PG Management Software in Chennai
Chennai has many PGs and hostels near its IT corridor and colleges, and owners often track rent for many beds in a notebook or an Excel sheet. GharDesk (also searched as Ghar Desk) is PG and hostel management software for Indian owners. If you run a PG in Chennai, you can see every room and bed, record rent with one tap, share a receipt on WhatsApp and know exactly who still owes money. It works on your phone, tablet or laptop, and your tenants do not need to install anything.

Made for PG and hostel owners in Chennai
Whether your property is in OMR, Velachery, Guindy, Tambaram and Anna Nagar, or anywhere else in Chennai, the way you work is the same: rooms, beds, monthly rent, deposits and move-outs. GharDesk keeps all of it in one place. If you own several properties in different areas of Chennai, the Professional and Business plans let you manage them all from one login, with one list of dues.
