The condos are basically for sale. Some of the buyers are not able to, or planning to move
into ShantiNiketan for a few years. ShantiNiketan offers a service to rent out these
condos to those who maybe unable to purchase or may just want to rent it and stay here
for a while before deciding to buy.
ShantiNiketan offers a package for rentals as follows:
For $1,000 per month per person (on a 12 month lease), we provide a one bedroom
(in a 2 bedroom condo - so two people will share a 2 bedroom condo, each with their own bedroom
and private bathroom), pay for the condo fees, utilities (upto a certain cost) and FOOD. There
will be no other payments needed from the tenants. For a couple the cost will be $2,000
per month (on a 12 month lease) and they will get the entire 2 bedroom condo along with utilities,
condo fees, and food.
The advantage for the owners is that they get a cashflow until they are ready to move in, and
for the renters their advantage is to live at a reasonable cost in ShantiNiketan without having to
buy them. However, ShantiNiketan DOES NOT guarantee the rentals of the condos and the
owners will be responsible for paying the monthly condo fees, taxes etc.
Many people have asked for short term rentals, for a few days to a few months (specially in winter).
If available we will offer them on short term rentals at 50% above the basic costs. For example,
a couple who wants to rent during the winter month(s) will pay $3,000 per month for two people
($1,500 per person per month)
which will include rent, utilities, condo fees and vegetarian Food. Of course renters should be aware
there is no guarantee that their leases will be renewed once the owners decide to move in. Its
a good option for the short term to experience the life here. Very few units, though, are available for
longer term rentals.
