Guidelines for Students to Follow When Renting in Chennai

• Location Matters
• Research Well
• Different Types of Accommodation for Students in Chennai to Choose From
• Consider Facilities

Location Matters

Chennai is a city of about 4 million people, spread out over about 200 square kilometers. The university is in the northwest of the city, so you will have to choose between living close to it or not.

The main areas are Adyar, Mylapore, T Nagar and Kodambakkam. Adyar has a lot of apartments for rent, but they are far from the university. Mylapore is closer to the university but has fewer apartments for rent. T Nagar and Kodambakkam are close to the university. They have many residential complexes with small apartments available for rental at reasonable prices. There are many options, basically. And it can be overwhelming. It’s like going to an ice cream parlor for the first time.

Research Well

This is one of the crucial things to finding a rental apartment. The internet can be your best friend when it comes to finding good apartments in Chennai. You will be able to see pictures and videos of the apartment or options for a single room to rent, which will give you an idea about its condition and location. If possible, visit the apartment before signing any papers or paying fees. This will help you avoid getting ripped off by property agents or landlords who may try selling fake properties and then disappear with your money like your pens disappear when you most need them.

Different Types of Accommodation for Students in Chennai to Choose From

If you are searching for an apartment for rent in Chennai, the following are some of the accommodation options available:

Managed residences like Stanza Living. They have the vibe of the hostels without all the hassles. We do all the dirty workroom cleaning, laundry, and cooking, so you can spend time with the like-minded people you share the residence with.

Hostels are quite popular among students because they provide affordable accommodation. Students can easily find hostels near campuses where they study so that they don’t have to travel too far away from their college campus to return home after classes or during office hours.

On-campus housing is a great way to meet new people and make friends quickly. You’ll be living with other students studying at your university, so you can use that commonality as a starting point for building friendships. It’s also convenient because it’s close to campus, so you won’t have to waste time traveling between school and home every day. But fair warning: on-campus housing can often be disorganized and mismanaged. Basically, one random day water might stop coming from the shower. While you’re under it.

Residential apartments are a good option for students who want to live with their friends in a convenient location. They are usually located close to colleges, so you can easily walk over to class, and most of them allow pets. They also tend to be quite inexpensive than other options, making them an affordable choice for students on a budget.

Dorms are great for students who want to live with other students under one roof but don’t care about having their own room or bathroom-they just need a place where they can sleep and study during the day before heading out into town at night!

Consider Facilities

Before you take a look at any apartments, check out the facilities. You’ll want to know how many bathrooms there are, how many bedrooms and whether there’s a kitchen or not. If there is a kitchen, find out if it’s equipped with appliances like a fridge, washing machine, and oven (or at least a hob). Facilities are stationary. You might not use all of them, but it’s nice to have as many as possible handy.

Let’s sum it up

If you’re a student who’s new to Chennai, we hope this guide will help you navigate the city. Remember that the city might be big and intimidating at first. But with time, it’ll feel more and more like home. Especially if you find the right rental house i.e. Stanza Living *wink, wink*
