Handyman work for landlords and property managers

A landlord in Singapore, or the manager who holds several units, needs a repair done without turning the handyman into the agent. We replace the hinge, the silicone, the closer, the ceiling board or the lock. We send an invoice from Homey Furnishing Pte. Ltd. We do not advertise the unit, hold the deposit, or tell a tenant to leave. CEA regulates estate agents. We are not one.

Search asks whether a letting agent is responsible for repairs, what a property agent’s duties are, and what the common landlord-tenant fights are. The fights we actually see in the photos are a slow trap, a failed aircon receipt, mould on a wall, a closer, and holes at handover. Who must pay is the tenancy. The minor-repair guide on this site is where that clause is discussed. This page will not pick a winner.

A manager with a portfolio still does not get a secret rate. Each fitting uses its row. The co-living retainer, S$1,500 to S$4,800 a month for 20 to 100 rooms, is a specific product with room-coded invoices. It is not a discount card for ten scattered condos. Landed annual plans, S$580 to S$2,800, are for terrace, semi-detached and bungalow houses, including a photo report on the quarterly plan. They are not a condo-manager fee.

Curtains, blinds and roller shades are not part of this booking.

The instruction should say who may approve extra work. A tenant at home may point at five more faults. If the owner only approved the hinge, the hinge is the visit. Extra tasks are confirmed before they are done. One task is S$55. A second permit-exempt task on the same visit is time at S$45 an hour only when the scope says the hour applies, or it is its own band if a band exists. We write that down. A corridor conversation is how a S$55 hinge becomes an unpriced afternoon.

Aircon is the clause people argue about. General servicing is from S$38 a unit, or from S$25 a unit for five or more. A quarterly service of 3 to 5 fan-coil units is S$120 to S$180 and includes a company-stamped receipt. That receipt is the document a tenancy clause usually asks for. It does not say the tenant must pay or the landlord must pay. Mould on a wall is the same. The mould guide explains condensation and cleaning. Blame is not a line on our invoice. If the owner wants the stain painted after the cause has stopped, the stain row is S$150 to S$400.

At the end of a tenancy the photos matter more than the adjective “wear”. Nail holes and scuffs that match a small hole patch are S$150 to S$280 when that sentence fits. A digital-lock bore filled on a timber fire door is S$160 to S$350. An ordinary tenancy clean is the cleaning page, not a handyman hour. We do not tell you whether a hole is fair wear. The tenancy guide is the place for that question. “Are nail holes normal wear and tear?” is a clause question. Our answer is the price of filling them if you ask us to fill them.

Good landlord paperwork is a photo, a row, and an invoice to the person who booked. Sloppy paperwork is a single “tenant damage” total with no photo, a promise that we will support an eviction, or a manager’s commission buried in the repair. Commission is not our charge. Rent increases are not our charge. A 2026 rent-cap question is not a Singapore repair.

Send the address, HDB, condo or landed, and whether the occupier is a tenant. If the property is being listed for stays under three months, read the serviced-apartment page and URA’s rule before you send anything. We decline turnovers for that use. A shop or an office that a landlord owns is the shop and office pages. This page is the person instructing, not a second price list.

Pick the fitting’s page. The landlord label does not change the band.

Questions a business should ask

Managers should ask a contractor these, and owners should ask their agent the payer question separately.

1. Who is allowed to add tasks on the day?
2. Which printed band is each line?
3. Will the invoice name Homey Furnishing, and for which unit?
4. Are you deciding who pays? The answer should be no.
5. Is the aircon visit the quarterly receipt or a chemical wash?
6. Is this a house plan being applied to a condo?
7. Is any stay under three months in a private home?
8. Are eviction, rent, or commission inside the quote? They should not be.

Tell us the building. A manager who says “my units” still has to name them.

The tenancy guide covers minor-repair clauses and the mould question as a clause, not as a verdict. URA’s short-term page is the stay rule. MOM’s principal duty applies when a manager engages us: the principal checks that the contractor can do the work. If the manager directs the method, MOM says employer duties follow. We still do not publish a response time.

We are not a property agency. We do not charge commission, draft a CEA tenancy, or advise whether a tenant can be evicted. A question about the maximum rent increase is outside this trade. Deposit fights about nail holes can be priced as a patch. They cannot be judged here.

How you're charged

A job that already has a sentence on HomeySG uses that sentence. The hour is not added on top of a band unless the written scope says so. There is no fuel surcharge and no published night premium except the mall overnight row.

The person who books is the person we invoice, unless the written scope names another payer. That invoice is not a ruling that the tenant owes it.

Ways to keep the bill smaller

• Approve a list before the visit. Doorstep additions are how the bill drifts.
• Use the aircon receipt row when the clause asks for a receipt. A verbal “it was serviced” fails the handover.
• Do not buy the landed plan for a condo, or the co-living retainer for ten unrelated flats.
• Read the minor-repair guide before you deduct a deposit. The deduction is your clause, not our sentence.

Landlord visits use ordinary rows. There is no landlord multiplier.

Anything not in that table is quote on inspection.
