Don’t I just love this time of the year.
When I’m running helter-skelter trying to find that perfect place for the next 11 months of my life.
A sample from our conversations (one-sided) discussing the flats I’ve seen over the last couple of days.
Me: I liked that 7th floor place with a terrace. But what if Kit Kit decides she wants to emulate Anju George and takes a leap?
or
Me: I like that place on the ground floor. The walls are so clean. The floors are so cool. But it’s on the ground floor. Not safe for Kit Kit, no?
or
Me: That third floor place was quite nice. Very big. I looooved the kitchen. And there’s ample space for Kit Kit to play around. I don’t think she’ll get bored, no?
or
Me: Kit Kit would love looking out of the window of this place. See… see. Isn’t the view rather cool? We can place her basket here…
Oh my gawd. Whatever happened to the other two people who will be living in these places, I think?!
On a sidenote, we are really house hunting. I like the current suburb we’re living in. It’s far, I know. But since we don’t go into town much, these suburbs are quite okay for us. It’s green. It’s rather quiet. It’s rather cosmpolitan. It’s clean. And of course, most importantly. It’s affordable.
On a sidier (?!) note, I still have not figured out why brokers here take two months rent for finding a place for you. One month, I can understand. But two? It irks me. A lot.

BTW, who is he/she/it?
Hope you get a house of your choice & as per Kit Kit’s convenience sooon…

Honestly, kit kit should not have a problem with heights, in fact it is kinda safer where dogs cannot reach.
Two months rent in advance is very normal in Delhi. Umm.. I do not know if you mean one month advance for the broker and one month advance with the house owner, but I have done it before here.
The shifting is the real pain. Esp as time goes on and you keep adding more and more stuff. Scares the life out of me!

Hey Anita! Thanks for visitng my blog! Putu is a male cat! I’ve always loved the fat, fluffy male variety :) Why is your “KitKit” so slim? What do you feed it?
I totally understand your concerns for KitKit! I think all cat owners want the best for their kitties :) Putu has his own bathroom! I think Cats enjoy ground floor flats cos they enter n exit as they please but I wouldn’t go for them for other reasons!

Hi,i can provide you some contact details of brokers in Kandivli W, if it helps.

good luck!
Two months rent huh? Now, value of information seems to have hit the roof! If you have time, disintermediate them and try classifieds - I did that the last time I changed house. It took me 3 months to find a place but I got the best deal - around 20% less than market val and saved mediation expenses too…

And Arun says he is lazy….
I rest my case my Lord..
September 19th, 2003 at 12:32 pm
LL: Kit Kit is my cat :)
Codey: Shifting is a pain. I totally agree. I think this is the 5th time I am doing it in 6 years. :( The two months worth goes to the broker. For all the pains he goes through! I’ve heard of some people paying one month, but you’ve got to be lucky. Or patient, like Arun!
Monish: First of all, Kit Kit’s a girl, so she kind of likes to keep herself slim! I feed her cat food, but she’s extremely fussy and moody.
Vibhendu: Do mail it across. Will be much obliged.
Arun: I guess one has to have loads of patience to go through that process. Plus, I’ve noticed even owners don’t like dealing directly with the renters. I think they want to avoid any hassles so they give it to a broker. And since they don’t have to pay anything, it doesn’t hurt them at all.

But why 11 months? Cant you rent some place for longer? Are the laws different in Mumbai?
September 19th, 2003 at 11:18 pm
I am out of touch of the renting scene in Bombay. Do you have to keep moving every 11 months. That is a pain..
September 20th, 2003 at 6:02 pm
Melodrama/Shakechilli: Most people go in for 11 month rental agreements here in Mumbai as far as I know. It can be extended in most cases.

Lol. I can totally identify with you. My cat influences so many of my decisions.
There was a time that I didn’t want to go on a holiday because I didn’t want to leave my cat at the Cattery because I was afraid that they wouldn’t feed it properly (Devil always looks like he has lost weight when he comes back from the Cattery) :D :)

I was nice to the women asking for advice on marriage annulment. But,
please, no more. Just because a lawyer blogs about her opinions doesn’t
mean she is offering legal advice for free. Enough.
To the person asking for a logo of the KNP… does it look like I am
supporting KNP? Hello? Read my posts before making such a ridiculous
request.
