Questions, answered
Everything people usually ask before they use the platform. Still stuck? Write to us.
For people looking
Is PG Bazar free for people looking for a place?
Yes, completely. Browsing, filtering, saving listings and calling owners costs nothing. We never charge brokerage, a finder's fee, or a "platform fee" — and we never will.
Why do I have to sign in to see the owner's number?
Only to keep spam out. Numbers that sit openly on a public page get scraped by brokers and telemarketers within days. A Google sign-in takes one click and your details never appear on any listing.
What does the Verified badge actually mean?
It means we reached the owner on the number shown, and they confirmed the place is real, available, and priced as listed. It is not a property inspection — see how verification works for exactly what we do and don't check.
Can I search by sector?
Yes. Pick a city in the search bar and the area dropdown opens with every sector, plus colonies and villages. If you allow location access, the "Near me" button sorts listings by how far they are from where you're standing.
What if an owner asks me for brokerage?
Tell us immediately. Charging a seeker brokerage is against our terms — we ban the account, remove every listing they have, and they cannot sign back in. You should never pay a rupee of brokerage to anyone on this platform.
Do you have flats, or only PGs?
Both. PGs, hostels, co-living, 1RK, 1BHK, 2BHK and full flats. Use the "Looking for" filter to narrow it down.
How do I find a room partner?
Post what you're looking for on the room partner page and browse people searching in the same area and budget. Splitting a 2BHK is usually cheaper than a single-occupancy PG.
For property owners
What does it cost to list my property?
Nothing. Listing is free, there's no commission on a tenant you find here, and there are no lead fees. See the owner page for the full picture.
How long does verification take?
Usually 24–48 hours. Your listing goes live immediately without a badge. We call you on the number you listed, confirm the rent, deposit, beds free and amenities, then add a Verified badge.
Who sees my phone number?
Only signed-in users. It's shown on your listing so tenants can call you directly — that's the point — but it isn't exposed to anonymous visitors or scrapers.
Can I edit a listing after it's live?
Yes, from your dashboard. Substantial edits keep it live but remove the Verified badge until the updated details are reviewed, which usually takes another day.
What gets a listing removed?
Fake or misleading details, photos that aren't the actual property, or showing beds as free when they aren't get a listing removed. Charging a seeker brokerage gets the whole account banned — no access, no relisting, no refund on a paid month. See the terms.
Daily needs & moving
What are "daily needs"?
The people you need once you've moved in — a maid, the local doodh wala, tiffin service, laundry, water can supply, kirana, gas, an electrician, plumber or packers and movers. We list them the same way we list rooms: confirmed with them first, contact shown directly.
Do you charge for connecting me to a maid or tiffin service?
No. Finding and contacting them on this platform is free. You settle rates directly with them.
How does the moving help work?
Tell us where you're moving from and to on the moving page. We line up packers and movers we've worked with, coordinate the day, and stay on the phone through it. It's a service we run, not a directory listing.
Can I suggest someone I already use?
Please do. There's a suggest form on the daily needs page. We call them to confirm they're happy to be listed before anything goes public.
