Enjoy fully furnished rental apartments and all-inclusive, flexible leases in prime central locations
Find My Boutique HomeBoutique rental apartments in Singapore's heritage shophouses — all-inclusive, no agent fee, move-in ready.
Singapore's rental apartment market moves fast — listings disappear within days and agent fees add a month's rent to your upfront costs before you've unpacked. Figment offers a different model: boutique rental apartments in conserved shophouses, fully set up and ready to move into, with no agent fee and no hidden charges. Our rental apartments span Singapore's most storied neighbourhoods. In Jalan Besar and Petain Road, houses like Brick, Kongsi, Derby, Monochrome, Cavenagh, Allenby, Venus, Voyage, and Peninsula put you two minutes from Farrer Park MRT and the hawker centres of Little India, from S$1,850/month. In Geylang, Red Dragon, Alexandra, Gallery, Pop, and Club House offer the same all-inclusive setup closer to the city fringe, from S$1,900/month. Tanjong Pagar's Vignette House and Canvas House sit within walking distance of the CBD and Tanjong Pagar MRT, from S$2,700/month — ideal for professionals who want to walk to work.
Every rental apartment includes WiFi, utilities, and weekly housekeeping of shared areas in the monthly rate — there's no separate bill for electricity or water, and no surprise charges at month-end. Leases run on a three-month minimum with one month's notice, which gives you flexibility without the twelve-month lock-in that most condo landlords require. And because Figment manages its own buildings, you deal directly with us — no intermediary, no commission. The shophouses themselves are URA-conserved pre-war terraces, meaning high ceilings, original timber details, and façades that have been standing since the 1920s. Your room is private and furnished; the kitchen, living areas, and sometimes a roof terrace are shared with a small group of like-minded residents — typically young professionals and creatives on 3-to-12-month stints in Singapore. If you're relocating for work, between leases, or simply want a fully furnished base in the city without a twelve-month commitment, Figment's rental apartments are worth a look. Prices start from S$1,850/month all-inclusive. No agent fee. No deposit surprises. Book a viewing and we'll show you what's available this month.

Figment manages each building professionally with maintenance support and weekly cleaning of common areas. All homes are URA-approved for residential use with a 3-month minimum lease and 1-month notice to leave. No agent fee. Fully furnished. Browse all available rooms at the Figment houses page.

According to the Council for Estate Agencies, to rent property in Singapore, you need to be a Singapore citizen or permanent resident. Non-citizens may rent if they hold an employment or work permit like an S-pass, a student pass, dependent pass or long term social visit pass. That said, even with foreigners holding legal residence, the problem is that most Singapore landlords may not be too pleased with a month-to-month lease agreement and would typically require at least a 1 or 2 year contract. Figment provides a much-needed. flexible alternative for studio apartment rentals with flexible lease terms and a 1-month notice period.
