While the demand is increasing, many owners and tenants continue to overlook one critical document:

⚠️ The Rent Agreement.

The Biggest Mistake Property Owners Make

Many owners focus only on:

✔ Monthly Rent

✔ Security Deposit

✔ Tenant Profile

But fail to properly define:

❌ Notice Period

❌ Lock-in Period

❌ Deposit Refund Terms

❌ GST Restrictions

❌ Company Registration Restrictions

❌ Utility Responsibilities

❌ Property Damage Clauses

These issues often become disputes later.

One of the most common disagreements between owners and tenants.

Questions often arise regarding:

without owner approval.
