Hidden Costs of Renting in Gurgaon
Beyond the Base Rent
Renters are often blinded by the base rent.
Brokerage (Status: VERIFIED)
While 15 days rent is the Gurgaon standard for standard apartments, luxury transactions on Golf Course Road (₹1.5L+ rent) increasingly see brokers demanding 1 month's rent due to the exclusivity of inventory.
Move-out Deductions (Status: OPERATIONAL)
Painting charges are often contractually debated for natural wear and tear, but practically standard in Gurgaon leases.
Real FAQs from Renters
