Quick Jump

1. Benchmark Your Property Against Real Closed Rents

Do not guess your rent based on hearsay from neighbor tea-stall discussions. Check actual closed rates in your micro-pocket on Chennai Rents: - A 2 BHK in Velachery Dhandeeswaram commands ₹20,000–₹24,000. - The same 2 BHK in low-lying Baby Nagar interior streets closes at ₹17,000–₹19,000. Pricing realistically from Day 1 prevents your property from staying vacant for two months (which loses you more money than any minor rent difference).

2. Prepare the Home for Immediate Move-in

Tenants make their emotional decision within the first 90 seconds of walking through the front door: - Fresh coat of neutral emulsion paint (light ivory or off-white). - Replace leaking tap washers, rusted showerheads, and loose flush handles. - Ensure all tubelights and fans operate silently. - Deep-clean the kitchen chimney and exhaust fan grease.

3. Professional Tenant Screening on WhatsApp

When interested tenants reach out, screen them with 3 polite questions before scheduling a physical visit: 1. "Where are you currently employed, and what is your office location?" (Verifies commute feasibility). 2. "How many family members or roommates will be residing?" 3. "What is your target move-in date?" (Serious tenants look within 15–30 days).

4. Executing the 11-Month Lease Agreement

Draft your rental agreement on a ₹100 or ₹200 non-judicial stamp paper. Clearly specify: - Monthly rent amount, due date (e.g. 5th of every month), and mode of bank transfer. - Advance deposit held and conditions for refund upon vacating. - Clear itemization of fixtures, fans, geysers, and AC copper piping. - Both parties and two witnesses sign each page with photocopies of Aadhaar and PAN cards attached.
