The 10-point visit checklist
Taste a meal before paying; check mattress quality and ventilation; count bathrooms per floor; confirm geyser and RO water; ask current residents about food repetition and warden behaviour; read the notice-period and refund rules; confirm how AC electricity is billed; verify two-wheeler parking; test mobile network inside the room; and insist on a rent receipt every month. Ten minutes of checking saves ten months of regret.
When to upgrade to a flat
Once two or three friends are stable in the same area for a year, a shared 2 BHK usually beats PG economics and adds a kitchen plus freedom from gate timings. Compare current rentals in Mumbai against your combined PG spend and jump when both the numbers and the friendships feel solid.
