Under the Maharashtra Rent Control Act, security deposits are capped at six months' rent. In Powai, deposits typically range from 2-3 months. Landlords must refund the deposit within 30 days of vacating, minus legitimate damages or unpaid dues. Ensure a detailed move-in inspection.
A one-month notice period is standard for vacating a PG. Provide written notice, ideally via email. In Maharashtra, WhatsApp communication is increasingly admissible in legal proceedings as proof of notice, but formal email is preferred.
Landlords are legally obligated to provide rent receipts upon payment. These receipts must include the amount, date, property address, and landlord's signature. Always collect receipts; they serve as proof of payment and for HRA claims.
