How to rent a flat in Jaipur as a student?

Finding a flat in Jaipur or any tier 2 city in India might be difficult for students and young employees. Landlords generally avoid renting out their property to a bachelor because of their stereotypical perception about them. They think that students are very careless fellows who lead an undisciplined life. So, their late-night partying attitude and their carefree lifestyle might become a reason for trouble in the future. Plus, there is a common bias about students that they remain so busy that they might not have the time to clean their house.

Landlords do not want to lease out their residential property to students. If a few landlords agree upon this, they charge a higher rent. Being a student, you need not get entrapped into paying higher rent. By making a little change to the way you search a flat, you can easily find a rental property in Jaipur. Here are a few tips in this regard.


1) Know your requirements

Before starting the house search, you should research the market rate, the preferred area, and enlist your requirements. At this stage, you should also figure out your budget and the amount of money that you are comfortable paying for the transportation cost and other miscellaneous expenditures.

2) Search online and inspect the properties

Online real estate portals provide an open platform to find suitable properties in your budget. Once you have shortlisted the properties, schedule a home inspection. While visiting the properties, check every detail, right from the quality of construction, thermal insulation to soundproofing.

3) Negotiate the rent

Knowing the fact that you are a student, the landlord might ask you for a higher rent. But you should not agree upon this, rather negotiate the rent down. Emphasize that you will prove to be an ideal tenant. While negotiating talk politely and keep your cool.

4) Make a background check

By renting a flat, you won't be living in isolation. Rather, your life will be affected by the landlord and other tenants in the house and neighbours. So, try to find out in advance whether you will be living with decent people. The best way to get such information is to ask about this to the shopkeepers and newspaper hawkers of the area.

5) Get a copy of the rental agreement

Well, a copy of the rental agreement will serve as a proof of your local address and will be helpful in updating the Aadhar card. Plus, with all the clauses of renting mentioned in a stamp paper, you can exercise your rights as a tenant. Therefore, you should read the agreement paper well before signing it.

Conclusion- With the above-mentioned tips in hand, you can easily find a rental flat in Jaipur. Once you have found a suitable property, obtain the rental agreement before moving in. And, make sure that you move in the presence of the landlord. If you are renting a furnished or semi-furnished flat, then make sure that you recheck the fixtures in his presence, and click the pictures of all the appliances. Also, take the electricity metre reading on the same date.

Last but not least, beware of the frauds in the rental market because they generally target students thinking that they are quite gullible. If needed, take help from a real estate property searching company.
