Critical Red Flags
Automatic Renewal: Lease renews for another year without notice, preventing you from moving or negotiating.
Uncapped Rent Increases: Landlord can raise rent anytime without a pre-agreed percentage cap (standard is 5-10%).
Repair Deductibles: Tenant pays first ₹5000 of *any* repair, including structural issues like leaking roofs.
Guest Restrictions: Unreasonable bans on overnight guests or family members staying for short periods.
Must-Have Clauses
Security Deposit Refund (Lock-in): Strict timeline for refund (typically 15 days from handover).
Notice Period: Fixed 1-2 month notice period for both parties, with clearly defined 'early exit' options.
Maintenance Responsibilities: Clear distinction between minor repairs (tenant) and major/structural (landlord).
Inventory & Condition Report: A signed list of all furniture, fittings, and their current condition at handover.
