Planning to study in one of the educational institutions in Navi Mumbai? Excellent choice! It’s always a good idea to prepare ahead of time, especially when it comes to finding an ideal place to stay. It might be your first time living in Navi Mumbai, so the best place to start is with safe and comfortable student accommodation. There are loads of options – from Pg in Kharghar or hostels in Kharghar or even your own rental flat.If you’re new to looking for the best student housing accommodations in and around Kharghar, don’t worry — we’re here to help. Here are a few core factors to consider when finding a student accommodation that is perfect for you!
1. Location
The last thing you’d want is to have to spend hours travelling to college each day. Sure, housing further out in neighboring suburbs might be more affordable, but in the long run, living closer to your college will provide unbeatable convenience and save your precious time. Walking home for a nap in between lectures, anyone?
You’ll also want to factor in the apartment’s proximity to supermarkets, eateries, places to chill on weekends and, perhaps most importantly — is the place in a quiet neighborhood?
2. Your Budget
It helps if you have a budget range in mind to narrow down your search results. For a good stay experience consider having a budget from INR 10,000 – INR 15,000 per month for twin sharing accommodations. If you’re working with a smaller budget, you can consider triple sharing options or opt for an okay-ish PG but the experience might not be that great.
3. Room Furnishings & Amenities
If you have to buy furniture and appliances for your apartment, you might end up going over budget. After all, you’re only going to be using these items for a few years. Your best bet is to look for student accommodation players that provide fully furnished stay options with everything you need. We’re talking about a comfy bed, study table and chair, ample storage, as well as a fridge, microwave, gas and toilet – and yes and Air Conditioner is a MUST! Given the soaring temperature, you will surely need one!
While it would be nice to view the place in person before deciding, you might need to secure accommodation even before arriving to Navi Mumbai. In that case, you could visit the websites of some of the established players in Kharghar such as Cozydorms &Nestaway, and check for any pics to get a better idea of what you’ll be getting.
4. Lease Agreement
Your lease agreement is a legally binding contract, so it is important to read carefully and understand all of its terms before signing. Here are a few key things to double-check:
•Term of the tenancy (fixed or flexible lease terms). Ideally go for flexible stay options
•Rent amount, including payment methods and due dates
•Security deposit and other fees (utilities, internet etc.). Go for accommodation providers that have minimal security deposit. Cozydorms offer flexible stays from 3-12 months and have a minimal pocket-friendly security deposit.
•Tenant & landlord’s responsibilities for repairs and maintenance
5. Accommodation Type– PG or Hostel or rental apartment
Mumbai and Navi Mumbai are notorious when it comes to leasing apartments. First of all most housing societies do not allow students as tenants and even if they do – there are usually many complaints raised by neighbors. Even if you do manage to get a place, the high brokerage charged & security deposit and unfurnished state of the property will surely put you off. For peace of mind and to save some money – avoid going to brokers or renting a place by your own.
Fortunately, there are many student colocation companies and PG in Kharghar that do a great job in providing fully furnished shared accommodations such as Nestaway, Cozydorms etc
