What to look for in your first PG
Finding the right paying guest accommodation can be overwhelming. Here's a comprehensive checklist to help you navigate the process:
1. Location & Connectivity
Check how far the PG is from your college or workplace. Ideally, it should be within 2–5 km or have easy access to public transport.
2. Safety & Security
Look for CCTV cameras, a secure entrance, and good lighting in common areas. Ask about the warden's availability.
3. Room & Amenities
Inspect the room personally. Check for bed quality, storage space, ventilation, and whether WiFi is reliable. On NearMePG, you can view bed-level photos before booking.
4. Food Quality
If meals are included, taste the food and check the menu. Ask current residents for honest feedback.
5. Contract Terms
Read the agreement carefully. Note the notice period, security deposit amount, and rules about guests and curfews.
Final Tips
Always visit in person before paying any advance. Use platforms like NearMePG to read verified reviews from real tenants who've stayed at the property.
