Cancellation & Refund Policy

Clear and fair terms for cancellations, security deposits, and payment processing across the AllPGs platform.

Last Updated: September 6, 2026

AllPGs acts as a digital marketplace connecting tenants directly with PG property owners. While we facilitate bookings, payments, and communication, the financial terms of your tenancy are primarily governed by your agreement with the property owner. This policy outlines the standard framework and your rights.

1. Booking Cancellation

AllPGs connects tenants directly with PG property owners. Cancellation terms depend on your tenancy stage and the individual property agreement:

  • Before Check-In: If you cancel before moving in, the booking token is fully refunded by the property owner, provided cancellation is made at least 7 days before the scheduled move-in date.
  • During Lock-In Period: Cancellation during the lock-in period (typically the first 3-6 months) is governed by your individual rental agreement. A portion of the security deposit may be forfeited as per the agreed terms.
  • After Lock-In Period: After the lock-in period, tenants must provide the standard notice period (typically 30 days) as specified in the rental agreement. The booking token is non-refundable at this stage.

2. Security Deposit Refund

Security deposits are held by the property owner, not by AllPGs. The refund process follows this standard timeline:

  • Raise a move-out request through the AllPGs app or notify the PG owner directly.
  • The property owner will inspect the room within 7 days of your last day.
  • After inspection, the deposit is returned within 15-30 days, minus any legitimate deductions for outstanding utility bills, structural damage, or unpaid rent.
  • AllPGs provides a digital record of your move-out request for dispute resolution purposes.

3. Convenience Fees

When making payments through the AllPGs platform, please note the following regarding processing fees:

  • Payment processing fees (convenience fees) are charged by the payment gateway and vary by payment method (UPI, Netbanking, Credit/Debit Card).
  • Convenience fees are non-refundable once a payment transaction has been successfully processed.
  • In the event of a failed or double-charged transaction, the fee will be reversed along with the principal amount.
  • AllPGs does not charge any platform or service fee to tenants for browsing, searching, or booking.

4. How to Cancel a Booking

To cancel a booking or initiate a refund request, follow these steps:

  • In-App: Open AllPGs → Tenant Portal → My Bookings → select your booking → Cancel Booking.
  • Via Email: Send your cancellation request to support@allpgs.com with your booking reference number and reason for cancellation.
  • Our support team will acknowledge your request within 24 hours and coordinate with the property owner for refund processing.

5. Dispute Resolution

If you disagree with any refund decision or cancellation outcome:

  • First, contact the PG owner directly through the AllPGs app messaging feature to attempt an amicable resolution.
  • If unresolved within 7 days, escalate to AllPGs support at support@allpgs.com with all relevant receipts and agreements.
  • AllPGs will mediate between tenant and owner but is not a party to the rental agreement.
  • Any legal disputes arising from cancellation or refund matters are subject to the jurisdiction of courts in Bangalore, Karnataka, governed by Indian law.
