Wondering-Why Is It So Hard to Find an Apartment?- Here’s What You Can Do

We know, right? It’s kinda hard to find apartments for rent that ticks all the boxes for you. First, because most rental apartments are age-old buildings with the weirdest architecture. Second, we tend to be a little nit-picky when it comes to apartments for rent. But don’t you worry, my fren. We’re here to tell you some ways to find furnished apartments for rent without losing your mind at the end of it.

No need to thank us though. Coz this is what we, at Stanza Living residences, set our alarms and wake up every day for. That is, to help young migrants like y’all to find your second home in a new city. And we do that by managing more than 450+ second homes (co-living hostels and apartments) across 26 cities. So folks, whenever you find yourself in a new city and ask for ‘apartments for rent near me’, be sure that we’ll answer that question simply by pointing to any of our co-living apartments. So bookmark this page and read on. Otherwise, we wish you all the best in those flats where the bathroom is smaller than the balcony and the kitchen is larger than the bedroom.

So how exactly do you find your dream apartment for rent in a new city?

Here you go. These are the sure shot ways of finding good flats in your preferred locality:

  • Just Google
  • Start talking to your colleagues or batchmates
  • Connect with your friends or relatives living in the city
  • Take help from social media
  • Hire a broker
  • Look towards managed accommodation

Looking for flats with pre-installed Wi-Fi and professional housekeeping?

Go for our Stanza Living managed apartments.

Just Google

In case you haven’t done the obvious thing already, you gotta Google ‘service apartments near me’ or use any other relevant keyword to search through online rental listings. But fair warning, these property listing websites are full of false info and even fake properties. So be careful. Otherwise, you’d experience the equivalent of downloading a pirated copy of a new movie only to realize it’s actually a B-grade movie of the same title.

Start talking to your colleagues or batchmates

Break ice and start talking to your colleagues or batchmates. Even before you’ve landed up in the new city. Because whatever flat hunting you’re doing rn, they’ve already been there and done that. So, you never know if they just directly give you the contact number of a vacant flat. Or better, they might just be looking for a flat mate in you. So talk to them, long before those mandatory introductory Google meets start.

Connect with your friends or relatives living in the city

Have you got any friends or friend’s friends living in the city you’re moving to? Or any close relatives? If yes, ask them about potential leads. In case you’re awkward, ask your mum or a close friend to ask them for you. Trust us, you might not be too comfy taking help from practically strangers, but this is how it goes when you switch to the migrant life, you gotta ask for help when you need it.

Take help from social media

You see, there are loads and loads of Facebook groups and WhatsApp communities for rental properties in every city. It’s where you’ll find both renters and landlords themselves put up their vacancies. So, this way, you can get around to find a flat without stumbling into a broker. And hence, save those monies to spend on that new table lamp instead.


Look towards managed accommodation

Sometimes in life, you need an alternative. A new one. One that fundamentally changes how things work, which in this case, is how you find a rental house. And that super alternative is none other than the top managed accommodation companies like Stanza Living. Head to our website for proof. There, you just have to enter the city, your preferred mode of accommodation, your preferred locality and a ton of our properties will show up in the area. Plus, we got a high-res virtual tour for you to get a legit walkthrough of your shortlisted residences right from the comfort of your home. Howzat?

Hire a broker

We don’t wanna advocate for brokers here, especially since there are more alternatives now than ever. But if you’re not able to find an apartment using the above ways, and push comes to shove, try hiring a broker. Sure, that brokerage fee will hurt you a bit, but what to do? You need a bed to sleep for sure. Unless you’re an Imtiaz Ali character who’s happy being a couch surfer.
