Security deposit

Maharashtra Rent Control Act governs security deposits. Typically, landlords in Powai request 1-2 months' rent as a security deposit. Renters are entitled to a full refund upon vacating, provided there is no damage beyond normal wear and tear and all dues are cleared. A proper move-out inspection protects your rights.

Notice period

A one-month notice period is standard for PG accommodations in Mumbai. Ensure you communicate your intent to vacate in writing, for instance, via WhatsApp, as digital communication is increasingly admissible as evidence.

Rent receipt

Landlords must provide rent receipts for all payments. These receipts should include the amount, date, property address, tenant and landlord names, and PAN if the annual rent exceeds ₹1 lakh. Keep these for your records.

Red flags to watch

Request for advance payment before visit.. Unrealistically low rent for Powai's amenities.. No video call tour or physical inspection offered.. Demands for personal documents before agreement draft.
