Deposits to Repairs: What are the New Rental Rules?

You know how tense the landlord-tenant relationship often feels. Rights clash, responsibilities blur, and arguments follow. With India’s rental market growing fast, clear rules have become essential for fairness on both sides.

The new rent rules introduced in 2025 aim to bring that clarity. A key change caps the security deposit at two months’ rent, helping you reduce upfront costs when shifting cities for work or study. Digital stamping and online registration of rental agreements within 60 days adds transparency and legal backing.

You also see stronger tenant protection. Landlords must follow due legal process before eviction. They must give 90 days’ written notice before a rent hike, and 24 hours’ notice before entering for inspection or repairs. If they ignore repair requests for 30 days, tenants can fix issues and deduct the cost from rent.

These rules encourage a healthier rental culture built on trust, accountability and written rights instead of conflict. They protect tenants while ensuring landlords operate transparently under defined obligations.
