What deposit and brokerage should I expect?
For flats in Mumbai, a deposit of two to three months’ rent is typical, and some landlords ask for more. We found no sourced norm for PG beds, so read the deposit and refund clause in each agreement rather than assuming one.
Brokerage is commonly one month’s rent, sometimes plus GST, and who pays is negotiable. There is no official norm.
On Pakka Stay, every stay shows its own deposit in months and the cash you need before moving in, from the rate card a broker photographs on the visit.
Does the agreement have to be registered?
Section 55 of the Maharashtra Rent Control Act, 1999 says every leave and licence agreement must be in writing and registered, and puts the duty to register on the landlord.
IGR Maharashtra’s e-Registration lets both sides draft, sign and register the agreement online, without visiting a sub-registrar’s office.
Real estate agents in Maharashtra need a MahaRERA agent registration. You can look an agent up by name or number on the MahaRERA portal.
Pay a deposit only against a signed, registered agreement. Red flags to watch for
