What are the Benefits of Renting a House or Room Alone?

by Mahesh DS Real Estate Developer

Studying away from home or planning to work in a city away from your native place? The first thing that comes to mind is where to reside? If you are new to moving into a city, you will obviously stay in a room or house on rent. Now, what you will be confused about it whether you will be living alone or sharing the space with roommates. If you can afford the rent, utility bills and manage everything else on your own, it is best to stay alone. Certainly, it gets easier to share the bills and rent, and becomes fun living together but, there are other benefits of living alone. Take a look.

Managing tasks

You have daily tasks to do - cleaning the house, washing the utensils, doing the laundry, etc. You may divide the chores amongst yourselves but, it still wouldn't be easy. You will have to complete the tasks regularly in a set time frame for everybody's convenience. When you live alone, you have to do all the work alone but, you can do it at your convenience. You might be lazy or tired or not in the mood to work - simply quit the chores for the day, without anyone having to bother you.

Differences in interests

When living together, each one of you might be having different tastes and interests. Consider the food - one of you may like spicy tangy tastes, the other one may like mild Indian tastes, while the other may like continental food. Managing between the cuisines is a tough job. Not only cuisine, consider every tiny thing you do. One may like loud hardcore music while the other may like soft humming tunes. One may want to watch the TV while at the same time; the other may want to sleep. Isn't it better you live alone and do what you like?

Control over bills

When staying together, there are instances when the bill amounts rise high up - may it be the light, water or internet. Who do you blame then for misusing the appliances? You very well know that you haven't overused the appliances but, you still cannot fight over the use of lights, geysers, airconditions, internet or water. While, when you live alone, you know that you are paying for what you use. If then you find the bills rising up, you can have complete control over them.

Responsibility level

The biggest drawback of living alone is that you have to pay the rent all by yourself. But, try to take this on a positive note. Paying a heavier rent will let you realize the value of money, and you will make efforts to save more and earn better if you are working. This will only make you a responsible person.

Comfort level

Coming home from work or college, you want a place that welcomes you and makes you feel at home. The decor and ambience of you room makes a huge difference. When people are living together, you have to gel with everyone's tastes - one may be from the South, the other from the North and you from the West. What would you do then? You have no option other than combining the tastes. But, if you live alone, you have the liberty to design your room just the way you want it. You choose to have your room the way you want it to welcome you after the busy day.

Social life

If you live with your roommates, you might find great friends in them and would rely on them in times of both - worry and fun. You will not consider moving out of this friendly zone to interact much with others around. While, if you live alone, you will need someone to talk to and be with. This will compel you to socially interact with different people, which will boost your confidence level.

 

Now that you know quite a lot about renting a room with roommates or without, it is for you to decide how you would like to reside. After all, it is a personal choice.
