FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is rental agreement registration mandatory in Karnataka?

Registration is mandatory for lease terms exceeding 11 months. For shorter terms, a notarized agreement is sufficient but registration is still recommended.

What is the cost of e-stamp paper?

E-stamp paper costs depend on the rent amount and deposit. For a typical 2BHK rental, it ranges from ₹500 to ₹2,000.

How much security deposit is standard in Bangalore?

North Bangalore typically follows a 6-10 month deposit norm, though this is negotiable. The new Model Tenancy Act recommends a maximum of 2 months.
