Rents on private homes in Singapore increased by 4.2% in the first quarter of 2022. However, the growth is associated not only with the flow of visitors from Hong Kong. It's also a big demand from young people who want to live separately from their parents. In addition the crisis has caused construction delays and people who have not yet received flats and houses are forced to live in rented accommodation. In May 2022 one person can rent a bed for 16-25 dollars per night, but such rooms can accommodate from 8 to 18 people - and without gender distinctions.
