According to the report, most tenants like semi-furnished (53%) apartments in multistory (69%) buildings.

Magicbricks CEO Sudhir Pai told the media that with a milder than anticipated Covid-19 third wave and extensive vaccination drives, many offices had launched hybrid working plans from the start of this year. They began by bringing employees back to the office at least two to three times a week. As a result, many employees returned to the metros from their hometowns, and the rental housing market witnessed a sharp demand recovery in Q1 of the year.

Further, with educational institutions also opening up, many families and college/university students also began returning to the metros. This trend will continue for the next few quarters as offices move towards more increased occupancies and operations, directing to an improved rental housing market as well, He said.

The pan India rental rates rose 4% quarter-on-quarter, alluding to progress in the rental housing market of India.

About 37% of tenants in key cities prefer properties within the rental cost of Rs 10,000 - Rs 20,000 per month, followed by 23% for Rs 20,000 – Rs 30,000 per month, with 40% of the rental supply within the cost range of Rs 10,000 - Rs 20,000 per month.
