What to know before you rent
- Deposits
- The central Model Tenancy Act, 2021 caps security deposits at two months' rent for homes (six months for non-residential), but it applies only where a state or union territory has adopted it; elsewhere older state rent laws and local custom apply. (source, 2021)
- Leases
- Under the Model Tenancy Act every tenancy must be in a written agreement and reported to the local Rent Authority within two months, which then issues a unique identification number. (source, 2021)
