Features Of Renting A House

how to rent out property features

The Model Tenancy Act, of 2021, states that the landlord and the tenant must sign a mutual agreement. This act reserves the right of the owner and the tenants as well. 

There are specific features of this act which are provided in the following:

  • Agreement with tenants: Before renting the property, there should be a proper written agreement that must be signed by both the landlord and tenant. This agreement will include different elements like the tenancy period, rent specifications, security deposit, etc. 
  • Security deposit: The security deposit includes 2 months’ rent for the residential premise and 6 months’ rent for non-residential purposes. The landlord will be liable to make valuable deductions from the security deposit and refund the rest of the deposit. 
  • Tenancy period: When the tenancy period is about to end, the tenants can request to renew the extension of the tenancy period. The tenant is liable to pay enhanced rent when the tenancy period already ended and has not been renewed. The tenant is also liable to pay twice the monthly rent for the first two months and 4 times the monthly rent till the property is occupied. 
  • Eviction: If there is a situation of eviction, then it can only be done when the tenancy period has been over, the tenancy period also gets ended, or the tenant fails to vacate the property after the tenancy period is over.  
  • Sub-letting: Sub-letting will be prohibited with a supplementary agreement. The rent authority must be informed by the landlord and the tenants within two months from the date of execution.

Real estate is a vast business with a lucrative investment option for everyone. However, you should also consider all the risks associated with it. 

Below are some tips which are required to be considered:

  • Rental returns: It should be noted that in most cities the rental yield is around 2-3%. However, the rental return is always Inflation adjusted. You can revise the rental agreement every year considering the supply in the market. 
  • Bear the potential expenses: If your house is tenant ready, it will attract tenants to put on an agreement with you. You should paint your house every time a tenant vacates. You should also do major repairs whenever there is a requirement. Consider these as an investment on your property to get a return from it. 
  • Risk of vacancy: This is a common risk borne by the owners as a lot of time, the house can remain vacant after the previous tenant has left. During this time there will be a disruption in cash flow. It is important that when the tenants have notified you about their moving out, you start advertising about your vacant place so that you get the next tenants immediately.  
  • Issues with tenants: Many tenants do not pay their rent on time and they also might misuse your property. This risk is always there, hence, you should be watchful of your tenants.
