Rent and tenant basics (India)

Deposits, notices, and common landlord–tenant frictions explained in everyday language.

Write it down

Rent agreements, deposit receipts, and written notices reduce confusion. Rules and stamp requirements differ by state.

Common flashpoints

Deposit refunds, sudden eviction threats, unpaid rent, and repair disputes. Keep polite, factual records of every exchange.

Not a one-size answer

Local rent control, leave-and-licence practice, and court timelines vary. General guidance cannot replace advice on your exact documents.
