An independent house gives you privacy, your own entrance and roof rights, which is why families prefer it over a portion when the budget allows. Demand is strongest in Korangi, Gulistan-e-Johar, North Karachi and Gulshan, and a house for rent in Karachi at low price does come up regularly, with smaller houses starting around 8000 a month in the more affordable areas. Rent depends mainly on the number of bedrooms, the yard size and how new the construction is. Before signing, confirm the advance, whether the water supply is a bore or tanker, and whether the electricity meter is separate.
