Renting a Home in Harare

Renting a home in Harare

When one first sets out on a journey to “independence”, a journey to “self-determination” as it were, it’s an experience like no other. The first thought that comes to mind is that finally I leave home, I leave the parental “targeted sanctions” that had been over my head for as long as I can remember.

The mere thought of coming home at one’s own time, setting one’s own rules and keeping the company of one’s choice is the stuff that sweet dreams are made of. One just can’t wait to say goodbye home of birth and hello world.

This journey is one that all humans in any shape and form, do eventually take. With the joy of living by one’s self however, many pitfalls lie in store. Among these are the reality that one can never really escape “sanctions” as it were, as rules seem to follow one where ever one goes. There is hardly any place to be found without rules on this green planet we call earth.

The new parent with rules is the landlord and some can be quite a package to deal with. You will find a landlord who is merely a replica of your parent, treating you like their own offspring. That’s when you realise that indeed you can’t escape rules in this life. You do find some that are mean and cause all sorts of headaches and anxiety, while others are downright cruel, with stringent rules, bad attitudes and all other unpleasant “qualities” that make your stay unpleasant and make you think of home. Blessed is he (or she) that finds a good landlord.

Many other pitfalls include unrestricted friendships and acquaintances which can be a drain on energy and resources. Once you strike out on your own, you must have rules around your home that will guide the conduct of your friends and acquaintances whenever they visit your new habitat. There you go, rules again, but this time yours!

Finding a new home can be a nightmare, as the demand for housing is very high especially in the capital city of Harare. Add to that, the ever depreciating currency which causes a constant switch in rentals by landlords as they seek to keep pace with inflation; that is if one is lucky enough to find a rare landlord who charges rentals in local Zim dollar currency, as many home owners prefer the USD, which is a stable currency & store of value. It is prudent to note of course that by law, it is now illegal to charge rentals in any currency other than the bond note/rtgs local currency.
