Finding a roommate or flatmate in Delhi
People looking for shared flats in Delhi most often search in Lajpat Nagar, Saket, Malviya Nagar, Laxmi Nagar, Kamla Nagar (North Campus) and Rajouri Garden. The metro reaches almost every neighbourhood, so living a short walk from a station usually matters more than the area itself; many people working in Gurugram or Noida share flats close to the Yellow or Blue lines.
A private room in a shared flat in Delhi typically costs roughly ₹10,000 to ₹25,000 a month, depending on the area, furnishing and whether the room has its own bathroom. Landlords usually ask for a deposit of one to three months' rent, and more in some cities, so agree on who holds the deposit and how it is split before anyone moves in.
Before you commit, visit the flat in person, meet the people you'll live with, and agree on the basics: how rent and bills are split, whether there is a cook or maid, guests, food habits and quiet hours. Namaste Hub listings show these preferences up front so you can skip flats that won't suit you.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a shared room cost in Delhi?
Roughly ₹10,000–₹25,000 a month for a private room in a shared flat, plus your share of electricity, internet and help. Twin-sharing rooms cost less.
Which areas in Delhi are popular for flatmates?

How do I avoid roommate and rental scams?
Never pay a token amount or deposit before you have seen the flat and met the owner or current flatmates. Ask for the rental agreement and the owner's ID, and use in-app chat until you trust the person.
Can I post that I'm looking for a room in Delhi?
Yes. Post a "Looking for a room" listing on Namaste Hub with your budget, preferred areas and move-in date, and people with a free room can message you.
