There is a difference of a minimum of 20% in rent for girls PG in Delhi and PG for boys, even if they are located in the same area. Sometimes, this difference in rent can go up to 50%. Market analysts say that single PG rooms for girls in Delhi begin at Rs. 12,000 as monthly rent, while for boys they are available at Rs. 9,500.

Normally, girls do not share rooms, while boys have no issues sharing their room with other boys. Also, girls look for better localities that are safer and more secure, and this causes a hike in the rent. PG landlords often have to bear more expenses for security in PG facilities for women, and that possibly is another reason for the higher rent.

Boys often do not look for PG accommodation, but rather choose to rent a flat on sharing basis. This creates a lower demand and therefore also lower prices. Two main factors – fewer roommates and living quarters near their place of study or work push up the rent for girls PG.
