Pg Accommodation Agreement Format

When and how to use this letter

PG agreements differ from leases because the resident gets a bed and services, not exclusive possession of a property. That distinction matters, so this format calls the arrangement accommodation rather than tenancy. Residents should check whether the PG is a registered establishment, since licensed PGs follow minimum standards for safety, fire exits, and food hygiene.

Read the meal clause carefully before paying. Visit at meal time if possible, and confirm exactly which meals are included and what happens during festivals or the owner's holidays. Also confirm the room occupancy, a double-sharing room at a low price is no bargain if a third bed appears later, so get the occupancy in writing.

A non-obvious tip: ask for the refund policy on the deposit and any advance before moving in, and get it in the agreement. Many PG disputes are about owners deducting vague cleaning or repainting charges, so the agreement should say the deposit is refunded in full within 15 days minus only documented dues. Take a photo of your room on day one, and keep every payment receipt, since PG owners sometimes claim a month was never paid.

Also confirm the food arrangement in practical terms: meal timings, whether tiffin is packed for working residents, and what happens on Sundays or public holidays. Residents who work night shifts should ask about late-night entry rules before paying, since some PGs lock the main gate at 10 pm sharp. A five-minute conversation about daily routine now saves months of friction later.
