How to Find a Room for Rent ?

Finding a room for rent can be challenging but it will be easier if you list down your expectations and requirements from a room or a house. These factors include whether you want to rent an apartment or a PG, if you’re looking for a temporary rental solution (months/weeks) or something permanent. Considering all these factors, I can give you some tips on how to search room for rent. 

How Can I Find a Room For Rent?

Let me tell you how I found a rented apartment in Bangalore. I used social media mostly, and apps like

and Stanza Living. In these apps, you get to filter out the options like sharing type, pricing, location, and so on. If you are looking for PG rooms, then also you can consider the following apps

However, there are a few more factors that you should consider when you are moving into a rental place.

1. Safety - This should be your top priority when you are looking for a rental room or apartment. This includes determining the kind of location and neighbourhood this room is. Also, check for safety features like CCTV cameras, fire extinguishers, smoke detectors, etc.

2. Roommate - If you are sharing the room with someone or looking for a shared room, then it’s important to know the other person and understand whether you’re compatible enough to adjust together. You can just have an open conversation with them about their expectations and habits, so you can figure out better. 

3. Affordability - Cost-effectiveness is another factor that plays a crucial role in finding a suitable accommodation. You should compare and analyse different places and rooms before rushing to make a final decision.

How to find a room for rent?

• You should ask the landlord what the exact rent is. You should always confirm this. Ask about other fees such as security deposit, pet deposit, pet rent, etc.

• Ask about the utility bills you will be paying. Since you will be living with your roommates or flatmates, you should ask how these utility bills are divided among each other.

• You should also learn how long your roommates will be staying in the room and how long you will have the room to yourself. 

• Ask if the house would be cleaned by maintenance people every day. Also, you should ask your flatmates how they keep things clean. It will give you a heads up on whether or not to choose this property to rent.

• Last but not least you should ask if your roommates smoke. If they do and you have health issues you should definitely look for some other place. 

• If you are veg then you should not be hesitant to ask if your flatmates are veg. It can be hard to live with people who consume non-veg if you are veg.

These are a few questions one should think about if they are wondering how to find a room for rent in Delhi. I hope you find this informative.
