Flats for Rent in Gurgaon: Belt-Wise Rents and Tenant Guide

A flat in Gurgaon rents for anywhere between Rs 8,000 and Rs 3 lakh a month, and both ends of that are the same city. The average hides more than it tells: a 2 BHK across Gurgaon comes out near Rs 30,000 a month over roughly 4,200 live listings, but that single figure covers a Rs 14,000 flat in Sector 84 and a Rs 70,000 flat in Sector 65.

So the useful question is never "what is rent in Gurgaon". It is which belt you are renting in, and what the belt costs you in commute. This page is the ladder, belt by belt, with the numbers we checked against live listings on the day of writing.

The Gurgaon rent ladder, belt by belt

Two things about this table. First, every band is a band because furnishing moves the same flat 30 to 40 per cent — an unfurnished 2 BHK and a fully furnished one in the same tower are not the same product. Second, the belts overlap: a tired 3 BHK in DLF Phase 3 and a new one in Sector 102 can ask the same rent for very different lives.

Where the cheap rent actually is

New Gurgaon, meaning the Sector 82 to 95 band along the Pataudi Road and NH-48 side, is the cheapest society stock in the city. A decent 2 BHK there runs Rs 14,000 to Rs 22,000, and a 3 BHK in Sector 89 or 92 can be had between Rs 22,000 and Rs 30,000. That is roughly a third of the Golf Course Road rent for the same number of bedrooms.

Worth flagging honestly: sources disagree on this belt. Some rent trackers put Sectors 82 to 89 at Rs 28,000 to Rs 40,000 for a 2 BHK, which is double the figure above. Both are true of different stock — the low band is older DLF New Town Heights and Pyramid-type inventory, the high band is newer, larger and furnished. Check the specific society, not the sector average.

Below the society market there is a genuine sub-Rs 12,000 rental economy in Badshahpur, Chakkarpur, Wazirabad and the urban villages: independent floors and single rooms, often 800 sq ft for around Rs 10,000, sometimes Rs 5,000 to Rs 8,000 for a room. It is real housing for the people who staff the city, and it does not appear on the premium portals. Our affordable flats guide covers the buy side of the same belts.

Where the rent goes, and what it buys

At the other end, Golf Course Road is where Gurgaon prices like a global city. A 3 BHK averages about Rs 82,000 a month, and the real listings run higher: Rs 90,000 for a semi-furnished 3 BHK in Sector 54, Rs 1.2 lakh in Sector 53, Rs 1.5 lakh for a 2,800 sq ft unit. DLF Phase 5 furnished 3 BHKs sit around Rs 80,000. The Rapid Metro runs down the middle of it, which is the one belt in Gurgaon where a car is genuinely optional.

The DLF Phases 1 to 3 are the commute play rather than the luxury one. A 2 BHK there is Rs 32,000 to Rs 48,000 and a 3 BHK Rs 70,000 to Rs 1.1 lakh, and what you are buying is the ability to walk or take a five-minute cab to Cyber City. The stock is older builder floors more than towers, so expect character rather than a clubhouse.

If you want the belt-by-belt detail, each one has its own page in this batch — start with Golf Course Road, DLF Phase 3, Sohna Road or New Gurgaon.

What the rent tells you about buying

Gurgaon's city-wide rental yield is about 2.7% a year, which is low. The better micro-markets do materially better: Sectors 82 and 89 in New Gurgaon run 3.8% to 4.5%, because rents there have held while capital values stayed moderate. On Golf Course Road the yield is thinner still, since a Rs 1.2 lakh rent sits on a flat worth several crore.

That gap is the single most useful thing a tenant can know, because it tells you where you are renting cheaply relative to the asset. If you are weighing renting against buying in the same belt, the Gurgaon market guide and our note on where prices go next are the other half of the calculation.

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 average flat rent in Gurgaon?

A 2 BHK averages close to Rs 30,000 a month and a 3 BHK about Rs 40,000, across roughly 4,200 live 2 BHK listings. The useful figure is the belt, though: the same 2 BHK is Rs 14,000 in Sector 84 and Rs 70,000 in Sector 65.

Which is the cheapest area to rent a flat in Gurgaon?

New Gurgaon, the Sector 82 to 95 band, is the cheapest society stock at roughly Rs 14,000 to Rs 22,000 for a 2 BHK. Below that, independent floors in Badshahpur, Chakkarpur and the urban villages start near Rs 8,000 to Rs 10,000.

How much security deposit do landlords ask for in Gurgaon?

Two to three months' rent on an unfurnished society flat, and three to six on furnished or premium stock. There is no legal cap in Haryana — the two-month cap people quote is from the Model Tenancy Act, which Haryana has not adopted.

Is brokerage payable on a rental in Gurgaon?

Customarily one month's rent, and it is negotiable. On society flats the broker is often paid by the landlord as well, so ask what the arrangement is before you view rather than after you like the flat.

Do I have to deduct TDS on my Gurgaon rent?

If you are an individual or HUF paying more than Rs 50,000 a month, yes — 2% under Section 194-IB, down from 5% since 1 October 2024. It is deducted once, in the last month of the tenancy or the financial year, and paid with Form 26QC.

Is a rent agreement in Gurgaon usually 11 months?

Yes, and for a specific reason: registration becomes compulsory once a lease runs past a year. Eleven months on an e-stamp certificate avoids that. A registered lease of up to five years attracts stamp duty of 1.5% of the average annual rent.
