Once you have fixed your budget half your problems are solved. One of the best ways of looking for PG accommodation is do an online search. It will save you the hassle of going through brokers.

Location and Locality:

Choose a locality from where public transport is easily available and commuting to different parts of the city is not a problem. It should be close to your educational institute or office and should be easily accessible to the main road. The locality should have facilities like hospitals, shopping centers, entertainment zones, banks, ATMs, Fitness Centers amongst other things.

Services and Amenities:

Before zeroing in on the PG accommodation ensure that the place offers you basic amenities like WIFI connectivity, uninterrupted power supply, CCTV Cameras, and open living space with interactive common areas.

Quality of Food:

Now that you have identified a place to stay, you will have to focus on the availability of food. Check out if the landlord if offering you all the meals and if there is a choice between vegetarian and non-vegetarian food or if there is a fixed menu. Also, check if the dinner timings are fixed or flexible and whether there is a provision for packed breakfast and lunch.

Restriction of Movement:

Check if there is a curfew time and what is the latest time by which you have to get in. Getting this information is very important in order to avoid future unpleasantness. Before moving in you should be aware of the guest policy as every PG owner has his or her own guest policy.

These fully-furnished places take care of all your daily living needs under one roof – hygienic and delicious meals, speedy internet, regular laundry and housekeeping, 24×7 security, social distancing, and hygiene of the property and surrounding areas. They also focus on balancing personal zones (rooms and private spaces) with interactive common areas (dining halls, shared kitchens, outdoor spaces, entertainment areas). This creates a healthy mix of privacy and collaboration, without forcing you to adjust in cramped and poorly maintained places.

The rent includes all amenities such as good water supply, security, electricity, internet connectivity, CCTV, excellent food, a friendly environment with fitness centers, and most importantly a clean and sanitized atmosphere.
