These are third-party estimates, not official figures, and they differ from each other.

Check it for your exact building before you agree a rent or a renewal increase.

What's Different About a JVC Tenancy Contract

JVC has a few quirks that show up in tenancy contracts more than other areas:

Chiller fees — most JVC buildings use district cooling; contract should specify responsibility
Mixed building quality — older JVC blocks may need explicit maintenance clauses
Multiple sub-clusters (JVC 1, JVC 2, etc.) — make sure the contract location is precise
Townhouses often include garden / yard maintenance clauses
Many JVC tenants are family-oriented — contract often includes parking for 2 vehicles

Cheque Conventions in JVC

1 cheque — relatively common in JVC due to lower rent totals
2 cheques — frequent for studios and 1BRs
4 cheques — standard for 2BR and 3BR
6 or 12 cheques — sometimes available for villas

Common JVC Renting Pitfalls

Confusing similar building names — verify property number against title deed
Older buildings with frequent maintenance issues — get explicit landlord-pays clause
Mid-construction noise from neighbouring plots — note in Additional Terms if expected
DEWA premises errors — older JVC towers sometimes have non-sequential premises numbers
