Query around rental agreement
We are planning to rent an apartment but we want to rent it for minimum 3 years to avoid hassle. So planning to have a minimum 3 years agreement. So two queries around it:
- What should be yearly %increase in rent advisable
- Even for longer term agreement, owner can give 2 months notice for vacating. So how do we protect against it
Thanks
5-10% in hyd
5% is the standard increase. And 1-2 months of the standard notice period on the agreement but it depends on the owner- tenant relationship by and large.
Are you ready to pay stamp duty?
If rent agreement is of more than 11 months then you will need to pay stamp duty.
2 months notice IS the protection. That is a lot of time to find another tenant for most cities.
