Have you ever experienced that moment when your landlord just called you up and informed you that you have to move out tomorrow? Well, I know how that would feel as it is your room that we are talking about, not like moving tables from one to another at the mamak stall. It can be very stressful especially when you do not have much time to locate the potential rooms that you are looking for and short listing them according to your budget and location and of course the tenant mix in the house and whether you are comfortable with the house or apartment.

Thank goodness for the internet as it can help you tremendously by keying in a couple of words and “tada” u have potential current and recent rooms to go and visit and start your shortlisting process. Maybe some of you guys may know this, but for those who don’t this might help. What you need to do is get onto google and type the keyword “room to let ss15″ for example and of course a list of results will show which is not a surprise. What you need to do next is to click on the “Show options” button on the top of your results and you will see a list of options on a menu on the left side of the browser. Next thing you need to do is click on “Recent results” and that’s it, you have results of available rooms that have been posted as recent as 1 hour ago. Gone were the days of calling a list of phone numbers and only to be told that the room is not available. Definitely a way to save on your mobile phone calls. Hope this helps, if it does, do shout a comment to me, appreciate it. Happy room hunting !

P/s: This is how it looks, and guess what? this website is on No.1 on Google under recent results.

This is an article I found useful for “to be room renters”. Hope you find it beneficial and please do give me your comments on it. Enjoy!

Finding a place to live and call home can be a stressful experience. Whether your current lease is ending or your current living arrangements just aren’t suitable any longer, finding a proper living arrangement can be difficult. If your budget is restrictive, renting your own place might not be feasible; fortunately, finding rooms to rent is a very affordable – and attractive – alternative. Indeed, thousands of people opt to rent a room and share expenses rather than take on everything alone. Is finding a room appropriate for you? Below, a few key things to keep in mind.

The Savings

The number one reason that people choose to rent a room rather than lease an entire flat or apartment is purely financial. Some just do not want to part with a huge portion of their monthly income in order to have a bed to sleep in; others may prefer to spread the expenses out among others, so that they are not solely responsible for the extraneous costs of renting an entire flat. Regardless of reason, there is no question that renting a room is just about the most affordable living arrangement available today.

When seeking rooms to let for budgetary reasons, make sure that you have developed firm numbers in your mind regarding what you can afford. Be sure to take additional expenses – like utilities – into consideration as well. Be practical in terms of where the room you wish to rent is located; more desirable neighborhoods do come with heftier price tags, even for room rentals.

The Convenience

Another reason why many people opt to let a room is for the sheer convenience of the arrangement. Needing only to be responsible for a single room – as opposed to an entire flat – means saving a lot of time in upkeep and cleaning. Many room renting situations do require renters to pitch in and help out in common areas of the place – like the kitchen or bathrooms – but this is still minor work compared with maintaining an entire flat oneself. Those with very busy schedules – like university students – find that renting a room is a very attractive option for this reason.

The Location and Community

Sometimes, renting a room is the only practical way of living in or near a very desirable neighborhood or area in a city. Flats in very trendy areas, for example, tend to come with very high monthly rents. Whether you wish to rent in a particular neighborhood simply for its popularity – or if you work or need to study there – finding rooms to rent can help make it a real possibility.

Additionally, some people just do not enjoy living alone. Renting an entire apartment to oneself can, indeed, be a lonely experience. For those who want an easy opportunity to socialize, then, renting a room is a great option. It is little wonder that so many houses on campuses around the country are full of young students renting rooms – its partly for convenience, and definitely partly for the chance to be among others their own age. Renting a room provides the chance to be among ones peers.
