7 things to consider before choosing a rent-house

It's a headache, tedious and hectic job to search for a rent-house for you or your family. If you are lucky enough to find an apartment, other things may bother you. Sometimes your budget may exceed. At times location and environment don't suit your demand. There are also some issues in the house that you can't ignore. However, it would be best if you found a rent-house within a short time as you are busy or tenant in another rent-house. It will be a much more troublesome job if you are looking for a rent-house for the first time. Worry not, remember these essential tips below, and you are on your way to choose a beautiful and perfect rent-house that fits your taste.

 

Choose your preferred area according to your budget

First thing first, you should always choose your preferred area according to your budget. Not to mention, your workplace is another crucial factor in selecting the residing area. Let's assume, your office is in Uttara, you are married, and your salary is 20 K. What should you do now? Let's prioritize your need. You have to choose a rent-house which is less costly, including the bills because you have other expenses. You need to buy food to eat, pay the bus-rickshaw fare to go to the office, pocket money, doctor's fee or medicine cost, and other necessary things within this salary. So, you better choose a less expensive area like Abdullahpur or Tongi if you want a hassle-free environment. However, you can search for a one-room apartment near your office to reduce the house rent and transportation cost. 

Search/ Research rent-house online

It is a real pain to search for a good rent-house by walking. It will cost you more money and energy. You can easily skip this pain with an online search. Some property/house rent websites can loosen your burden. You can search by the area, price, size of the apartment, amenities, and the number of the bedroom or bathroom. Generally, one or more images are attached to the rent advertise. You can see the condition of the apartment. You can contact the person or house owner and ask for further details. You can narrow down your list too, by searching online. It is the smartest and easy way.  

Consider Bazaar, Hospital & Bus-stop near to the house

Other than residing in a budget rent-house, you have additional needs as well. You need to go to a Bazaar at least once a week. It will be a smart decision to choose the house near a Bazaar. If your home is a bit far from your office, you need to use the bus-stop regularly. So, you should choose a house adjacent to the bus-stop. Do not skip the Mosque/Mandir/Church as you have to pray. You must need a hospital in emergencies. Moreover, you will feel relaxed psychologically if you live near a hospital.

Learn about the drainage and water management system of the area

The next important thing is learning about the drainage and water management of that particular area. It may seem less important, but learning the facts will save you from suffering in the rainy season. Lousy drainage and water management of that area can cause costly transportation in the rainy season. If you want to pass the half knee level water and the distance is 10 Taka rickshaw fare, it may cost up to 100 Taka depending on the scenario. You cannot go out easily in that season. Sometimes you may get infected by waterborne diseases. So, you should think carefully regarding the matter although the rent is comparably less in that area.

Society environment, neighbor & house owner is important

There is a wise saying that 'If you found a good neighbor, you found a nice place.' It is equally or more important than finding a well-decorated house. You must check the social environment as well. Choose a hassle-free environment. It will decrease the chances of changing your rent-house frequently throughout the year. You can save both your time and money in that case. You might want to learn about the house owner as sometimes it is truly a pain. If these things are okay, you can go for the final deal after seeing the apartment condition.

 

Look at the apartment's condition & water-gas supply

Now it is time to see the real picture of the apartment without the make-up or Photoshop! No kidding, you may not find the apartment as you saw at the image of the house rent advertise. It is our human nature to hide the ugly self. However, you can tell the house owner to repair/paint/replace the faulty parts of the apartment. It is a normal thing, and maximum of the house owners fix the broken electric, bathroom, or kitchen wares. Gas and water supply may vary depending on what city or area you want to live. Just talk to other tenants of the house. They are always happy to share these types of issues!

Negotiate if possible!

The last but not in the list thing is to negotiate with the house owner. If you think he/she is asking a high price depending on the apartment condition or area rate, you can negotiate. However, it would be best if you do not propose an unacceptable offer. If you are not happy with the proposition, take some time from the house owner. You can also request the owner to rethink about the rent and let you know.
