Flat for Rent in DLF Phase 5 Gurgaon: Rents and Guide

A flat for rent in DLF Phase 5 Gurgaon can cost Rs 30,000 a month or Rs 8 lakh, and the address on its own says little about which. DLF Phase 5, which portals also list as DLF Phase V or DLF City Phase 5, lines Golf Course Road across Sectors 42, 43, 53 and 54. DLF Phase 5 apartments for rent fall into two groups: the DLF condominiums such as Princeton Estate, Carlton Estate and Wellington Estate, where most 2 and 3 BHKs are let, and the estate towers (Park Place, the Crest, the Belaire, the Aralias and the Magnolias), where rents begin at about Rs 1.5 lakh.

One portal's two DLF Phase 5 rent pages give averages of Rs 49,275 and Rs 50,232 a month for a 2 BHK and Rs 53,760 and Rs 66,240 for a 3 BHK, and the same portal says most flats let here are 4 BHKs, then 3 BHKs. Nearly all of it is gated: it counts 764-plus gated community flats for rent in DLF Phase 5. The averages describe the condominiums; the estate towers sit well above them, which is why this page prices the phase tower by tower.

DLF Phase 5 rents, tower by tower

Divide each rent by its floor area and the phase sorts itself. The 700 sq ft Sector 43 flat lets at about Rs 43 per sq ft a month (Rs 30,000 over 700). A 1,365 sq ft Carlton Estate 3 BHK comes to Rs 45 to Rs 48 (Rs 62,000 to Rs 65,000), the Summit to about Rs 46 to Rs 60 on its Rs 1.65 lakh to Rs 1.8 lakh quotes for 3,000 to 3,600 sq ft, the Icon to about Rs 50 to Rs 65 (Rs 1.4 lakh to Rs 1.7 lakh for 2,610 to 2,810 sq ft), and a 4,000 sq ft Pinnacle flat to about Rs 56. Then the line breaks: Park Place lets at about Rs 76 per sq ft (Rs 1.5 lakh over 1,975 sq ft) and a Crest 3 BHK at about Rs 111 (Rs 3 lakh over 2,700 sq ft). Up to the Pinnacle a higher rent mostly buys a bigger flat. In Park Place and the Crest it buys the building, and the 5,850 sq ft Aralias flat, at about Rs 63 per sq ft, is cheaper per foot than either only because it is so large.

An earlier version of this page put the Magnolias among 3 BHK towers at Rs 1 lakh to Rs 1.5 lakh. The Magnolias has no 3 BHK: its flats are 4 and 5 BHKs and penthouses, let at Rs 7.25 lakh to Rs 8 lakh for a 4 BHK. A 3 BHK below Rs 1 lakh is still easy to find in Phase 5, but in the condominiums, not in the estate towers.

Two kinds of building under one name

The condominiums hold the 2 and 3 BHK supply. Princeton Estate and Westend Heights in Sector 53 are the two projects one portal names as popular for renting in the phase. With Carlton Estate and Wellington Estate, and the unnamed stock around them, they supply the 2 and 3 BHKs in the listings read: flats of about 800 to 1,365 sq ft at Rs 45,000 to Rs 78,000. Their maintenance is modest: Rs 3,500 a month on the Rs 63,000 Princeton Estate 3 BHK, under 6% of the rent. Read Princeton Estate rent quotes with care, though; one 3 BHK was offered at Rs 1.7 lakh with Rs 6,666 of maintenance, close to three times the other listing, and the portal did not say what made it different.

The estate towers are a different product. Park Place starts at 1,975 sq ft for a 3 BHK, the Crest's 3 BHKs are about 2,700 sq ft, the Summit and the Pinnacle let 4 BHKs of 3,000 to 4,000 sq ft, and an Aralias 4 BHK of 5,850 sq ft was on offer at Rs 3.7 lakh. A household that needs four bedrooms in a managed tower is the tenant this phase was built for.

Do not assume the dearer towers run better because they cost more. Residents' reviews of the Aralias put maintenance at Rs 35,000 to Rs 42,000 a month and complain about the service for that money. Ask any tower for last year's maintenance bills and the resident association's recent minutes before you treat the DLF name as a guarantee.

Before you sign in Phase 5

Ask for the maintenance figure in rupees a month and as a rate per sq ft, and find out whether the quoted rent includes it. A broker page for the 4,000 sq ft Pinnacle flat at Rs 2.25 lakh adds Rs 16,000 a month, which is Rs 4 per sq ft and about 7% on top of the rent. Between two otherwise similar quotes, that line can matter more than the furniture.

Annex the inventory to the agreement if the flat is furnished, because at these rents a deposit dispute at exit is about lakhs. Ask whether a tenant gets the club and on what terms. And check which Rapid Metro station is closest: Sector 42-43, Sector 53-54 and Sector 54 Chowk all sit on this stretch of Golf Course Road, and Sikanderpur, the line's only interchange with the Delhi Metro Yellow Line, lies to the north.

For the rest of the corridor, including the towers on it that DLF did not build, read flat for rent on Golf Course Road; for newer towers further south, Golf Course Extension Road; and for every belt of the city, flats for rent in Gurgaon. Buying in the phase is covered on our Sector 54 flats page, and DLF's projects across the city are under DLF property in Gurgaon.

The honest case, both ways

What works here

• Every size inside four sectors, from a 700 sq ft 2 BHK at Rs 30,000 to Magnolias 4 BHKs at Rs 7.25-8 lakh
• 3 BHKs between Rs 56,000 and Rs 78,000 in the DLF condominiums: Wellington Estate, Princeton Estate and Carlton Estate
• Large flats in managed towers: Summit 4 BHKs of 3,000-3,600 sq ft, a 4,000 sq ft Pinnacle flat, a 5,850 sq ft Aralias 4 BHK
• Three Rapid Metro stations on this stretch of Golf Course Road: Sector 42-43, Sector 53-54 and Sector 54 Chowk
• Modest maintenance in the condominiums: Rs 3,500 a month on a Rs 63,000 Princeton Estate 3 BHK

What does not

• The estate towers start where the condominiums stop: Park Place 3 BHKs at Rs 1.5 lakh, Crest 3 BHKs at Rs 2.7-4.5 lakh
• Per sq ft a Crest 3 BHK rents at about Rs 111 a month, more than twice a Carlton Estate 3 BHK's Rs 45-48
• Maintenance in the big towers is large: Rs 16,000 on a Pinnacle 4 BHK, Rs 35,000-42,000 reported in the Aralias
• No legal cap on the deposit in Haryana; on a Rs 2.25 lakh flat each month asked is Rs 2.25 lakh
• Undated broker quotes, and far-apart figures for one building: Princeton Estate 3 BHKs at Rs 63,000 and Rs 1.7 lakh

Who this suits, and who it does not

Worth a look if

• Senior executives on a company housing allowance, for the estate towers
• Families who want three bedrooms on Golf Course Road for Rs 56,000 to Rs 78,000, in the condominiums
• Households that need four bedrooms and 3,000 sq ft or more in a managed tower

Look elsewhere if

• Anyone who needs a 1 BHK: no 1 BHK rent came back for the phase
• Tenants who want an estate-tower 3 BHK below Rs 1.5 lakh, the Park Place figure that is the cheapest found
• Tenants who cannot leave two or three months of a six-figure rent with the landlord

Our view

DLF Phase 5 is two rental markets under one name. The condominiums let 2 and 3 BHKs for about Rs 45,000 to Rs 78,000, with three Rapid Metro stations inside the phase. The estate towers start at Rs 1.5 lakh and run to Rs 8 lakh, and what they charge for is the building more than the floor area. Decide which market you are in before you compare a single quote, and get the maintenance figure before you compare two.

In short: A 3 BHK in Phase 5 costs Rs 56,000 or Rs 3 lakh depending on the tower. Price it by tower and by sq ft, and get the maintenance in writing.

What this tenancy costs beyond the rent

At Phase 5 rents the extras run into lakhs. Worked on a Carlton Estate 3 BHK at Rs 75,000 a month, one of the cheaper 3 BHKs in the phase:

• Deposit. Two months is Rs 1,50,000 and three is Rs 2,25,000. Nothing in Haryana law limits it (see below), so the figure is whatever you agree; on a Rs 1.5 lakh Park Place flat each month asked is another Rs 1.5 lakh.
• Brokerage. Agree the fee, and who pays it, in writing before the first visit, and ask whether the owner is paying the same broker.
• Eleven months of rent. Rs 75,000 over an 11-month agreement is Rs 8.25 lakh before maintenance and electricity. Put the society charge on its own line: Rs 3,500 a month in the Princeton Estate example, Rs 16,000 on the Pinnacle flat.
• TDS. An individual or HUF tenant paying more than Rs 50,000 a month deducts 2% of the rent once, from the last month's rent of the tenancy or of the financial year: Rs 16,500 on Rs 8.25 lakh. Since 1 April 2026 that deduction sits under section 393(1) of the Income-tax Act, 2025 and is reported on Form 141, which took the place of Form 26QC. Every 3 and 4 BHK figure on this page is over the line; 2 BHKs sit either side of it.

Three smaller lines catch Phase 5 tenants. Power backup is often billed on its own meter on top of the DHBVN bill, so ask for last summer's backup charges along with the maintenance. Many societies charge a move-in fee and hold a refundable deposit against interior work. And the landlord files police verification with your ID. On the paperwork: Haryana requires a lease of 12 months or more to be registered, so most agreements here are written for eleven. A registered lease of up to five years carries stamp duty of 1.5% of the average annual rent, while e-stamp services disagree on the 11-month duty, a flat fee in some and 1.5% of a year's rent in others, so let the e-stamp portal work it out.

The rent rules that are not law in Gurugram

Articles on rent reform describe limits on deposits and a duty to file tenancies with a Rent Authority. Those rules belong to the Model Tenancy Act, 2021, which the Centre drafted for the states to adopt. Haryana has not adopted it. A DLF Phase 5 tenancy runs under the Haryana Urban (Control of Rent and Eviction) Act, 1973 and the agreement you sign, so the deposit, lock-in, notice period and yearly increase are only what that document says.

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 of a flat in DLF Phase 5 Gurgaon?

It depends on the tower more than the size. One portal's two DLF Phase 5 rent pages give 2 BHK averages of Rs 49,275 and Rs 50,232 a month and 3 BHK averages of Rs 53,760 and Rs 66,240; those figures describe the DLF condominiums such as Princeton Estate, Carlton Estate and Wellington Estate. The estate towers start at Rs 1.5 lakh for a Park Place 3 BHK and reach Rs 7.25 lakh to Rs 8 lakh for a Magnolias 4 BHK. The cheapest flat found was a 700 sq ft 2 BHK in Sector 43 at Rs 30,000.

What does a 2 BHK flat for rent in DLF Phase 5 Gurgaon cost?

One portal prints 2 BHKs across the phase at Rs 45,000 to Rs 75,000 a month for 800 to 1,127 sq ft, and another averages them at Rs 49,275 to Rs 50,232. A Princeton Estate 2 BHK was listed at Rs 56,000, and a 700 sq ft 2 BHK in Sector 43, building not named, at Rs 30,000. Supply is thin: the second portal counts 23-plus 2 BHKs to let on one of its DLF Phase 5 pages.

How much is a 3 BHK for rent in DLF Phase 5 Gurgaon?

In the DLF condominiums, about Rs 56,000 to Rs 78,000 a month: Wellington Estate 3 BHKs average about Rs 56,000, a Princeton Estate 3 BHK was listed at Rs 63,000 plus Rs 3,500 of maintenance, and Carlton Estate 3 BHKs at Rs 62,000 to Rs 65,000 for 1,365 sq ft and Rs 75,000 to Rs 78,000 for 1,333 to 1,352 sq ft. In the estate towers a 3 BHK is Rs 1.5 lakh in Park Place and Rs 2.7 lakh to Rs 4.5 lakh in the Crest. One Princeton Estate 3 BHK was also offered at Rs 1.7 lakh, far above the rest, so ask what that flat includes before comparing it.

Can I get a 1 BHK flat on rent in DLF Phase 5 Gurgaon?

None of the searches made for this page returned a 1 BHK in DLF Phase 5. The phase was built for families: one portal says most flats let here are 4 BHKs, followed by 3 BHKs, and the smallest flat found was a 700 sq ft 2 BHK in Sector 43 at Rs 30,000 a month. A tenant who needs one bedroom near Golf Course Road will have to look outside the DLF towers.

How much do 4 BHK flats in DLF Phase 5 Gurgaon rent for?

From about Rs 1.4 lakh to Rs 8 lakh a month. Broker pages quote the Icon at Rs 1.4 lakh to Rs 1.7 lakh for 2,610 to 2,810 sq ft, the Summit at Rs 1.5 lakh to Rs 2.1 lakh for 3,000 to 3,600 sq ft, the Belaire at Rs 1.8 lakh to Rs 2.5 lakh and the Pinnacle at Rs 1.9 lakh to Rs 2.25 lakh. This site's building pages found Park Place 4 BHKs at Rs 1.4 lakh to Rs 1.85 lakh, the Crest at Rs 3.1 lakh to Rs 3.5 lakh, the Aralias at Rs 3.3 lakh to Rs 6.15 lakh and the Magnolias at Rs 7.25 lakh to Rs 8 lakh.

Which sectors make up DLF Phase 5, and is it on Golf Course Road?

Yes, DLF Phase 5 lines Golf Course Road across Sectors 42, 43, 53 and 54. The Aralias and the Magnolias are in Sector 42, the Pinnacle and the Icon in Sector 43, Princeton Estate and Westend Heights in Sector 53, and Park Place, the Crest, the Belaire and the Summit in Sector 54; Carlton Estate and Wellington Estate are listed in the phase too. The Rapid Metro runs along the road, with stations at Sector 42-43, Sector 53-54 and Sector 54 Chowk.

What does a DLF Phase 5 rental cost beyond the rent?

Maintenance first, and it ranges widely: Rs 3,500 a month on a Rs 63,000 Princeton Estate 3 BHK, Rs 16,000 on a 4,000 sq ft Pinnacle flat, and Rs 35,000 to Rs 42,000 in Aralias residents' reviews. No Haryana law caps the deposit, so the agreement sets it. Above Rs 50,000 a month an individual or HUF tenant deducts 2% TDS once, under section 393(1) of the Income-tax Act, 2025 since 1 April 2026, and files Form 141.
