✅ 1. Visit Before Paying

Never pay online without visiting. Check the room, washroom, kitchen, and building surroundings.

✅ 2. Ask for a Rent Agreement

A written agreement should mention:

Rent and deposit

Notice period

Facilities included

Refund policy

✅ 3. Check ID Proof of Owner

Ask for the owner’s ID proof and property ownership documents. A genuine PG owner won’t hesitate to share.

✅ 4. Talk to Current Tenants

They will give you honest reviews about food, cleanliness, and owner behavior.

✅ 5. Inspect Safety & Facilities

Check for CCTV, power backup, and water supply. Also, inspect for hidden charges like electricity or maintenance.
