Paying guest (PG) accommodation is a type of housing arrangement in which a person, called a paying guest, stays in someone else's house and pays for the use of a room and often for other amenities. The paying guest is typically a student, professional, or traveler who is temporarily staying in a new city or town and does not want to commit to a long-term rental lease. Paying guest arrangements are common in urban areas where there is a high demand for housing. They offer an alternative to traditional rental arrangements, as they can be more flexible and affordable. Some paying guest arrangements also include additional services, such as housekeeping and laundry, as part of the package.
