However, the rent charged for a shorter duration is generally 20% higher than the market rate. This is because the supply of properties that can be leased for a shorter duration is less than properties available in the market for a longer duration.
Property owners in Mumbai sign a leave and license agreement with the tenants. A stamp duty is to be paid at the time of registering the leave and license agreement. The stamp duty amount depends on the monthly rental and deposit charged by the property owner. On an average, as many as 30,000 leave and license agreements are signed and registered with the registry office of Maharashtra government every month.
A shorter rental agreement attracts premium charges. According to brokers, property owners who rent their apartment for a shorter period generally charge higher rentals as options in this segment are few and far between. For instance, a property that can fetch a monthly rent of ₹500 per sq ft if leased for five years can get ₹600 or ₹700 per month if it is leased for six months.
Recently, Agni Commex LLP had given a commercial space of almost 5830 sq ft on rent to IMC India Securities Pvt Ltd for ₹700 per sq ft per month in BKC in Mumbai. The commercial space located in Maker Maxity 4, an office space in BKC, has been leased to IMC India Securities Pvt Ltd for ₹40.81 lakh per month that works out to be ₹700 per sq ft.
However, real estate brokers said that considering the rental period is only six months, the per sq ft rent charged is ₹700 per sq ft which is higher than the usual ₹500 to 550 per sq ft charged for properties in BKC.
