4) Choosing the right place to live on rent
Property TypeFirst of all, think carefully about the type of property you'd like to rent and which best suits your lifestyle.
No of Rooms
For example, if you are single, and just need a place to crash in evenings, a small place might do just fine, however if you have a family with visiting parents, you may want to go in for an extra bedrooms. If privacy and security is important, then a ground floor flat may be ruled out. If you have a car, then a reserved parking space is a must.
Furnished Status
Do you want fully furnished or unfurnished accommodation or would something that's just part-furnished be okay? Often this has a bearing on rent. To fully furnish an apartment, it can cost anywhere between Rs. 400,000/- to Rs. 600,000/-. You might want to consider renting a fully furnished apartment if you are not relocating with existing furniture and white goods.
Facilities and Recreation
Key questions to ask yourself: Are you or your family going to utilize the amenities available within the residential complex. If yes, by all means go for it. Full fledged complexes are great place to live in and relax after a hard day’s work and commute.
Condition of Property
Does the apartment leak during Monsoon? Is the immediate area prone to flooding during Monsoon? How old is the property? How is the maintenance of the common areas? These are just some of the questions that need to be asked before renting a property.
Location
Mumbai is changing fast. There are a number of infrastructure projects underway, lots more cars on the road, and consequently travelling by road is a time consuming affair. It is therefore vital to get rent a property close to work/ school in order to enjoy a better quality of life.
