1 RK Flat for Rent in Gurgaon: Studio Rents and Areas

Gurgaon's studio market is bigger than it looks. Between one and 1.3 thousand 1 RK listings are live across the portals at any time, which is more one-room stock than most people assume exists in a city built around three-bedroom towers.

Rents start near Rs 8,000 for furnished stock and top out around Rs 25,000 in Sushant Lok 1. What that money buys varies enormously, which is the main thing this page is about.

What a 1 RK costs across the city

As a rough map of the segments: budget studios sit at Rs 8,000 to Rs 15,000, the mid-segment at Rs 15,000 to Rs 25,000, and anything above Rs 30,000 is really a serviced apartment competing with hotels rather than a 1 RK competing with flats.

Studio, or a room in a shared flat?

The honest comparison for most single tenants is not studio against 1 BHK, it is studio against a room in a shared 3 BHK. Sharing a good society flat in the central sectors typically works out at Rs 16,000 to Rs 28,000 a head including the amenity and the power backup.

Against that, a Rs 20,000 studio buys privacy and no flatmates, and usually costs you a clubhouse, a gym, reliable DG and often parking. Which way that goes is temperament rather than arithmetic — but it is worth pricing both before assuming the studio is the cheap option.

What to check on a Gurgaon studio

First, whether it is a legal, separately metered unit or a partition of a larger floor. That decides your electricity bill more than anything else, because a shared meter means you pay a share the landlord calculates.

Second, power backup. In a studio without DG, a Gurgaon May is genuinely unpleasant and the inverter bill is real. Third, water — some older floors run on tankers for part of the summer. Fourth, get the parking position written down, since most studios come with none.

If you would rather have a separate bedroom, the 1 BHK page covers the next step up, and the Cyber City-side market specifically is on flats for rent near Cyber City. The city-wide bands sit on flats for rent in Gurgaon.

What a Gurgaon tenancy costs beyond the rent

The number on the listing is not the number that leaves your account. Budget for all of this before you agree a rent:

• Security deposit — two to three months' rent is normal on an unfurnished society flat, and furnished or premium stock is routinely asked at three to six. There is no statutory cap in Haryana, whatever you may have read; see the note below.
• Brokerage — customarily one month's rent, and negotiable. On a society flat the broker is often paid by both sides, which is worth asking about before you view.
• Maintenance or CAM — charged by the RWA or the facility manager per sq ft per month, usually on top of rent. Ask for the current rate and whether it is included; on a large flat it can be a fifth of the rent again.
• Electricity — metered on the DHBVN domestic slab, with DG backup billed separately per unit at a higher rate. In a high-rise with heavy backup use this is a real monthly line, not a rounding error.
• Move-in charges — many societies levy a one-time, non-refundable move-in fee and ask for a refundable interior deposit if you are doing any work.
• Police verification — Gurugram Police ask landlords to file tenant verification. It is the landlord's job, but it is your ID that goes on it, so expect to be asked for documents.

The agreement, the stamp duty and the TDS

• Eleven months is the standard term because registration becomes compulsory once a lease runs beyond a year. An 11-month agreement in Haryana is executed on an e-stamp certificate that typically costs a few hundred rupees; a registered lease of up to five years attracts stamp duty of 1.5% of the average annual rent.
• TDS under Section 194-IB — if you are an individual or HUF paying more than Rs 50,000 a month, you must deduct tax at 2%. That rate came down from 5% with effect from 1 October 2024. It is deducted once, in the last month of the tenancy or of the financial year, whichever comes first, and paid using Form 26QC. On Gurgaon rents this catches far more tenants than they expect.

The rent rules that are not law in Gurugram

You will see it written that a residential deposit is capped at two months, that a tenancy must be registered with a Rent Authority within 60 days, and that rent can only rise once a year with 90 days' notice. Those are provisions of the Model Tenancy Act, 2021, which is a template the Centre offered the states. Haryana has not adopted it. Gurugram tenancies still run under the Haryana Urban (Control of Rent and Eviction) Act, 1973, plus whatever your agreement says. In practice your contract is the rulebook, so read the deposit, notice, lock-in and escalation clauses properly rather than assuming a statute protects you.

Tell us the budget, the office you commute to and the month you need to move, and we will come back with a shortlist where the maintenance, the deposit and the actual furnishing have been confirmed — not a scrape of everything listed.

FAQs

What is the rent for a 1 RK in Gurgaon?

Furnished studios start near Rs 8,000 a month and run to about Rs 25,000 in Sushant Lok 1. Sector 52 had one at Rs 9,500, Sector 23A at Rs 15,000 and Sector 54 at Rs 20,000 on the day of writing.

How many 1 RK flats are available in Gurgaon?

Roughly a thousand to 1,300 studio listings are live across the major portals at any time, so supply is deeper than most people expect in a city built around larger flats.

Where are the cheapest studios in Gurgaon?

The older central sectors such as 52 and the Old Gurgaon side around Sector 23A, plus the urban villages. Cyber City-side studios cost roughly double the same room in those areas.

Is a studio cheaper than sharing a flat in Gurgaon?

Not always. A room in a shared society 3 BHK in the central sectors runs about Rs 16,000 to Rs 28,000 a head with amenities included, which overlaps the studio band while adding a clubhouse and reliable backup.

Do 1 RK flats in Gurgaon come furnished?

Usually yes — the stock is built for tenants, so a bed, wardrobe, geyser and often a fridge and AC are standard. Confirm what is included in writing, because the definition of furnished varies sharply.
