A monthly furnished rental is the easiest way to live in Bahria Town without signing a long lease or buying furniture. Here is how it works and what to check.
Typical prices
With TwinCity Appartments, single rooms run Rs 55,000 to Rs 150,000 per month and double rooms Rs 100,000 to Rs 250,000. Full apartments are quoted on request.
Deposit and advance
Expect to pay the first month's rent plus a refundable security deposit. The deposit is returned after a check-out inspection.
Bills
Electricity, gas and water are either included in the rent or tracked through sub-meters. Ask which applies, and if sub-metered, ask for recent average bills so you can budget.
Agreement
Get a short written agreement listing rent, deposit, notice period, included items and house rules. Keep a copy of your CNIC submission.
Inspection checklist

- AC and geyser working

- Wi-Fi speed
- Water pressure
- Kitchen equipment
- Parking space
- Photos of any existing damage
