Giving your home for rent: details to keep ready

Start with the locality, property type, BHK and approximate size. Mention the parking and furnishing. Tell us if you own the home, jointly own it or are helping the owner.

Share your expected rent and advance if decided. If someone stays there now, explain when visits may be possible and when the home could be ready.

• Area, property type and BHK.
• Furnishing and expected rent.
• Occupancy and ready date.

Describe the home as it is today. Keep painting, cleaning and repair work still planned separate from work already completed. Give a realistic ready date.

Make a list of furniture and appliances included. Mention any part that is shared or not included. Clear details help both sides understand what they are discussing.

• Present condition.
• Work still pending.
• Included and shared spaces.

Choose who holds the keys and who can confirm a visit. If you live elsewhere, explain the arrangement with the local contact. Ask the present occupants before fixing appointments.

Tell us who will discuss rent and make decisions. A person arranging access may not be the person deciding the terms. Keep these roles clear from the start.

• Key and visit contact.
• Convenient visiting times.
• Owner or decision contact.
