The short answer
In Mumbai, Thane, and Navi Mumbai, tenancies are governed by the Maharashtra Rent Control Act 1999. Landlords execute 11-month Leave & License agreements using mandatory e-registration (biometric thumbprint verification). Stamp duty is 0.25% of the total rent plus deposit. TenantsFlo simplifies multi-property rent tracking across Mumbai suburbs. Learn more in our Excel vs TenantsFlo comparison.
Mandatory e-Registration of Leave & License Agreements
Under Section 55 of the Maharashtra Rent Control Act, registering a Leave & License agreement is the sole responsibility of the landlord. Failing to register carries up to 3 months imprisonment or fines.
Security deposit rules & Police Intimation in Mumbai
Mumbai landlords typically collect 3 to 6 months of rent as a security deposit. Police verification (intimation) must be filed online via the Mumbai Police portal (asp.mumbaipolice.gov.in) before handing over keys.
