So which are some good tips on PG-hunting in Madhapur?

Note ‘em down! 7 top tips to follow while PG-hunting in Madhapur:

• Mind the address
• Check out the average rents, area by area
• Decide if you want a roommate
• Visit the property before moving in
• Check the quality of facilities
• Read the terms of stay and break them down
• Ask for the house rules

Mind the address

Your address does not have to be in the swankiest of localities. Just in the most convenient of them. And convenience is something when you have a grocery market, good commuting options and all the itsy-bitsy things like a stationery shop in the neighbourhood. Plus, the neighbourhood itself should be close to your college. So even if you miss your 10,000 morning alarms, you can still make it your second class, at the least.

Check out the average rents, area by area

Yes, that’s right. You may find a neighbourhood that ticks all the boxes, but if it doesn’t fit under your budget, it’s no good. So in order to avoid wasting your time, check out the average monthly rents, area by area, first. This will help you narrow down your search and directly hit the bullseye on the most convenient locality of them all. Or else, you can go round and round checking out properties with prices that make your eyes bulge out in surprise. Kinda like the expression you make whenever someone asks the question, ‘How’s life?’ out of left field. Lol.

Decide if you want a roommate

Now, here’s a way you can afford the localities you can’t afford on paper. Just find a good roommate, bruh, just find a good roommate. After that, you can split the monthly rent, and even the commuting costs. But hey, we also know finding an ideal roomie is easier said than done. So make sure you start breaking ice with your college mates before you even land up in the city. They might just be a fellow potterhead you can gel with. That is, if you’re a potterhead too.

Visit the property before moving in

Never make the mistake of booking a PG before moving to Hyderabad without visiting it in person at least once. Because assuming a property listing and its set of photos are 100 percent legit is like assuming the ‘30% extra’ on a packet of chips is, in fact, 30% extra. So…

Check the quality of facilities

While you’re making a property visit, make sure you don’t check the space just on a surface level. In fact, get your hands dirty (if needed) to check the cupboards, the kitchen cabinets, all the water taps and etcetera, etcetera. Trust us, most first-time renters forget that you can always get a newly finished house instead of an old one at a relatively similar price. So if a property is not brand new, be sure to understand how close it comes to brand new. That’s about it.

Read the terms of stay and break them down

If you wanna commit the sin of not reading or scrutinizing the rental agreement, go ahead. But you won’t be able to complain later. Both literally and legally. And we sound so serious because it’s weird how so many first-time renters forget or simply ignore this entire part out. Because anybody who’s been living as a migrant in other cities for a long period of time will tell you this. That checking the terms of stay is as important as filling up the OMR sheet in your board exams Remember that? *sigh*

Ask for the house rules

Mah life, mah rules? Well, not so much when you’re living on rent and not at your folks’ place. So even though you have to live with certain rules and regulations of the accommodation you’re staying at, make sure they’re reasonable enough. For example, having a curfew timing of 8 PM basically means you miss out on the best bits of your off-campus life. So there’s that.
