Notice Period
Definition: The notice period is the advance time you must inform the PG management before vacating your room, usually 15 to 30 days.
Detailed Explanation
A notice period gives the PG operator time to find a new resident for your room. Most PGs in Delhi require 15 to 30 days' notice before vacating. Failing to provide adequate notice may result in forfeiting your security deposit or being charged for the notice period even after leaving. Always provide written notice (text message or email counts) and get an acknowledgment.
