Security deposit

Under the Maharashtra Rent Control Act, landlords can typically collect a security deposit equivalent to a maximum of 3 months' rent for residential properties. This deposit must be refunded upon tenancy termination, minus any legitimate deductions for damages beyond normal wear and tear.

Notice period

A standard one-month notice period is customary for terminating a PG rental agreement in Mumbai, as per the Maharashtra Tenancy Act. Ensure this is explicitly mentioned in your agreement. Written notices, even via a dated WhatsApp thread, are generally admissible.

Rent receipt

Landlords are legally obligated to provide a signed rent receipt for every payment. This receipt must include the amount, date, period covered, property address, and signatures of both parties. Always insist on a physical or digital receipt for your records and proof of payment.

Red flags to watch

Request for payment before showing the property.. PG photos appear too generic or high-end for the quoted rent.. Landlord or agent avoids video calls or live property tours.. Pressure to finalize quickly without a proper agreement review.
