Staytion Coliving
Everything you're agreeing to when you book a Staytion bed — in plain language, before any money changes hands. The payment terms are firm so there are never surprises later; the living rules are simply what everyone sharing the home has agreed to keep. Your booking confirms you've read and accepted all of it.
Effective August 2026 · Applies to all Staytion homes unless your written agreement says otherwise
Most rooms carry a 6-month lock-in by default; some differ. Confirm the lock-in for your room before you book — the stay cannot be ended, and notice cannot be given, inside the lock-in period.
Every resident signs an 11-month PG accommodation agreement and completes police verification — it's the law in Mumbai and it protects you as much as us. The agreement is signed on your phone with an Aadhaar OTP (eSign); we never ask for your Aadhaar number or a copy of the card. Before move-in you'll share a passport-size photo, one government ID (PAN, Voter ID or Driving licence), and your permanent and office addresses.
The PG agreement cannot be used for Aadhaar, passport, bank, credit-card or any other ID/address verification, and no permanent address or residence proof may be created at the flat's address.
These terms are fixed for everyone — they're what keeps rent predictable and the same rules applied to every resident.
Any payment made towards a token, booking or rent is non-refundable once made. A token holds your bed — so we turn other people away for you.
Your rent date is the monthly anniversary of your move-in. Rent for the month ahead is due on that date.
Rent paid within 5 days of your rent date is fine. Beyond that, a penalty of 1% of the monthly rent per day of delay applies.
Unless explicitly agreed in writing, rent covers your bed and building services — electricity and meals are separate. Meal and laundry add-ons are available; ask us for current pricing.
AC usage is billed at ₹15 per metered unit. This rate is deliberately pegged to the highest slab electricity companies charge and is non-negotiable — heavy AC use is the single biggest cost swing in a shared flat, and metering it keeps bills fair for everyone else.
Every AC has its own meter, and your photos are the record. Share a photo of your room's AC meter when you move in, each month when it's asked for in the common group, and again when you move out. That marks the clean start and end of your meter journey — you pay exactly for your own usage, never the previous resident's.
Agreements run 11 months. On renewal, rent steps up by 7%.
Notice must be 30 days, and it can only be given on your rent date — up to 5 days before or after it is fine. This keeps everyone's months whole and lets us line up the next resident without charging you for gaps.
In your final month, half your deposit is adjusted against rent and you pay the remaining half of the rent. The balance deposit is returned after you vacate, once electricity and any pending dues are deducted — normally settled within 7 days. If your pending dues are likely to exceed the balance deposit, we may ask for the full last month's rent instead and settle the entire deposit after dues.
All keys issued at move-in must be returned as-is when you vacate. Misplaced keys cost ₹500 per key for replacement.
Hand your room and bed over clean — the same way they were ready for you on day one.
These aren't our rules so much as the standing agreement between everyone who shares the home — each one exists because it protects a flatmate.
We live in shared spaces. What's harmless to you can be real discomfort to the person on the next bed — take it outside the home.
Unless explicitly confirmed in writing for your flat, cooking is strictly not allowed. Where meals matter to you, ask about our food add-on instead.
This is a hard rule in the buildings we operate in. It protects your guest most of all — and your flatmates, who share the same address and the same society scrutiny. Please don't put a friend or a flatmate in that position.
Relatives, partners and friends cannot stay in the PG unless explicitly agreed by the owners in advance. Your flatmates signed up to live with you, not with your guests.
Get-togethers of outsiders inside the flat need the owner's explicit agreement beforehand. Flatmates have exams, early shifts and their own lives — be mindful of how a crowd lands on them.
Housekeeping covers the common areas, but a shared home stays livable because each person keeps their own space — and anything they use — clean.
Any loss or damage you cause to PG property or a fellow resident's belongings is yours to make good.
Keep laptops, phones, watches and other valuables secured. The PG is not responsible for loss of personal belongings left open in shared rooms.
Every flat sits inside a housing society with its own rules, and residents are expected to respect them. In any dispute involving the society or its members, the society's ruling is final and binding on all of us — owner included.
If the society levies a fine because of a resident's conduct, that cost is borne by the resident who caused it. We don't enjoy this one — but a cost one person creates can't land on the whole house.
Booking a bed at Staytion means you've read and accepted these terms. Questions about any clause — or about the lock-in, deposit or add-ons for a specific room? Ask us on WhatsApp before you book; we'd rather explain now than surprise you later. Want a copy for your records? .
