Paying guests (P Gs) will not be allowed to run their own kitchen in the PG accommodation in the city. After nearly two years, the UT Administration has finally defined the term: paying guest. A paying guest can be asked to leave the residential premises by its owner any time, that too without giving a notice. The practice of building owners entering into a rent deed with paying guests to circumvent the law will now be null and void.
According to an estimate of the UT Estate Office, there are more than 500 PG accommodations in the city, mainly in Sectors 15, 19, 22, 27, 32, 35, 40 and 44, of which only 14 are registered.
After obtaining a legal opinion from the UT Legal Remembrancer, the UT Administration has communicated the definition of a paying guest to the Estate Office. On the basis of the definition of a paying guest, the Estate office will now take action against illegal PG accommodations in the city.
A letter sent by the Administration states, “A paying guest is a person such as a student of any class/course or an employee, government or private, or a professional, who is allowed to use a part of a residential premises, either individually or jointly, by its owner or occupier for shelter, with or without food, for a certain period of time, on a payment basis or otherwise, but not allowed to run his/her kitchen (as the common kitchen for all paying guests in the same premises is run by its owner or occupier like in school or college hostels).”
“A paying guest does not mean a tenant or a sub-tenant in a hotel, dharamshala, inn or a similar premises and he/she can be asked to leave the residential premises by its owner or occupier at any time without giving a notice,” the letter states.
