Yes ! Normally PG owners in Bangalore ask you to make a Deposit of One month Rent. There are few PG Accommodations in Bangalore where the PG owners do not ask for any deposit. But there are few conditions to get back the deposit.
There are many people who complain about not getting their security deposit while vacating from the PG. The reason is , the PG owners inform you to tell them a month before you vacate the PG for them to refund your Deposit. Many Guests forget this or they might have to vacate suddenly to move to another city or another area. In Such cases , PG owners do not return the deposit stating that you haven't informed them in advance.

In Bangalore, the rents are very High ! Plus If you need to rent a house, you will have to pay 10 months of rent as security deposit and also bear the electricity/ water bill Charges. And food has to be cooked by you ! For students / working professionals , it may be difficult to meet these expenses. But in Paying Guest (PG), you just have to pay one month rent in advance and you can move in with your baggage. You get a fully furnished Room with LED TV, WI-FI, Food, Washing machine, etc etc. So staying in PG is preffered over a House or Room.
