Frequently Asked Questions
What is the rental deposit trap in Bengaluru?
The rental deposit trap is a practice where landlords and property management companies in Bengaluru require tenants to pay high security deposits, which are often not returned in full or are unjustly deducted for minor damages or administrative delays.
Why is the rental deposit trap considered a scam?
It is considered a scam because landlords often find ways to deduct large sums from security deposits, citing minor issues, and the process of returning the deposit can be lengthy and cumbersome, causing financial strain for tenants.
What are some steps tenants can take to protect themselves?
Tenants should read the rental agreement carefully, take extensive photos of the property before moving in, join a tenant's association, and seek legal assistance if they encounter issues with their deposit.
Are there laws to protect tenants in Bengaluru?
Yes, there are laws in place to protect tenants, but they are often not enforced. Landlords know that most tenants are unaware of their rights and are unwilling to pursue legal action.
What resources are available for tenants facing rental deposit issues?
Tenants can seek help from tenant's associations, legal aid organizations, and file complaints with the local consumer protection agency or housing authority for assistance.
