PG & Co-Living for Rent in Bangalore

A Paying Guest (PG) arrangement is a rental setup where an individual rents a private room or shared room within a larger residential property, often with included amenities such as food, Wi-Fi, housekeeping, and utilities. Unlike flat rentals, PG stays are typically shorter-term, include bundled services, and involve shared facilities and meals.

PG rent in Bangalore varies based on locality, room type (single/double/triple sharing), and amenities. Budget PGs with Wi-Fi only are more affordable, while PGs with food, laundry, housekeeping, and private rooms command premium pricing. Rent ranges are indicated above and reflect recent market patterns.

Typically included are accommodation, basic Wi-Fi, utilities (water/electricity up to a cap), and sometimes meals. Some PGs also include laundry, housekeeping, and common area maintenance. Always verify what is included vs what is extra (e.g., electricity overage).

Many PGs in Bangalore offer meal plans — most commonly breakfast + dinner, and in premium plans all meals. Meal quality and menu variety can vary, so request a sample menu during site visits.

PG agreements in Bangalore are often more flexible than apartment leases. Many PGs offer monthly or quarterly agreements with shorter lock-in periods. However, longer stays might still be preferred by landlords for stability.

Some PGs may require parental consent letters for student tenants.

Choice depends on individual comfort, safety preferences, and community norms. Girls often prefer girls-only PGs for added security, while professionals may prefer co-ed for flexibility. Boys PGs often prioritise affordability and shared facilities.
