A managed PG should provide more than a bed. Residents depend on the property for essential utilities, room upkeep, access arrangements and support when something goes wrong. The exact facilities will differ between properties and branches, but every offering should clearly explain what is available, what is included in rent and what residents must manage themselves.
Use this checklist to compare facilities during a property visit. Verify each item in the actual branch and room instead of relying only on general website descriptions. Do not assume that every Oxygen PG branch has identical facilities.
1. A suitable furnished room
Check the bed and mattress, personal storage, locks, ventilation, lighting, charging points and usable floor space. For shared rooms, ask how beds and cupboards are assigned.
Furniture quality matters, but basic cleanliness, safety and maintenance are equally important.
2. Reliable water and bathroom facilities
Verify water availability, drinking-water arrangements, hot-water timings, bathroom sharing and cleaning responsibilities. Inspect taps, drainage, ventilation and overall condition.
3. Wi-Fi and mobile connectivity
Ask whether Wi-Fi is included, how coverage performs in the selected room and what support is available during outages. Residents working from home should also check mobile signal, desk space and power points.
4. Electricity and power backup
Understand how electricity is charged and which areas or devices are supported during an outage. “Power backup” may have time or load limits, so ask for the exact branch arrangement.
5. Access and common-area security
Check entry procedures, room locks, staff contacts, visitor rules and CCTV coverage in appropriate common areas. CCTV is only one part of safety; clear procedures and responsible management are also necessary.
6. Housekeeping and maintenance support
Ask how often rooms and common areas are cleaned, which tasks are included and how repair requests are reported. Inspect shared spaces as well as the bedroom.
7. Laundry and drying arrangements
Confirm whether washing machines, laundry services or drying areas are available and whether usage is included or charged separately. Ask about timings and resident responsibilities.
8. Food, kitchen and dining facilities
If food is offered, verify meals, timings, inclusions and extra charges. If self-cooking is permitted, inspect the kitchen, storage, appliances, ventilation and cleaning rules.
9. Refrigerator, storage and common amenities
Check whether refrigerators, lockers, dining areas, gyms, recreation rooms or other amenities are available at the selected branch. Do not assume that a facility listed for one location exists everywhere.
10. Resident support and transparent rules
A managed property should provide clear contacts for maintenance and emergencies, written payment terms, receipts and understandable house rules. Ask how complaints, deliveries and move-out requests are handled.

How can I test Wi-Fi before moving in?
Ask about coverage in the actual room and, where possible, run a practical test during the visit.
What should I ask about power backup?
Confirm which areas or devices are supported, expected duration or limitations and whether there are additional charges.

Corridors, kitchens, wash areas and waste handling show how the property is maintained beyond the displayed bedroom.
Conclusion
The best facility checklist is one you verify in person. Compare the actual room, essential utilities, common areas, costs and support process at the selected branch. Reconfirm current facilities and availability before paying or moving in.
