Q: Can you please shed light on some of the facilities and amenities that residents get to enjoy at Zolo Stays’ co-living spaces?
A: Zolo is creating a community-centred environment for our residents that not only provides privacy in living arrangements but also promotes social contact. The curated community fosters inclusivity that enables tenants to meet a variety of other individuals and expand their network. Zoloites can also avail flexible and shorter lease terms, reduced security deposit and zero hassles with housekeeping, payment of utility bills, maintenance, furniture and fixtures, and renewal of lease contracts.
