Hi Manik,

I am living in Bangalore and now am vacating the place. I rented a 3BHK. I have lived in this house for 2years and 2 months and now the owner is insisting that I paint the flat and give it to him or he paints it and he will deduct it from the deposit amount. His quote is over a lakh while I got a quote for Rs. 12,500.

At the moment, I have the keys to the flat.

Hi Manik,

I echo your sentiments and incidentally (!!!) I placed my order also on 5th April 2012.

I stay in Pilani (Rajasthan) and there are no good options available for baby stuff. Therefore,I am a regular buyer from various prominent baby stuff websites. I have had very good experience with FirstCry and MybabyCart - both with excellent delivery and services (delivery in

Hi Arunima,

I'm very glad to know that my feedback has reached the founders of babyoye.com. Thank you for visiting & taking the time to comment. I appreciate your response and the explanation.

I would like to point out that although my 2nd order was delivered as per expectation, the overall experience was less than satisfactory (see points #b & #d below).

Hi Manik,

I am staying in an apartment in bangalore from the past 2.5 years. I need too vacate the apartment now.

Owner is demanding me to paint the house. In the rental agreement painting is not mentioned.

Can I tell him that I will not get it painted??

@Anonymous Thanks!

@Laitha Sorry, I don't. In fact, I would not recommend going to a rental agency. Asking a trusted friend for help would be a better idea.

@Anonymous It's not a legal thing for sure. You can try posting an Ad in Wanted section on Classified sites. Or you could post your requirement on some Corporate mailing lists stating your requirements. You might get lucky.

Thanks Upasana

Hi, is the 10 months rent deposit a legal thing or just a custom in Bangalore. Is it possible to find an apartment with just 2 months rent deposit? I find the 10 month rent system really ridiculous.

2011-07-10T22:34:54.765+05:30

@Nitin Whether it's a valid demand or not is subjective. IMO: if you aren't leaving, the demand does sound a little strange.

@Rent in house fan: Thanks!

@Sarita Haven't heard of the new law but it would be wonderful if the news is true. I think the bigger problem is that there's no standard framework/law defining tenancy terms and conditions, due to which

2011-06-07T16:37:15.396+05:30

hi, i am told that there is now a law in place which reduces the usual 10 month advance rent paid to the landlord to 3 months - is this correct? it would be fantastic because bangalore really indulges in a kind of tenant arm twisting with this huge advance unlike many other big cities which normally ask for just 2 to 3 months advance rent.

2011-05-12T02:17:55.156+05:30

Wow I am seriously impressed by the amount of research that you put into this and all for the benefit of others. Well us "others" thank you for it. I'm glad you put that advice in about looking at the surrounding area. So many people move into what they think is the perfect place only to find out that the neighborhood isn't worth living in.

Re: Anonymous (Oct 27)
Yes, should suffice. You should consult a lawyer for legal aspects though.

Re: Anonymous (Nov 28)
No, there's no such standard rule as such. But if it's in your agreement, and you've signed up for it, that's another matter.

Hi,

Just wanted to know, for rental agreement purpose paper from 'Registration and Stamp Department, Karnataka Govt' would suffice or not? Will I be able to go for legal proceedings based on this agreement? Please suggest.
