Renting in India

Before you sign, documents and arrival

Before you sign

  • Residential leases in Maharashtra are "leave and licence" agreements, usually 11 months to 5 years, registered online with the state.
  • Agree the lock-in period and notice period in writing — they matter if your assignment changes.
  • The security deposit is refundable; agree when and how it is returned, and what counts as normal wear.
  • Check that air-conditioners, water filtration, power back-up and parking are written into the agreement.

Documents you will need

  • Passport and visa (and OCI card if you hold one).
  • Employment or assignment letter from your company.
  • Passport photographs and a local contact address for the agreement.

After you arrive

  • Foreign nationals staying more than 180 days register with the FRRO, generally within 14 days of arrival.
  • Form C is your responsibility as the foreign resident: make sure it is filed on the e-FRRO portal and keep a copy.
  • Police verification of the tenant is standard — we arrange it with the agreement.

Questions

What relocating families ask us

Which neighbourhoods do expatriate families choose?
Most choose Bandra West, Worli, Khar West, South Mumbai (Malabar Hill, Breach Candy, Cuffe Parade), Lower Parel or Powai — decided mainly by the school and the office.
How much does a 3-bedroom home cost to rent?
It depends on the neighbourhood — see the rent table on this page, built from homes listed with us right now. Bandra West, Worli and South Mumbai sit at the higher end; Andheri and Powai offer more space for the money.
How are leases structured?
Residential leases are "leave and licence" agreements, usually 11 months to 5 years, registered online with the state, with a refundable security deposit and police verification of the tenant.
Is Mumbai safe for expatriate families?
Mumbai is generally regarded as one of the safer large cities in Asia. Premium buildings have round-the-clock security, CCTV and visitor management.
Is the tap water safe to drink?
We advise against it. Homes we recommend have RO/UV filtration, or sealed 20-litre cans can be delivered.
What is the monsoon like?
The monsoon runs from about June to September. Some low-lying roads flood briefly, so we check drainage, building elevation and parking when we shortlist.
Are homes furnished?
Both furnished and semi-furnished homes are available. Semi-furnished usually includes wardrobes, a fitted kitchen, lights and air-conditioners.
