Unlock stories: with a 50 per cent rent, storage spaces are a win-win for both tenants and landlords-gurugram.
Total rent, salary deductions, job insecurity – a difficult time! So how do you survive in such difficult circumstances? The young professionals found a way to bring their belongings to the camp for a month or two until they returned from their hometown.
Social media appointments are made by professionals who offer to store other people’s belongings for 50% or less in their rented premises. Anish Bakshi, who posted on Facebook about one of these safes in Gurughram, said the idea is to help people who are forced to pay the full rent for their room in Gurugram, even if they don’t live here anymore, because most organizations give work from home (either as an option or as a mandate). We offer storage space in our apartments. I usually received requests from single people who wanted to move to their place of residence or who had already moved.
Anamika Manhas, 22, marketing manager at Gurughram, shares her experiences, she says: I could not move to a new house and there was a lot of pressure from the family to return to my hometown Jammu. I flew in two days before closing time. I’ve been here for three months, all my stuff is in the rented apartment, and the notice period has expired as well. I wasn’t physically able to come to change, do the dishes, and so on. So when I heard about this service, I knew it was very useful. I’ve paid about ₹4,000 a month and all my stuff is safe.
The people outside Delhi are waiting for their turn to undergo a heat test before returning to the Ambedkar stadium.

For Varun Kataria, owner of the apartments and the PG in Delhi-NCR, the warehouse was a means of maintaining it at the time. This owner says that Joe Log Maharashtra, UP se hain wohs time Gurugram aana safe near Samajh rahe … People who rent NCR in Delhi have approached me from all over the country, including Mumbai, UP and even South India. We sent the seller to pick up his luggage and then confirmed each item on the checklist with the owner. After all these tests, we sent the video to the owner of WhatsApp for confirmation.
Aditya Kaushal, 32 years old, an MPC fraud investigator in Gurugram, says that I had travelled before and that I had been in Jammu with my family since March and could not return to Gurughram because of the blockade. The rent is enormous if I don’t use the room, but still have to pay the rent. My stuff was in the house (fridge, washing machine, etc.). Initially we had a conversation with the landlord about a reduction in the rent that I would have to pay, but the landlords did not agree to a reduction in the rent. The only other option is to find a camp and bring our stuff there. I asked the moving and packing companies for help, and a friend helped me, too. And now that the landlord saw us go, he thought he had lost a regular income, so he offered to cut the rent by 40% until we got back!
It’s about equal opportunities for all. There are people like us who don’t want to spend something like ₹30.000 as a monthly rent if they don’t even live in these places. – Kovid Ummat, an advertising professional.
Anyone renting storage space ensures that all essential information is shared well in advance of space allocation. Kovid Ummat, an advertising expert who rents two rooms as storage, said security is also a concern. We guarantee that the other party and I will provide all details in advance. Somewhere out of our own misery came when one of my roommates went to Agra for solitary confinement. And when we got home, we realized we didn’t know when the WFH would end. The rent could have been completely avoided at the time. So we thought about taking our stuff out and bringing it to camp, and we found out there wasn’t that much. This allowed us to open two rooms for the people who needed this place. It’s about equal opportunities for all. There are people like us who don’t want to spend something like ₹30.000 as a monthly rent if they don’t even live in these places.
