If the landlord has other sources of income, it's workable. However, I suspect most of the landlords out there are lesser mortals with little or no luxuries in life.
VERY SIMPLE SOLUTION FELLOW S'POREANS
FTs come to S'pore, need a place to stay...
So we mark up our rental prices of rooms to them...
Then they have to pay extra, and hence, THIS EATS into their pay...
Thus, if an Indian Ah Neh works for SGD 2k, rent a room at SGD 1k, left SGD 1k a month, see if he still wants to come here and work.
