Chances are you had your eighteenth birthday recently, and have gotten anxious about moving out. Well, this event, among many others, is a life-changing decision in your life. You have to start thinking about having a place of your own, focus on your culinary skills, decide on what kind of life you are dreaming of, and so on.

In short, welcome to adulting!

Apart from young Gen Z’s, there are also a wide variety of people looking for renting out. As real estate value shows no signs of dropping prices, renting flats comes cheap, and with a bit of thorough searching, you can land up with a pleasant landlord who understands all your concerns.

Once you have sorted out whether you want to buy an apartment or rent it, the questions take a different turn. I will be talking about 5 must-know tips on renting out. Also, looking at things from the landlord’s perspective, this piece will help all parties find more amicable participants!

In metropolitan cities, the floating mass of people looking for work is again increasing. The demand for secure guestrooms and modern rented homes witness a surge. You can surf this ride the best if you know what you are looking for!


1. First thought for the bachelors

With all our work lives changing dramatically, we have to learn to combine the two spaces which were demarcated till now. Already we have adapted to the workspace-bedroom arrangement, which is why studio apartments are the most cost-effective option for bachelors. There are millions of DIY pieces on how to arrange your room in accordance with the current changing conditions of the world.


2. Thrift living!

Think of it this way: when you move in and have the basics arranged, you won’t start imagining what you need. Rather, you can take a note of what’s missing in real-time when you need something and don’t find it.

After jotting down things for a week like this, go and buy all of them at once! This will help you have better control over your expense.


3. Think and pause before buying!

The adrenaline rush of moving in will always seduce you into buying a lot more than you actually end up needing. Much like the board in the picture is made from cardboard pieces lying around the house, and so are the multicolour highlighters!

4. What is the light arrangement?

One of the most important success factors of a flat is its natural light setting. If there is a bright splash of sunlight anywhere within the space, the adding glamour is simply marvellous! Prices also go up for renting such places, but I believe natural light is an element worth bargaining for in your apartment.

You can play around with the sunlight and decorate the room/s in ways that resonate with it.


5. What are the security options?

As you will be living alone, it is important to consider how much time you spend outside and decide on the security options accordingly.  

You will find more ideas on subletting your home here.

One parting note: studio apartments often come with a separate small room that acts as storage. Try to look for such spaces with an adjoining storeroom. It does wonders as a personal hide-out if you are a high sensory-sensitive person like me. :)
