Moving to a new city comes with many expenses — travel, deposits, and initial setup costs. Paying a brokerage fee on top of your PG deposit can add thousands to your move. Finding a zero brokerage PG in Hinjewadi saves you money and hassle right from the start.
What is Brokerage in PGs?
Brokerage is a fee paid to a middleman (broker or agent) who connects you with a PG owner. In Pune, brokerage typically equals one month's rent. For a ₹8,000 monthly PG, you pay ₹8,000 extra just as the brokerage fee. On top of that, you pay a security deposit (usually 1-2 months rent). That means moving into a ₹8,000 PG could cost you ₹24,000-₹32,000 upfront with brokerage.
How Much Can You Save?
Choosing a zero brokerage PG in Hinjewadi saves you one month's rent — typically ₹6,500-₹15,000 depending on your room type. Plus, many direct-owner PGs offer lower deposits. At Rayalaseema PG, we charge zero brokerage and our security deposit is kept reasonable, so you save thousands upfront.
Where to Find Zero Brokerage PGs

Red Flags to Watch For
Some PGs that claim "zero brokerage" still find ways to charge you. Ask specifically: Is there any finding fee, documentation fee, or registration fee? Is the full deposit refundable? Read our PG checklist guide for all the questions to ask before paying anything.
Low Deposit Options
Some PGs in Hinjewadi offer low deposit options — sometimes just ₹2,000-₹5,000 instead of the standard 1-2 months rent. These are ideal for interns, students, or anyone on a tight relocation budget. However, check the terms carefully — some PGs make deposits non-refundable in exchange for low upfront payment.
