Security deposit

Under the Maharashtra Rent Control Act, 1999, security deposits are capped at six months' rent. In Chembur, landlords typically ask for 2-3 months' rent. Ensure your agreement specifies refund conditions upon vacating the premises, provided no damages or outstanding dues are present.

Notice period

A standard 1-month notice period is customary before vacating your PG. Communicate intent in writing, via email or documented WhatsApp, as these are increasingly considered admissible evidence for legal clarity.

Rent receipt

Landlords must issue rent receipts for every payment. Receipts require landlord's PAN (for rent over ₹50,000/year), tenant's name, address, amount, and date. Crucial for HRA claims.

Red flags to watch
