There were no game consoles, only a kitchen island and a fish tank. I pretended they were a kitchen island and a fish tank, because my imagination is very limited. But the point is, you need to look for different home features if you have children:<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"E132\" class=\"qowt-stl-Normal\"><span id=\"E133\" class=\"qowt-font3-Arial\">1. Consider unfurnished apartments instead<\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"E134\" class=\"qowt-stl-Normal\"><span id=\"E135\" class=\"qowt-font3-Arial\">With furnished apartments, most landlords will not allow many changes. Landlords often consult interior designers on Fittings, Furnishings, and Equipment (FF&amp;E) as part of their renovation process \u2013 many have built the apartment around a particular theme (e.g. art deco, traditional Chinese, urban chic)<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"E136\" class=\"qowt-stl-Normal\"><span id=\"E137\" class=\"qowt-font3-Arial\">This will deprive you certain options that can make younger children more at home. You won\u2019t be able to stencil the walls <\/span><span id=\"E138\" class=\"qowt-font3-Arial\">for<\/span><span id=\"E139\" class=\"qowt-font3-Arial\"> a<\/span><span id=\"E140\" class=\"qowt-font3-Arial\"> theme nursery, for example.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"E141\" class=\"qowt-stl-Normal\"><span id=\"E142\" class=\"qowt-font3-Arial\">The main reason to choose unfurnished, however, is to protect your security deposit. Damage to furnishings is more likely when you have children, however well behaved they may be. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"E143\" class=\"qowt-stl-Normal\"><span id=\"E144\" class=\"qowt-font3-Arial\">(And having a party for 10 year olds and their friends, in an apartment with $150,000 of designer furniture, is a good way to end up with a Xanax prescription.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"E145\" class=\"qowt-stl-Normal\"><span id=\"E146\" class=\"qowt-font3-Arial\">Unfurnished apartments can also be money savers \u2013 <\/span><a id=\"E147\" contenteditable=\"false\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/99dotco\/?fref=ts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span id=\"E148\" class=\"qowt-font3-Arial qowt-stl-Hyperlink\">like us on Facebook<\/span><\/a><span id=\"E149\" class=\"qowt-font3-Arial\"> and we\u2019ll update you on these cost issues.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"E151\" class=\"qowt-stl-Normal\"><span id=\"E152\" class=\"qowt-font3-Arial\">2. Consider <\/span><span id=\"E153\" class=\"qowt-font3-Arial\">social <\/span><span id=\"E154\" class=\"qowt-font3-Arial\">access, not just accessibility<\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"E155\" class=\"qowt-stl-Normal\"><span id=\"E156\" class=\"qowt-font3-Arial\">You will want a place where your children can safely meet the neighbours and mingle. If you ar<\/span><span id=\"E157\" class=\"qowt-font3-Arial\">e renting a HDB flat, this is a foregone conclusion<\/span><span id=\"E158\" class=\"qowt-font3-Arial\"> \u2013 the design of the estates, with their open<\/span><span id=\"E159\" class=\"qowt-font3-Arial\"> void decks and shared play grounds \/ exercise facilities, are purpose built to facilitate this. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"E160\" class=\"qowt-stl-Normal\"><span id=\"E161\" class=\"qowt-font3-Arial\">Your children find it easy to make friends, and your neighbours will be more impossible to get off your back than a wet t-shirt.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"contentsContainer\" contenteditable=\"true\">\n<div id=\"contents\">\n<p id=\"E162\" class=\"qowt-stl-Normal\"><span id=\"E163\" class=\"qowt-font3-Arial\">If you do want to live in a private condominium, check if the management council organises family activities (e.g. flea markets, tea parties, community cookouts.) Condominiums with active management councils are more likely to have strong communities, which will make it easier for your children to find friends.<\/span><span id=\"E164\" class=\"qowt-font3-Arial\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"E166\" class=\"qowt-stl-Normal\"><span id=\"E167\" class=\"qowt-font3-Arial\">3. Balcony and window safety <\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"E168\" class=\"qowt-stl-Normal\"><span id=\"E169\" class=\"qowt-font3-Arial\">Most landlords will not<\/span><span id=\"E170\" class=\"qowt-font3-Arial\"> install safety grilles on the<\/span><span id=\"E171\" class=\"qowt-font3-Arial\"> windows, or high <\/span><span id=\"E172\" class=\"qowt-font3-Arial\">railings on balconies<\/span><span id=\"E173\" class=\"qowt-font3-Arial\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"E174\" class=\"qowt-stl-Normal\"><span id=\"E175\" class=\"qowt-font3-Arial\">These are banned<\/span><span id=\"E176\" class=\"qowt-font3-Arial\"> in some developments<\/span><span id=\"E177\" class=\"qowt-font3-Arial\">; the building managers want to maintain a uniform fa\u00e7ade. Or just as likely, the interior design threw a hissy fit and refused to \u201clike, design a prison of the soul, okay.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"E178\" class=\"qowt-stl-Normal\"><span id=\"E179\" class=\"qowt-font3-Arial\">This leaves things in your hands. You should ensure balcony walls are not climbable by children &#8211; a one metre height is used by most shopping malls, and is a good guideline. There also shouldn\u2019t be features like steps or grooves, which will make the wall possible to climb.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"E180\" class=\"qowt-stl-Normal\"><span id=\"E181\" class=\"qowt-font3-Arial\">If there are large windows that your child can easily fit through, you may want to install grilles on the inside (if it\u2019s allowed), or look for units where the windows are not easily opened. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"E183\" class=\"qowt-stl-Normal\"><span id=\"E184\" class=\"qowt-font3-Arial\">4. Vertical storage should be attached to the walls<\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"E185\" class=\"qowt-stl-Normal\"><span id=\"E186\" class=\"qowt-font3-Arial\">Vertical storage refers to features like bookshelves or tall display cabinets. These exist to maximise space, and to provide YouTube with an endless series of fail videos when they fall on people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"E187\" class=\"qowt-stl-Normal\"><span id=\"E188\" class=\"qowt-font3-Arial\">As far as possible, vertical storage should be firmly attached to the walls. If that can\u2019t be done, they should at least be pushed up against the wall, rather than be left free standing. Most landlords are flexible about this, but if yours isn\u2019t then consider the falling danger to your children.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"E190\" class=\"qowt-stl-Normal\"><span id=\"E191\" class=\"qowt-font3-Arial\">5. Newly renovated homes can actually be worse for children with asthma, or\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"qowt-font3-Arial\">other respiratory issues<\/span><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"contentsContainer\" contenteditable=\"true\">\n<div id=\"contents\">\n<p id=\"E192\" class=\"qowt-stl-Normal\"><span id=\"E193\" class=\"qowt-font3-Arial\">You\u2019d think a brand, spanking new home would be cleaner and better for children with allergies, asthma, etc. Now that <\/span><span id=\"E194\" class=\"qowt-font3-Arial\">may <\/span><span id=\"E195\" class=\"qowt-font3-Arial\">be true, depending on how the renovation was done.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"E196\" class=\"qowt-stl-Normal\"><span id=\"E197\" class=\"qowt-font3-Arial\">Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are toxins released from fresh paint, and especially from <\/span><a id=\"E198\" contenteditable=\"false\" href=\"http:\/\/articles.mercola.com\/sites\/articles\/archive\/2014\/10\/01\/carpet-installation.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span id=\"E199\" class=\"qowt-font3-Arial qowt-stl-Hyperlink\">new carpeting<\/span><\/a><span id=\"E200\" class=\"qowt-font3-Arial\">. You know that \u201cnew building\u201d smell? Congratulations, you were probably inhaling poison. VOCs <\/span><span id=\"E201\" class=\"qowt-font3-Arial\">cause severe lung irritation, and can worsen existing conditions like asthma.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"E202\" class=\"qowt-stl-Normal\"><span id=\"E203\" class=\"qowt-font3-Arial\">VOCs <\/span><span id=\"E204\" class=\"qowt-font3-Arial\">can linger in a newly renovated home for weeks to months, depending on how <\/span><span id=\"E205\" class=\"qowt-font3-Arial\">the contractors did their jobs. <\/span><span id=\"E206\" class=\"qowt-font3-Arial\">So you should raise the issue with the landlord, and check whether they used low VOC paints, whether pesticides were used when laying the new carpet, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"E208\" class=\"qowt-stl-Normal\"><span id=\"E209\" class=\"qowt-font3-Arial\">6. <\/span><span id=\"E210\" class=\"qowt-font3-Arial\">Drop by the apartment at around 10pm, before renting<\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"E211\" class=\"qowt-stl-Normal\"><span id=\"E212\" class=\"qowt-font3-Arial\">Most viewings take place in the day. The neighbours aren\u2019t in. They could be a pair of bookish young teachers, or a pair of death metal rockers who lost their hearing 12 years ago and still haven\u2019t noticed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"E213\" class=\"qowt-stl-Normal\"><span id=\"E214\" class=\"qowt-font3-Arial\">That\u2019s why you want to drop by at night for a few minutes, just to check the noise level. If you have a toddler, or young children who need to go to school, this step is <\/span><span id=\"E215\" class=\"qowt-font3-Arial\">extremely vital<\/span><span id=\"E216\" class=\"qowt-font3-Arial\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"E217\" class=\"qowt-stl-Normal\"><span id=\"E218\" class=\"qowt-font3-Arial\">This advice could save you having to hire a good defence attorney later.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"E220\" class=\"qowt-stl-Normal\"><span id=\"E221\" class=\"qowt-font3-Arial\">It will take a lot of extra time to find a child-friendly apartment, because let\u2019s be frank: human beings were not designed to live in little cubes. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"E222\" class=\"qowt-stl-Normal\"><span id=\"E223\" class=\"qowt-font3-Arial\">But you <\/span><span id=\"E224\" class=\"qowt-font3-Arial\">can<\/span><span id=\"E225\" class=\"qowt-font3-Arial\"> find the mo<\/span><span id=\"E226\" class=\"qowt-font3-Arial\">s<\/span><span id=\"E227\" class=\"qowt-font3-Arial\">t comfortable and safe options.
