How Do I Find A Good PG In Mumbai?

If you’re searching for a PG in Mumbai, we totally get you. Because let’s face it it’s hard to afford a stand-alone flat on your own in the city of dreams when you’re a student or still starting out in your career. Also, given the cramped-up flats in Mumbai, spending on a PG is just more logical in so many cases. But hey, if you’re worried about whether you’d even be able to find a good PG, then don’t. We’ve got you covered on that.

Coz here’s the thing, we’ve got a fair share of experience when it comes to rental accommodation for young migrants like you. In fact, at Stanza Living, we manage more than 450+ residences in 24+ cities including Mumbai. Basically, what we’re trying to say is that we really know what we’re talking about i.e helping you find your ideal paying guest house in Mumbai on your own. Now, just read on so you don’t end up moving into a shared apartment that’s got more people than a local train coach.

Search for Online Rental Listings and Co-living Spaces

When you look for a PG room in Mumbai, you should always start with an online search. Sure, there was a time when most internet listings were either fraudulent or didn’t have any contact numbers for you to get in touch with. But no more. With the rise of professional online rental listing websites and managed accommodation providers (like Stanza Living), a lot of your room-hunting ordeals will get sorted online in the comfort of your home. This is the no.1 reason why most of these scamsters have moved away from rental listings. And are now selling time management courses online lol.

Ask your Friends and Spread the Word Around

The first thing you should do whenever you’re moving into a new city is to reach out to your friends, seniors, or colleagues living there. This will help you shortlist your preferred localities, and give you a rough idea about the cost of living, and if you’re lucky, you may just directly get the contact number of your dream PG too. Or if you don’t have anyone that you can call, then just put a story on Insta saying that you’re looking for a PG room in Mumbai. Some helpful folks will reach out to you fosho.

The Old School Way

If all else fails, you can always resort back to the old-school way of hunting for a PG by walking around your preferred locality. Sure, that wouldn’t be fun given you’ll most likely come across a few rude landlords. But then again, you gotta do what you gotta do. Also, you never know when you might just come across a super good PG. If you just walk around with your backpack, looking lost, then someone with a room to lease out will automatically appear next to you. Try it.
