Real Estate Rental & Leasing Services

Our standard brokerage is one month's rent, paid one-time at lease signing - split equally between owner and tenant (half month each) or as mutually agreed. For commercial properties, it's typically 1-2 months' rent depending on lease duration and property value. There are no recurring charges - just a one-time fee. For property management services, we charge 5-8% of monthly rent as management fee. All charges are transparently discussed upfront with no hidden costs.

Our comprehensive tenant verification includes: (1) Identity verification - Aadhaar, PAN card validation, (2) Address proof - current and permanent address verification, (3) Employment verification - salary slips, offer letter, HR contact verification for salaried; business registration and GST for self-employed, (4) Reference checks - contacting previous landlords and personal references, (5) Background check - any criminal or legal case verification through databases, (6) Credit check (for commercial tenants) - financial stability assessment. This process takes 2-3 days ensuring only trustworthy tenants.

For tenants: Aadhaar card, PAN card, passport-size photos, address proof (utility bill/license), employment proof (salary slips/business registration), bank statements (last 3 months), previous rent receipts (if applicable). For property owners: Property ownership documents (sale deed/registry), latest property tax receipt, Encumbrance Certificate (EC), NOC from society (if applicable), Aadhaar and PAN card. We assist in obtaining any missing documents and guide through the entire documentation process for smooth lease execution.

Security deposit typically ranges from 2-10 months' rent depending on property type and location. Residential properties: Usually 2-3 months' rent in most cities, up to 10 months in some metro cities (though caps exist in some states). Commercial properties: 3-6 months' rent, sometimes higher for large spaces. The deposit is refundable at lease end after deducting any damages or unpaid dues. We ensure proper deposit documentation with post-dated cheques or bank guarantees, and facilitate smooth deposit return at lease termination.

Yes, registration is mandatory for lease agreements exceeding 11 months duration in most states as per the Registration Act. Benefits include: legal validity in courts, serves as address proof, required for police verification, protects both parties' rights. Registration involves visiting the sub-registrar office, paying stamp duty (typically 0.25-1% of annual rent) and registration fee (₹500-5,000). We handle the entire registration process including document preparation, slot booking, and accompaniment to the registrar office ensuring hassle-free legal compliance.

Early termination depends on lease agreement terms. Most agreements include: (1) Lock-in period - typically 11-24 months where neither party can terminate without penalty, (2) Notice period - 1-3 months' written notice required before vacating, (3) Early termination penalty - if terminating during lock-in, usually 2-3 months' rent forfeiture from security deposit. However, in case of job transfers or genuine emergencies, flexible terms can be negotiated. We recommend clearly discussing lock-in and termination clauses during lease drafting to avoid future disputes.

Maintenance responsibility is clearly defined in the lease agreement: Owner's responsibility - structural repairs (walls, roof, foundation), major plumbing/electrical work, common area maintenance (in apartments), property tax. Tenant's responsibility - minor repairs, regular upkeep, fixture maintenance, utility bills, internal painting/minor damages. For our managed properties, we coordinate all maintenance - receiving tenant complaints, arranging repairs, ensuring timely resolution. Emergency repairs (major leaks, electrical issues) are handled immediately with owner approval. Clear maintenance clauses prevent disputes.

The entire process from property search to move-in typically takes 7-10 days for well-prepared parties: Day 1-2: Property search and shortlisting. Day 3-4: Site visits and selection. Day 5-6: Documentation and verification. Day 7-8: Agreement drafting and approval. Day 9: Registration and payment. Day 10: Handover and move-in. This timeline assumes both parties have documents ready and verification clears smoothly. Commercial properties may take slightly longer (10-15 days) due to more complex negotiations and documentation. We expedite wherever possible for urgent requirements.
