Living in a PMG is different from traditional rentals. Members only pay one bill every week(or sometimes every two weeks), and it covers a private furnished room, all utilities, and free credit reporting. To be approved, you don’t need a minimum credit score, and you won’t have to pay a big security deposit. PMG reports Membership payments to help their Members build their credit histories and improve their credit scores. Through their partnership withEsusu, 95% of PMG Members have seen an improvement in their credit score. On average, Members save $420 a month while living in a PMG, allowing Members to purchase a car, and pay off their credit cards.

PMG Members can save hundreds of dollars compared with traditional rentals. When you live in a PMG, you pay one bill every week(or sometimes every two weeks) which covers your rent, utilities, and free perks like credit reporting and telehealth services. Not only are you saving money, but you’re building your credit history with each on-time payment.

PMG aims to make booking easy, transparent and affordable. There are three payments that are required in order to book a room:

• Move-In  Fee: The move-in fee covers the cost of cleaning and getting your room  ready for move-in. The move-in fee varies per room but averages $100.
• Membership  Dues: Members with documented income (W-2, 1099, self-employed, SSI) will  have to pay up to 2 weeks and prorated Membership dues before move-in.  Members on unemployment or between jobs must pay a larger portion of dues  upfront.

Your weekly payment covers utilities like electricity, water, heating, and waste management, and wireless internet at no cost to you. All PMG homes come equipped with wireless internet at no extra cost to you. At many homes, there is free on-site parking available. As a Member, you’ll also have access to free 24/7 telemedicine services and credit reporting.

Most PMG homes come with a variety of places to park, including a driveway, a carport or street spots. Please note that there are no assigned parking spots. Occasionally, a Host may restrict vehicles if the maximum number of vehicles at a property is reached. If a PMG is restricting vehicles, it will be visible in a room's listing before booking. If the room you book allows you to bring a vehicle, you are only allowed to bring one vehicle and you must follow their parking rules. Violations are subject to their Three Keys Policy and/or towing.

Yes. To keep your housing affordable, PMG homes are shared by approved Members. All Members must pass a background check before moving into a PMG.

In most PMGs, the Members of the home are responsible for cleaning and purchasing cleaning supplies. Talk to your housemates about a cleaning schedule and how best to share this responsibility and cost. What does a clean home mean?

Kitchen:

• The  sink is always empty and the stove is always spotless.
• Every  time you use a dish, pan or utensil, clean it, dry it and put it away.  Want to soak something? Heat it up and clean it instead.
• Clean  up any splatters on the stove immediately. Put away pots and pans that  aren’t in use. 

Bathroom:

• Shared  bathrooms must be kept clean at all times.
• No  foreign objects may be thrown in the toilets or sinks at any time. This  includes, but is not limited to, feminine products, Wet wipes, packaging,  dental floss and hair. Fixing clogged toilets and sinks can run to several  hundred dollars and these costs will be passed through directly to  members.

Trash:

• All  trash must be thrown in the proper receptacle. Please take out trash  before the receptacle gets too full.
• All  trash must be placed in the proper outside trash bin. Outside trash bins  need to be pulled to the curb on trash day and pulled back to the home  after pickup.

One of the perks of PMG is that you can choose to pay rent weekly or every two weeks. You can select the day of the week that works best for you, and many Members choose their payday! Your payment schedule is selected during the booking process. You can change your payment schedule by calling Member Support, though someruleswill apply.

Both PMG and their Hosts are committed to providing affordable housing for Members, however sometimes rate increases are necessary for a Host to continue operations. Hosts must adhere to the following set of rules when raising room rates:

• Hosts  may not increase a Member's room rate more than once in 6 months
• Hosts  must give 30 days notice of any room rate increase
• Hosts  may not increase the room rate by more than $10 in each of these periods
