What is the Average Rent of PG in Chennai?

Hi, I have lived in a PG for many years while studying in Chennai. I can help you with the PG rent in Chennai through this answer. I stayed in a double sharing room and found that the range for a shared room in Chennai lies between Rs. 5,000 to Rs. 15,000. Let me tell you more about this.

What is the Average Chennai PG Room Rent?

I looked for a single sharing room for one of my friends while in Chennai a few months ago. After inquiring about a few PGs, I found the range to be between Rs. 8,000 to Rs. 15,000. 

The range can change based on the area you live in, the kind of room and facilities provided and more. So, look for these things when deciding on the ideal rent for a flat. Some areas are quite expensive, like Velachery, where the rent range lies between Rs. 8,500 to Rs. 22,000. Porur is comparatively cheaper having an average range of Rs. 7,500 to 16,000. I recommend you visit several PGs to find the range in the area where you want to stay. It will help give you a better idea of the rates. This is all from my side. I hope this helps to know the PG room for rent in Chennai.

I asked my cousin to search for a reasonable PG in Chennai since I had to move in there early this year but he couldn’t get one. He just said that the PG cost in Chennai depends on a number of factors so it's better for me to go and check it out myself as per my requirement. It was my first job and I did not have much time to do the search hence I had to opt for some online platforms to know what is the average rent of PG in Chennai. Let me share my whole experience since I really don't want others to suffer at all.

On what factors does the Chennai pg cost depend?

The cost of PG will depend on a number of factors like

• Location

• Furnished/Unfurnished

• Amenities

• Single/double/triple or more sharing

• Want breakfast/lunch/dinner or not and many more

It is hard to tell what is the average cost of PG in Chennai as the requirements vary. However, let me tell you that on average the cost remains between Rs 8,000 to Rs 30,000 per month.

There are many platforms that can help you get a PG in Chennai like-

• NoBroker

• Book My PG

• PGO

• PrimePGs and more

I checked out the PG price in Chennai using the NoBroker app and checked that the cost to live in a PG and 1 RK is almost similar. But living in PG is better than living in 1 RK as

• You will get free food mostly

• Maintenance will be not on you

• Security is better in PG than in 1 RK

The choice is yours. I hope you have understood what is the PG cost in Chennai and what platforms can help you get one.
