Maharashtra Rent Control Act allows landlords to collect up to six months' rent as security deposit for residential premises. In Powai, typical PG deposits range from two to three months' rent. Landlords are legally obligated to refund the full deposit within 15 days of tenancy termination, provided the property is returned in good condition.
A 30-day notice period is standard for PG tenancy termination. Always provide written notice, preferably a signed letter. While digital communications like WhatsApp can be admissible, a formal written notice ensures clarity.
Landlords must issue rent receipts for all payments, essential for HRA claims. Receipts require the date, amount, landlord's PAN, and property address. Always demand and retain these to maintain clear financial records.
Demanding advance payment before property viewing or agreement signing.. Pressure to pay via UPI to a personal account, not a verified business entity.. Listings with generic stock photos or vague, non-specific location details.. Unusually low rent for prime Powai locations without a clear, logical reason.
