Terms & Conditions

1. Definitions and parties

"We", "us", "our" refers to PK Mens PG, operated under Annai General Store. "You", "your", "tenant" refers to any person booking, reserving, or holding a tenancy with us, or using this website. Where these terms differ from your signed Tenant Admission Agreement, the signed agreement prevails.

2. Eligibility

Our accommodation is for men aged 18 and above. A valid government-issued photo ID is required for identity verification (KYC) before a tenancy is activated.

3. Booking and reservation

• An enquiry can be converted to a reservation by our staff. No payment is required to reserve a bed.
• A reservation becomes an active tenancy only once KYC verification, a signed rental agreement, and the applicable payment (joining fee, first month's rent, and security deposit) are complete.
• Your intended room number may be communicated in advance; the specific bed is assigned by staff.
• We reserve the right to decline or cancel a reservation before activation - for example, if KYC cannot be verified.

4. KYC and agreement requirement

A tenancy is not active until identity verification (KYC), the signed digital agreement, and the payment declaration described in Section 3 are all complete.

5. Rent

• Rent is charged per calendar month (1st to last day of the month) and is due on or before the 5th of each month.
• If you join mid-month, rent for the remaining days of that month is charged pro-rata at admission.
• Full rent must be paid on or before the 5th. Partial payments are not accepted.
• If rent is not paid by the 5th, a late fee of 1% of the monthly rent is added for each day of delay, beginning from the 6th.
• Rent charged in error is corrected or refunded on request, where the error is confirmed by Management.

6. Security deposit

• A security deposit is collected before you take possession of the room, with the amount confirmed at the time of booking.
• At least 20% of the deposit is retained until final settlement is complete.
• Deductions may be made from the deposit for unpaid rent, electricity charges, damage to property, the no-notice shortfall charge, the move-out cleaning charge, and any other outstanding dues (including unpaid fines).
• The deposit is refunded within 7-10 working days after you vacate, subject to inspection and clearance of all dues. See our Cancellation & Refund Policy.

7. Lock-in, notice, move-out charges and fines

• This accommodation is for long-term residential use, with a minimum continuous stay (lock-in) of 90 days (3 months) from your date of joining.
• Notice: 15 days' written notice is required, through the Tenant App or in writing to Management. Notice does not end the lock-in or waive any dues. After the lock-in period ends, only this notice is required.
• No-notice shortfall charge: ₹1,000 is deducted from your deposit if you vacate without 15 days' notice.
• Early exit during lock-in: if you leave before the lock-in ends, even with notice, your entire security deposit is forfeited as liquidated damages, you remain liable for monthly rent for the rest of the lock-in period or until a replacement tenant takes the same bed (whichever is earlier), and the departure is recorded as a breach of contract.
• Move-out cleaning charge: ₹500 applies to every move-out, regardless of room condition.
• Overstay fine: you must vacate by the agreed move-out date. Remaining beyond it without prior written approval from Management attracts an overstay fine of ₹500 per day.
• Visitor fine: a visitor may not stay on the premises for more than one hour. A visitor who stays beyond one hour attracts a visitor fine of ₹500. Overnight stays by visitors are not permitted.
• Unpaid charges and fines are treated as outstanding dues and deducted from your deposit at final settlement.

8. Tenant responsibilities

• Maintain the room, shared facilities, and common areas in good, clean condition.
• Inform the Warden or Property Manager before a visitor arrives. No overnight stays for visitors, and visitors may not stay beyond one hour (see Section 7).
• No alcohol, smoking, illegal drugs or controlled substances on the property.
• Report maintenance issues or damages to staff promptly.
• Any damage to property caused by a tenant may be charged against the tenant's deposit.

9. Move-out

• You may give notice to move out at any time; a reason for moving out is optional and never mandatory. Notice does not release you from the 90-day lock-in or waive any dues (see Section 7).
• Final settlement (dues, deposit refund, any applicable penalties) is completed as part of the move-out process - see our Cancellation & Refund Policy.

10. Electricity and other charges

Electricity is charged at ₹12 per unit, measured by the room's own sub-meter, and shared equally between all occupants of the room at the time of billing. Common-area electricity is not charged to tenants. The rate is revised when the electricity board changes its tariff, and Management notifies tenants before the next billing cycle. All electricity dues must be cleared before vacating. The joining fee and any other charges are as stated in your agreement.

11. Our right to refuse or end a tenancy

We may decline or cancel a reservation where KYC cannot be verified. Management may terminate a tenancy and require you to vacate immediately for: non-payment of rent for 15 or more consecutive days; possession or use of drugs or illegal substances; serious violation of house rules; conduct that endangers the safety or well-being of other tenants or staff; or false information given at admission. In these cases the security deposit is not refunded and stands forfeited, without prejudice to any other remedy available to Management. The deposit is likewise not refunded if you violate any term of your agreement or the PK Mens PG House Rules.
