2. One-Time & Recurring Charges (what to expect)
Hidden upfront costs often surprise newcomers. Plan for these:

- Documentation: ₹1,000–₹2,000 (agreement & police verification).
- Bachelor Security Deposit: Some societies charge ₹10,000/head. (ZeroSetup Homes: not applicable.)
- Standard Security Deposit: Semi-furnished = 1 month rent; Fully furnished = 2 months rent.
- Society Maintenance Charges: Typically ₹2,500–₹3,000/month. (ZeroSetup Homes absorbs maintenance — you pay only rent.)
