1. Photo aur reality ka gap
WhatsApp pe bheji gayi photos kabhi-kabhi 3 saal purani hoti hain. Hamesha personally visit karo, ya video call pe live walkthrough maango.
2. Security deposit > 2 mahine rent
Genuine PG owners 1-2 mahine deposit lete hain. 3 mahine ya zyada maange toh negotiation karo ya aage badho.
3. 'Food included' ka catch
Pucho, kitne meals, weekend included hai ya nahi, menu rotate hota hai ya nahi. 'Unlimited' ka matlab kabhi-kabhi 'sirf roti-dal' hota hai.
4. Owner ya broker?
Direct owner se baat karo. Broker ka commission 1 mahine ka rent hota hai, agar yeh seller mention nahi karta, baad mein surprise milega.
5. Bathroom & water timing
Shared bathroom ratio (1:4 max acceptable), 24-hour water, aur geyser working, yeh basics confirm karo.
6. Wi-Fi speed ka proof maango
On-site visit pe speed test karo. 'High-speed Wi-Fi' ka matlab kabhi-kabhi 5 Mbps shared between 30 log hota hai.
7. Late-entry rules
Working professional ho toh entry timing flexibility critical hai. Strict 10pm curfew hai toh likhwa lo, baad mein argument na ho.
8. Recent reviews aur Google Maps mein dekho
Naam ke saath 'PG' search karo Google Maps pe. 30 din ke andar 3+ negative reviews red flag hai.
FAQ
PG ya flatshare, kya better hai?
Beginner / new city ke liye PG simpler hai (food + bills included). 1+ saal stay aur predictable schedule wale logon ke liye flatshare cheaper aur free hai.
Rent agreement zaroori hai?
Haan, even informal PG ke liye. Minimum: monthly rent, deposit amount, notice period, included services likhwao. Saves disputes later.
