Fully Furnished Flat for Rent in Gurgaon: Rents and Rules

A furnished flat in Gurgaon asks 30 to 40 per cent more than the identical flat bare. That is the widest single swing in the city's rental pricing — wider than the gap between two adjacent sectors — and it is charged on furniture the landlord bought once and will rent out for a decade.

None of which makes it a bad deal. On a two-year posting, furnishing a 3 BHK yourself and selling it at a loss when you leave costs more than the premium. It just means the number is negotiable, and that what counts as furnished needs pinning down before you sign.

What furnished actually costs

Concrete examples from live listings: a furnished 3 BHK in DLF Phase 5 at Rs 80,000, a furnished 3 BHK at ROF Aalayas in Sector 102 at Rs 34,000, a furnished 1 BHK at DLF Belvedere Towers in Sector 24 at Rs 28,000, and a furnished 600 sq ft 1 BHK in DLF Phase 3 at Rs 22,000.

Furnished, semi-furnished, and what the words hide

There is no standard in Gurgaon. In practice the market uses three rough grades. Unfurnished usually still means fitted wardrobes, modular kitchen cabinets, lights and fans. Semi-furnished adds ACs, a geyser and sometimes a fridge. Fully furnished should mean beds, wardrobes, sofa, dining set, curtains, ACs in every room, fridge, washing machine, microwave and a working geyser in each bathroom.

Should. What you often get for the fully furnished premium is a bed, a wardrobe and two ACs of uncertain vintage. The fix is dull and effective: walk the flat with the listing open, write the inventory down room by room with makes and ages, photograph every appliance, and attach that list to the agreement as an annexure signed by both sides.

Negotiating the premium and the deposit

Two levers. The first is vacancy — a furnished flat that has been empty two months is costing the landlord the whole premium and then some, so ask how long it has been listed. The second is term: offering a two-year agreement with a modest escalation is worth more to most owners than an extra Rs 3,000 a month on eleven.

The deposit is where furnished stock hurts. Three to six months is common, against two to three on bare flats, because there is more to be blamed for at exit. Haryana caps none of this — the Model Tenancy Act limit people cite has not been adopted here — so the annexed inventory list is your only real protection against a deduction dispute.

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.

FAQs

How much more does a furnished flat cost in Gurgaon?

About 30 to 40 per cent over the same flat unfurnished. On a Rs 35,000 bare 2 BHK that is roughly Rs 45,000 to Rs 49,000 furnished, and it is the most negotiable number in the deal.

What should be included in a fully furnished flat in Gurgaon?

Beds, wardrobes, a sofa and dining set, curtains, ACs in every room, a fridge, washing machine, microwave and working geysers. There is no legal standard, so list it as an annexure to the agreement with photographs.

What is the difference between furnished and semi-furnished in Gurgaon?

Semi-furnished usually means the flat has ACs, a geyser and sometimes a fridge, on top of fitted wardrobes and kitchen cabinets. Fully furnished adds the beds, sofa, dining set and white goods.

How much deposit is charged on a furnished flat in Gurgaon?

Commonly three to six months' rent, against two to three on an unfurnished flat. Haryana has no statutory cap, so the deposit is whatever the agreement records.

Is renting furnished worth it in Gurgaon?

For a posting of a year or two, usually yes — buying and reselling furniture costs more than the premium. Past two years the premium exceeds what the furniture is worth, and unfurnished becomes the better deal.
