Air-conditioning and necessary furniture

Obviously, out of all the features of PG accommodation, the one that’s most important is a furnished room. And in a ‘furnished room’, it shouldn’t just be a bed and a mattress in place. You should also have a cupboard, extra storage space, and a study table plus chair.

And something that’s equally important is the air-conditioning. Sure, you can get all these things on rent, but trust us, you’d end up spending way more that way. So ideally, this should be included as part of your rent.

Daily Meals

After furniture, food is prolly the main reason why you’re shifting to a PG instead of an apartment, right? Yes. So when you go out to check a PG, do ask a ton of questions about the daily meals. Like, what does their weekly menu look like? How many meals do they serve on a daily basis? And at what timings? Ask all these questions and if you happen to like the answers, then consider it a green flag.

Regular Housekeeping

Not gonna lie, there are many PGs that are least concerned about keeping everything neat and tidy. The dustbins are overflowing, the floors have dirty shoe marks all over them and what not. Plus, that’s just about the common area. When it comes to your own room, your PG must have a housekeeper come in to clean your room on a regular basis. So look out for these things, okay?

Laundry Facilities

Trust us, you don’t want to waste your weekend sitting on the washroom floor and washing your clothes. Or spend extra bucks, time and effort by dropping and picking up laundry from a local laundromat either. So make sure the PG you’re checking out, at the least, has a washing machine for common use.

Wi-Fi

You won’t want to miss deadlines because of internet issues, would you? Or spend a ton on mobile internet pop-ups to compensate for it? Nope. So having a stable and speedy internet connection in your PG is super duper important. Otherwise, good luck on keeping up with both your college assignments and the latest seasons of your favourite Netflix shows.
