Look At the Area-wise Average Monthly Rents

If you’re moving to Chennai, it’s pretty obvious that you’d want to stay near your college or workplace. But there’s more than just one locality to choose from. So before you start your apartment-hunting, make sure you pull out a list of the average monthly rents in those areas. That’ll help you understand which areas will fit under your budget and which ones most definitely won’t. Basically, don’t make a dash for something when your wallet can’t keep up.

Check the Furniture in the Apartment

Using rental listing websites, social media, facebook groups or referrals, we know you’ll end up shortlisting a few apartments you like. But your job’s far from over. Now, you’ve got to start visiting the apartments physically before you even think about moving in. That’s mainly because not all listings write the absolute truth in their descriptions. So you don’t want to book a fully furnished flat only to find out that it only has a bed and cupboard after you move in. Then, you’d probably have to lie to your mum and dad that everything’s working out fine.

Check if the Quality of Furniture Justifies the Rent

You already know that the rent of a furnished flat is slightly higher than that of an unfurnished one. So it’s on you to check if the quality of furniture justifies paying that extra 3k-6k on your monthly rent. Because if it doesn’t, it makes more sense to even move to an unfurnished flat and spend that extra 3k-6k on a furniture rental website. Altho we’re 100 percent sure you will find plenty more furnished flats that offer a fair deal.

Read the Terms of Rental Agreement

Everybody wants to avoid paperwork. So do we. But when it comes to making a life in a new city, make sure your rental agreement has nothing that can come back and bite you later. Like unnecessary rules in the apartment complex. Or a dodgy repair and maintenance policy. And the worst of all, any hidden charges. So read those pages carefully. Or get a friend to help you out who knows how to look out for these things. That is if you’re someone who looks at legal jargon like it’s a prescription written by a doctor.
