an HDB renovation permit. The tenancy can still say no holes. If it says no holes, we will not anchor a tall bookcase and we will not pretend an unanchored tall bookcase is safe. Buy a piece that does not need a screw, or do not buy the tall one. The child and pet page is why the anchor exists. The contract is why it may be forbidden.
Do not dismantle a wardrobe, a kitchen or a shoe cabinet that was there when you moved in, unless the landlord has agreed in writing. The dismantling page already says we will not take apart something the landlord owns. If you installed a built-in and the tenancy says you must reinstate, stripping it can be a permit as well as a contract. HDB’s renovation page and the fine of up to $5,000 apply when a renovation breaches the rules. V On Construction invoices that permit. A loose sofa is not that renovation. Clause 7.2 refuses screws into a shelter wall even if the landlord said “use that wall”.
What leaves with you should pass the lift on the way out as well as in. The moving guide is both directions. We do not publish a truck rate. Town-council bulky collection is for loose items the council’s rules accept, and it is the tenant or the owner who books it, not us. Do not leave a sofa in the corridor because the tenancy ended on a Sunday. A carpenter piece scribed to this flat will not fit the next one. Pay for a scribe only if someone is keeping it.
A landlord who wants the flat furnished for the next tenant can buy loose pieces and have them assembled, or can commission built-ins they accept they are giving away with the flat. That commission is quote on inspection. It is not a furniture-rental contract. We do not market or let the flat. Fair-wear pages on this site talk about holes and damage. They are not a free haulage service. Holes from anchors you were allowed to drill can be the small hole patch at S$150 to S$280 when that sentence matches. A feature wall of screws is not that sentence.
BCA plan approval is not a tenant’s bookcase. A condo landlord still needs the MCST’s rules on drilling and on moving day. Those rules are not an HDB permit and they are not a price. Curtains the landlord wants are the curtain pages that already exist, not this booking.
Homey Furnishing Pte. Ltd. (ACRA UEN 202018148K), 27 Mandai Estate, #06-10 Innovation Place, Singapore 729931, invoices permit-exempt furniture assembly and repair. V On Construction Pte. Ltd. (ACRA UEN 201611708H), on the HDB Directory of Renovation Contractors, invoices an HDB renovation permit when the work is a new layout, hacking, or a built-in strip-out. Homey Furnishing is not a removal company and does not publish a truck rate.
Curtains, blinds and roller shades are not part of this booking. Fabric window treatments are a different product, and these pages do not quote them.
What to do first
Look at the piece in the room. Do not drag a tall wardrobe across a wet floor to test it.
- Read whether drilling and built-ins are allowed.
- Do not unscrew what you do not own.
- Choose loose pieces that can leave through the lift.
- Do not buy a tall unit you are forbidden to anchor.
- Expect an assembly band for a carton and a quote for anything scribed.
| What you see | Safe check | Stop |
|---|---|---|
| Carton bed or wardrobe you own | Assembly | Printed band |
| Landlord’s built-in | Leave it | We will not dismantle it |
| Tenancy says no drilling | No anchors | Do not buy a tall unfixed case |
| You must reinstate a built-in you added | Permit possible | quote on inspection |
HDB, condo and landed
The building changes the permission and the disposal path. It does not invent a second price.
| Question | HDB | Condo | Landed |
|---|---|---|---|
| HDB rental | No renovation permit for a loose piece. The tenancy can be stricter. | Shelter walls stay refused. | Bulky disposal is not the corridor. |
| Condo rental | MCST plus the tenancy. No HDB permit to hide behind. | A moving deposit is the building’s. | Same carton bands. |
| Room rental | The room door and the shared corridor are the path. | Do not drill a room you may leave in a year. | A loose desk is the study page if it is carpenter-made, or the desk band if it is that carton. |
What we will not be hired as
Not a furniture rental company. Not someone letting the flat. A helper’s room is still a room: loose furniture, the same bands, no drilling if the contract forbids it. We do not hire domestic workers.
Not a reinstatement contractor by default. If the scope is hacking the tenant’s carpentry out, that is the permit path and quote on inspection. Read the tenancy before you book it.
Pieces that survive a move
A carton bed, a carton wardrobe, a small shelf and a standing desk at S$140 to S$260 are pieces with a second life if they pass the next lift. A scribed TV console, a platform built around a column, and a shoe bench that blocks this gate do not. The size guide is how to avoid buying the second kind.
If you already own the wrong piece, resizing is the resize page and is quote on inspection. Do not cut a landlord’s table.
How you're charged
How you're charged
A furniture job that already has a sentence on HomeySG uses that sentence. Nothing in this table is a fuel surcharge, and the handyman hour is not added on top of a band unless the written scope says so. IKEA publishes its own checkout fee. That percentage is not a HomeySG band.
| Charge | What it covers | 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| Published furniture band | The photo matches a row already on a furniture page | That row |
| Bed frame assembly | The bed row on the furniture assembly page | S$80 to S$150 |
| Wardrobe assembly | The wardrobe row, confirmed from photos | S$100 to S$650 |
| Cabinet door alignment | The hinge-adjustment visit on cabinet repair | S$50 to S$100 |
| Soft-close slides, 1 to 3 drawers | The drawer-runner page | S$110 to S$220 |
| Dining chair seats, 4 to 6 | Seat re-upholstery, not a new sofa | S$240 to S$480 |
| Custom carpentry, a truck, a full sofa re-cover, or rattan binding | No catalogue row for that product | quote on inspection |
Who may do the work
Who is allowed to do the work
The permit guide on this site already splits hardware from a renovation. A cabinet hinge, a gas strut and a drawer runner do not need an HDB renovation permit when the layout stays. A new kitchen or bathroom layout, hacking, or removing a wall does. Fines for unauthorised work are already written there as up to S$5,000. Homey Furnishing does not sign the permit invoice.
- Flat-pack assembly uses the furniture assembly catalogue. Tall units are wall-anchored on that visit. A separate anti-tip price is not printed, except the child-gate and anti-tip bundle at S$180 to S$420 when that bundle is the job.
- A built-in that has to come off the wall can become a strip-out. That is V On Construction if the flat is HDB and the work needs a permit. A loose shelf inside a carcass is not a strip-out.
- Town councils collect some bulky loose items on their own rules. We are not the collector, and we do not publish their fee.
- A new cable inside a wardrobe is an electrician. Assembly does not include a new circuit.
- Do not anchor into a household shelter wall. The permit guide already keeps TV brackets and shelves off that wall.
- A hollow partition or a false ceiling is a poor anchor for a tall wardrobe. If the fixing cannot reach structure, the visit stops.
- Active termites are not painted over. Skirting and door-frame replacement after damage uses the termite page bands. We do not claim to be the pest-control operator.
- Curtains, blinds and roller shades are not quoted here.
Ways to keep the bill smaller
Ways to keep the bill smaller
- Photograph every piece before a carpenter is booked. A hinge visit is not a new kitchen.
- Put the flat-pack in the room where it will stand. Carrying a built wardrobe down an HDB corridor is a second job.
- If the drawer only sticks, use the published slide row. A new carcass is the cabinet page, and only when the board is swollen.
- Book the town council bulky slot before you pay anyone to truck a loose sofa. Many councils collect a limited number of loose items. Built-ins are usually excluded.
- If the tenancy says no drilling, a tall bookcase you cannot anchor is the wrong purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you rent furniture for an HDB?
No. We assemble loose pieces you own, or we quote a carpenter piece. We are not a rental company.
Can a tenant install a built-in wardrobe?
Only if the tenancy allows it. You may be giving it to the landlord, and removing it later can need a permit. A carton wardrobe is S$100 to S$650 and leaves with you.
The contract says no drilling. Can you still anchor a bookcase?
No. An unanchored tall bookcase is the wrong purchase. Buy a piece that does not need a screw.
Can you remove the landlord’s cabinets?
No, unless the landlord has agreed. We will not dismantle furniture you do not own.
Who takes the sofa when I move out?
You, or a mover you hire, or the town council if their bulky rules accept it. We do not publish a truck rate. Do not leave it in the corridor.
Are you the landlord’s agent?
No. We do not market or let the flat.
