1. Location & security

This is the first thing to consider when renting a room. To get a good room, you should not stay in a place with too many complicated elements such as markets, bus stations, etc., but also should not be too deserted like the boarding houses in vacant lots. You should choose a room location 100-300 meters away from schools and markets .

The landlord has a big impact on the security of the rental area. Therefore, when renting, you also need to learn more about the landlord. You should also ask for information from the current tenants or the surrounding people about the security of the rental room in the area you intend to rent.

2. Travel

Note whether the bus routes around are convenient. In fact, everyone wants to have a location near school or work, but not necessarily too close . Because the closer, the area, electricity, water, etc. are also pushed up in price, so they are very high. Many people have a preference for renting a room far away. That not only wastes travel costs, but also takes a lot of your time.
Let's do the math: if it takes 5km to go to school or work every day, we will have to go 10km/day, 300km/month and waste 40 minutes/day. The fuel consumption standard for motorbikes in urban areas is about 5 liters/100km (going at slow speed in urban areas). So every month you will have to fill up at least 15 liters of gasoline to go to school at a cost of 19,200 VND (gasoline prices are increasing). So every month you have to spend nearly 300 thousand (not including vehicle depreciation and you don't just go to school). 40 minutes/day => 20 hours/month (working hours). So every month you lose 3 working days!

3. Quality of accommodation

Consider carefully to ensure that the electricity, water, equipment, tiled walls, etc. work well and are safe after renting. Don't be too greedy about the area of the room, because this will make it difficult for you to consider, the land price and construction price are too expensive, so usually when building a house, investors have already calculated. But you should see if the auxiliary items are good or not, if they are close or not. Support services are also very important such as dining areas, parks, refreshments, internet, wifi... - Ask the landlord to clean the room before you move in because that is your right.

4. Price

For students or workers, price is a big problem. The price of a room varies from district to district, so you must determine the location to rent a room that suits your situation. In case you feel the price is too high compared to your ability, think about finding a roommate. Sharing a room will significantly reduce costs for each person, and you will have close friends to share and help each other in difficult times. You should not find a stranger to share a room with to avoid being cheated. Rental contract : You should carefully learn about the rental contract (by searching on google with the keyword "rental contract"), to avoid problems arising during the rental process, you should ask your brother or sister or someone with experience to go with you to help you.

5. How to find a room

There are many options for you to choose from: go directly , find information online , through a broker ( with a broker, you should carefully research whether the partner is reputable or not, and whether there is any guarantee - thanks to that, you will be very convenient and rent a good room according to your criteria. You should agree on the service fee with the broker in advance ). Currently, the way to find a room online is used by many people and is much more effective with the advantage of not taking as much effort and cost as when looking for a room directly, there is more room information and more competition, so it is easier to rent a room at a cheaper price.

The above are experiences accumulated from reality, hopefully it will help you new students , students will find a satisfactory room, ensure security and be a place to bond, keep beautiful memories throughout the student life ahead.
