Is it located in the middle of nowhere?

If the first time you visited a flat made you change 3 buses or had you walking for 20 mins through narrow lanes, then you must realise it’s not gonna cut it. After all, whether it’s for office or college, you’ll have to commute from there every day. So even if the flat itself is a catch, an inconvenient location alone should be enough to pass it to someone else.

Is fully furnished really “fully” furnished?

Everyone claims the flat they’re offering is fully furnished. And most of them say that just by having a bed, table, and an AC in the room. So that’s on you to check if that’s really the case. Coz the thing is, compared to just having a bed and an AC, even a bare-bone space is better. As you’ll easily be able to fill it up with rented furniture with the money you save on rent. And that’s no rocket science, folks.

Do the amenities justify the rent?

So, do they? Because if you’re spending money on something, it better be worth it, right? Yes. Aside from the fact that a fully furnished flat for rent should be fully furnished, there should be other perks too.

Like a fully stocked kitchen, professional housekeeping, speedy Wi-Fi, tech-enabled security and 24×7 app-based assistance. Whoa! But that’s too much to expect, right? Ummm, well, wrong. Coz that’s what our Stanza Living apartments are all about. Everything you need is covered. That too at economical rents. 

What about the condition of the flat?

This is where you have to get down and dirty. Well, not literally. But you have to be methodical when you go for a property visit. Like, check if there’s any seepage issues, or if the bed is one jump away from breaking its legs, or if there’s so much moisture creeping onto the walls, the concrete breaks off as easily as a pastry. Basically, bring out your inner neighbourhood uncle who scans for anything fishy happening in his neighbourhood.

Are there any annoying house rules?

We know you don’t like paperwork. And some of you might not even like reading unless it’s on a social media platform. But checking the terms of the rental agreement and the house rules is a must. Repair and maintenance is something that should not be on you (unless it’s you who broke something down). Plus, check for any society rules that might seem too weird for you. Just that and you should be fine.
