Mint reported that India faces a severe demand-supply mismatch in student housing, and unregulated paying guest (PG) accommodations pose safety hazards.
Whether you're a student budgeting monthly rent or a parent choosing accommodation, PG quality, safety, and pricing directly hit household costs. Organized student housing could bring standardized rents and safer facilities to college towns.
Track PG and hostel rents in your city alongside any state registration or safety rules for student accommodation before signing a lease.
