When you buy a property, the choice of locality is limited to those where properties
are available within your budget. But when you are looking at renting a property, your
canvas is much wider. Since a lessee has the option of seeking property that
matches all his/her requirements, it is always good to make a checklist.
Budget is always a prime consideration. Check your finances and see how much you
can allocate to rent. This should be an amount that you will be able to pay monthon-
month at the same time. Accommodate it within your house rent allowance
package or just a tad over for best results.
Now assess how big your accommodation should be. Remember that you have not
only to take up lodging, but also service it monthly, including the maintenance and
municipal charges which have to be paid by the lessee. The annual property taxes
and asset maintenance are the responsibility of the landlord.
Look that facilities such as public transport, security and daily grocery needs are easily
accessible. They make your stay more comfortable. Transport connectivity with
minimum traffic pressure points makes the daily commute to work less stressful. Look
for a neighbourhood where you have like-minded community so that there is
minimum clash of interests.
