All-in pricing, in plain English

Resident's room with warm afternoon light

All-in pricing means the number on the property page is the number you pay. Not the rent plus electricity plus water plus Wi-Fi plus gas plus housekeeping plus meals. Just one number.

We made the call because every PG in India bills surprise charges. ‘Maintenance’ in month one. ‘Water tanker’ in month four. ‘Diwali decoration’ in month nine. We hated it as residents; we refuse to do it as operators.

What’s included: rent, electricity, water, Wi-Fi (100 Mbps), gas, daily housekeeping for your room and the common areas, laundry twice a week, two daily meals on weekdays, three on weekends.

What’s not: dry cleaning of your jeans, the cost of replacing a TV you broke at 2am, your Netflix account.
