Chandigarh is one of the prime cities in North India where new jobs are coming up at a fast pace. People from nearby areas flock to Chandigarh in search of employment. The city has gradually started attracting big IT companies. Infosys is one of the major IT corporates that have a very big set up in Chandigarh. This gives rise to the demand for affordable rental housing options. So here are the most affordable localities to rent in Chandigarh where you can find cheap housing options-

Zirakpur Dhakoli

Zirakpur Dhakoli is one of the developing areas near Chandigarh where a number of colonies have come that offers very affordable housing options within Rs 8,000 for a 2BHK and One-Room Kitchen Set within Rs 5,000. Since it lies in the outer region of Chandigarh, the property prices are low.

Panchkula

Sector 1, 2, 11, 16, 20 are some of the most affordable sectors of Panchkula where 1RK, 2BHK flats are available within Rs 10,000 per month. The reason behind affordable property prices is the semi-developed infrastructure. Though the connectivity to the main city of Chandigarh is fine, it lacks the kind of lifestyle that Chandigarh offers.

Sector 45, Chandigarh

Sector 45 in Chandigarh is one of the best locations to stay if you want to live in the city. It is affordable and has a number of options in apartment style as well as in Kothi style. A 3BHK here will be available within Rs 15,000 per month. You can get the smaller variant for Rs 12,000 as well.

Mohali Phase 9, 10, 11

If you wish to stay away from the hustle and bustle of the city, Mohali is the best place you can be. Mohali Phase 9, 10, 11 have a number of residential options that would be in your budget. Mohali Phase 9 is also famous for international cricket and hockey stadium as well as the Sports Complex. A 2BHK will be available here within Rs 10,000. You can bargain with the landlord for a lower price as the asking value of these three phases is little high due to better infrastructure.

VIP Road

Ambala Chandigarh Expressway gets cut into VIP Road near Junkyard Cafe, Zirakpur. This particular stretch is home to several new residential colonies where construction companies have come up with their massive township projects. This is the reason, apartments here are available at very cheap prices. You can rent a semi furnished 2BHK for Rs 10,000 per month or even lesser if you are good at bargaining.

In the latest move against coaching centres that act as a deterrent for children going to school, UT deputy commissioner Ajit Balaji Joshi has issued directions that no private coaching centre in the city would remain open from 8 am to 3 pm. The notification released by the administration also said that teachers of several government and private schools are involved in the coaching business. The order would come into force from July 1 to August 29.

“These coaching centres are involved in the business of giving tuition to schoolchildren and their tuition timings clash with the school time, which act as a deterrent for children going to school,” said Joshi.

Following these inputs, the UT Deputy Commissioner, by exercising the powers vested under Section 144 of CrPC, directed that all the private coaching centres within the jurisdiction of Chandigarh shall not render coaching to school going children from the specified timing in public interest for a period of 60 days. Those students who have already appeared in final exams or passed out from schools are exempted.

While it is evident that the decision will prevent children from attending classes at private coaching centres but it would be hard for the administration to keep tabs on private coaching centres. In the past, too, similar orders were issued but the management failed to keep a check on malpractices.

Not leaving enough space for parking your car in your new home may shatter your dream of big home in Chandigarh. The Chandigarh administration has stopped approving revised building plans of houses not having the required parking space. This is in wake of rising shortage of parking spaces in residential areas.

Interestingly, Chandigarh has the highest density of vehicles in the county, with around 12 lakh registered vehicles, both two-wheelers and four-wheelers. This means every household in Chandigarh owns two vehicles at least.

According to building regulations of Chandigarh, for every 100 square metre, the owner has to leave parking space for one car. That means, for a 1 kanal plot, there is a need of parking space for six cars. (1 kannal = 5400 sq ft)

Residents have been crying foul and call the move impractical. The advisory committee has stopped approving the building maps in which the parking space has not been marked. As per the planning of kanal houses, there are four components -front courtyard, rear courtyard, main building, annexe with driveway up to main entry gate.

According to the architects, displacement of annexe portion and converting the green area of the rear courtyard into car parking is one solution, however, it will defeat the concept of green area in kanal houses. Another solution is to have stilt parking on the ground floor but it is possible only if the administration allows additional floor and increase in height of the building.

Due to the shortage of space, residents have encroached upon government land by raising the temporary roof in front courtyard for parking vehicles. Moreover, residents park their vehicles on both sides of internal roads of sectors, leading to chaos.
