5 online platforms to help live-in couples find rented homes
These platforms provide hassle-free rented homes to couples, who are looking out to live their lives as they wish.
New Delhi: Couples face many difficulties during house hunting. Owners usually ask for a hefty deposit without any guarantee of giving it back or hike the rent when they find out that the couple is not married.
In this scenario, online home rental networks are a smart choice as they use various technology-driven features.
These platforms have been collecting data points on customers, properties, homeowners, dealers and transaction to help identify suitable locations for rentals and narrow down searches based on varied segments.
