Common questions
Can the society refuse a tenant?It can ask for registration and verification; refusing a tenant for reasons like food habits or religion is not lawful. A reasonable NOC process is normal.
Who pays the move-in charge?Whatever the agreement says; conventionally the tenant pays move-in/out charges and the landlord pays transfer-type levies.
Is police verification compulsory?In most cities, landlords are required to file tenant verification with the police; associations enforce it. It is done online in Kerala and Karnataka.
