Short-Term Rentals in Mumbai: A Premium Affair
Renting a property in Mumbai for a short duration of 2-6 months is possible, but be prepared to pay a premium, say real estate brokers.

In Mumbai, property owners sign a leave and license agreement with the tenants, which attracts a stamp duty that depends on the monthly rental and deposit charged. On average, around 30,000 leave and license agreements are signed and registered with the registry office of the Maharashtra government every month.
Brokers explain that property owners who rent their apartments for a shorter period charge higher rentals because the supply of such properties is 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, a commercial space of almost 5830 sq ft was leased to IMC India Securities Pvt Ltd for ₹700 per sq ft per month in BKC, Mumbai. While the rent charged seems high, brokers argue that considering the rental period is only six months, it is a premium charge.
information Mumbai, being the financial capital of India, has a thriving real estate market. The city attracts businesses, expats, and individuals who often require short-term rentals. However, the scarcity of properties available for short-term leases creates a premium market.
