\"HowHow To Calculate The Fair Rental Value Of A Home?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Here are the top 3 ways you can use to calculate fair rental value of your home –<\/span><\/p>\n

1.\u00a0 Check The Rental Yield To Calculate Fair Rental Value<\/b><\/h2>\n

A rental yield is the percentage of the property value that you may earn from its yearly rental returns.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This figure indicates the rental profits you could generate from your home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To earn reasonable profits, the rental yield should be between 3% to 4% of the market value of your residential property.<\/b><\/p>\n

\"HowSo, if your property is worth 80 lakhs, its annual rent will range from INR 2 to 3 lakhs, with monthly rent ranging from 16,600 to 23,300.<\/span><\/p>\n

To calculate the fair rental value of your home – <\/span>you must set the rental rate as per the demand and supply equation in your locality.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

If the demand is high for rental homes but supply is low in your area – you can set the rental rate at 4% but not exceed it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, if the demand is low, then you should set the rate at 3%.<\/span><\/p>\n
