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.
