How to Rent a House?

Not everyone can purchase a house whenever they want. Some of us need to move to new cities for jobs, education, business and that's when you need to rent a house. But renting a house is not easy, you need to check all the aspects carefully before deciding which house you want to rent. I have recently rented a house in Bangalore so I will also share with you all the aspects of how to find houses for rent. I will provide the pointers below:

• Set a budget limit

To find rental homes you need to fix your budget first. This is the most important aspect you need to consider before looking for rental homes. Consultants say a house rent should not be more than 25-30% of your salary. I have rented a house in Bangalore for Rs.15,000. It is a BHK apartment and since I live alone I thought 1 BHK is perfect for me because I can maintain a small house rather than a bigger one.

•  Amenities

Check out the amenities available near the property you would like to rent. You definitely don't want to rent a place which is far away from your job location. Find a place where you can easily get all the transport and the place should be close to hospitals, malls, gyms etc. Also, do a background check to see if the locality is safe for you.

•  Avoid brokers

If you are searching for how to rent a house near your job location I would recommend you not to fall into the trap of the brokers. You have to pay hefty charges and you might end up renting a house you don't even like. So, you can check out houses online with the help of platforms like NoBroker for free. I have rented a house from NoBroker at a reasonable price. NoBroker is a genuine platform and they will help you out on every aspect related to renting or purchasing houses.

•  Vetting Rental Properties

After checking out the rental properties online it is crucial to go and check out the renting properties you like. Just by looking at the picture you can't actually decide on renting a place. How's the area around the place? Etc, are details that may be important to check out in person.

•  Rental- Agreement

After deciding which property you want to buy you need to go through the legal formalities related to the rental agreement procedure. Carefully check all the documents related to the rental agreement and also focus on the termination clauses, contract dates, penalties, repair costs, visitor limitation if any, rent renewal and escalation, etc if you want to hire a house. 

How to rent a house at 18?

If you are under the age of 18 you can rent PG. PG’s are budget-friendly and you can also share a room or a flat with your best friend. NoBroker also provides PG which has amenities. Try to look for a PG which provides food along with accommodation. 

These are aspects you should focus on to find houses for rent.
