Short-Term Leasing in Mumbai: Is it Possible to Rent a Property for 2-6 Months?
While Mumbai's real estate market typically favors long-term leases, property owners can rent out their properties for shorter durations, albeit at a premium rate.

In Mumbai, property owners sign a leave and license agreement with tenants, which requires a stamp duty to be paid at the time of registration. The stamp duty amount depends on the monthly rental and deposit charged by the property owner. On average, around 30,000 leave and license agreements are signed and registered with the registry office of the Maharashtra government every month.
Brokers note that property owners who rent their apartments for a shorter period generally charge higher rentals as options in this segment are limited. 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. 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.
Recently, Agni Commex LLP gave 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, Mumbai. While the rental period is only six months, the per sq ft rent charged is ₹700, which is higher than the usual ₹500 to 550 per sq ft charged for properties in BKC.
