🚨 Big Update for Anyone Renting a Home in India - The New Rent Agreement Act 2025 Changes EVERYTHING.

If you’re a tenant or a landlord, these rules will impact your daily life:

• Your rent agreement must be online + digitally stamped, and filed within 60 days. No more vague paper contracts.
• Security deposit capped - max 2 months’ rent for homes, 6 months for commercial spaces.
• Rent hike only after 12 months, and only with a 90-day written notice.
• If you complain about major repairs, the landlord must fix them within 30 days, else you can adjust the cost from rent.
• Landlords can’t just “drop in” - 24-hr written notice is mandatory.
• Eviction needs a legal order from the Rent Tribunal - no forced eviction, no cutting water/electricity, no threats.
• Police verification is compulsory before a tenant moves in.
• Disputes and eviction cases must be resolved within 60 days by the Tribunal.

In simple words:
This Act brings transparency for landlords, safety for tenants, and finally puts an end to India’s “verbal rental agreements era.”

If you rent or plan to rent in 2025 - this is the update you cannot afford to miss. 🏠✨

In several instances, inco-

this difference in value as
