People in India usually migrate from one place to another in search of better education, employment opportunities and a better life altogether. Not everyone who shifts immediately has the capability of owning a property on their names. Many students, freshers and migrants are in search of a rented space.
Student housing is largely an unorganized and fragmented sector. Real estate consultancy firm Anarock Property Consultants says of the 37 million students pursuing higher education in India, more than 75% live away from home. Existing hostel facilities can accommodate only 18%-20% of this migrant student population.
students are not only ones who lives with roommate. working professionals also prefers to live with roommate to reduce financial burden.
Why do some people prefer living with a roommate?
Considering today’s economy, high rent, stagnant, low- wages, loneliness, sharing utilities, the security of having another person living with you to watch over your items when you go on a holiday and they remain working during that time so there would always be one person living in the apartment or dwelling making sure it looked ‘lived-in’ at all times and the companionship if the person turns out to also become a friend are good reasons people prefer living with a roommate.
