Price it right
Check similar listings in your locality on HousingPal before setting the rent. Overpriced listings sit vacant; underpriced ones attract the wrong tenants. Aim for the median in your area.
Write a compelling description
Mention unique features — proximity to IT parks, metro stations, hospitals, or schools. Phrases like "24/7 security", "power backup", and "dedicated parking" significantly increase interest.
Set clear availability date
Always mention when the property is available. Tenants filter by move-in date. If it's currently occupied, state the notice period clearly.
Mention preferred tenant
Whether you prefer families, bachelors, or working professionals — state it upfront. This avoids awkward conversations later and saves everyone's time.
Respond within 2 hours
Tenants enquire on multiple listings simultaneously. If you don't respond quickly, they move on. Enable notifications on your HousingPal account to never miss an enquiry.
Schedule viewings efficiently
Batch your viewings on weekends or in groups. Provide clear directions or drop a Google Maps pin. A well-presented property can be rented same-day.
Do I need a rent agreement?
Yes. A registered rent agreement protects both parties. For tenancies under 11 months, a notarised agreement (₹500 stamp paper) is common in Hyderabad. For longer periods, register it at the sub-registrar's office.
What documents should I collect from tenants?
Aadhaar card, PAN card or passport, 3 months' salary slips or bank statements, current address proof, and two passport photos. For company employees, an employment letter is also helpful.
How much deposit can I ask for?
In Hyderabad, 2–3 months' rent as security deposit is standard. More than 3 months is generally considered excessive and may discourage good tenants.
How do I handle deposit refunds?
Return the deposit within 30 days of vacating (after deducting any legitimate damages). Always do a joint walkthrough and photograph any damages before the tenant leaves.
Is annual rent increase allowed?
Yes, typically 5–10% per year. This must be specified clearly in the rental agreement. Give tenants at least 30 days' notice before implementing any increase.
