Bengaluru is grappling with skyrocketing rents and property prices. As the Silicon Valley of India continues to attract a flood of professionals, a new wave of entrepreneurial thought is emerging. The internet is now buzzing with discussions about running paying guest (PG) accommodations in the city.
On X (formerly Twitter), a user, Monalika Patnaik, wrote, “My dream job is to become a PG owner in Bangalore. Do nothing, get a whooping rent at the end of every month, and not return the security deposit.”

In just a day of being shared, the post has captured the attention of several users online. A majority of users shared their experiences and frustrations with Bengaluru’s PG system, while others stated that they had the same dream of owning a PG with good food and clean rooms.
“Not returning the security deposit sounds personal,” commented a user.
Another stated, “Forget startups, the real unicorns in India are Bangalore PG owners. Zero investment, infinite returns, and no refunds. Legendary business model.”
“Was shocked to know that in Bangalore, casually, landlords forfeit the deposit. This tells how greedy people are. Never seen this happen in Mumbai,” said an individual.
An account remarked, “Bangalore PG building owners easily take 2.5 to 5 lakhs per month depending on the number of rooms. Multiply that by 5 or 8 for the advance they collect.”
“Living the dream! Just make sure you don’t accidentally become the tenant of your own property—that security deposit might come back to haunt you!” shared a user.
An individual wrote, “I really had this idea of owning a PG when I was staying in one in 2014-15. Such a crazy business. But I had other ideas—I dreamt of providing good food and clean rooms.”
“The most dishonest landlords are in Bangalore… Back in 2002 my landlord gave me a check and then put a stop payment on it and stopped all contact with me,” posted another.
Till now, the post has grabbed more than 3 lakh views, and the numbers are increasing.
