Renting a property in India as a foreigner can be an exciting experience, but it's crucial to understand the rules and regulations. So, can a foreigner rent property in India">Check Out NoBroker’s NRI Property Management Services

As a foreigner, it is necessary to verify your identity and visa status before entering into a rental agreement. The property owner/ landlord will also want to see the  necessary documentation and paperwork before renting house to foreigners.

House rent for foreigners is the same as Indian nationals. The rent and deposit amount is decided by the landlord. When I moved to Delhi from the U.S.A, I made sure to discuss any specific requirements upfront. Usually, the lease agreement is for 11 months. Though,  in India it can range from six months to three years, depending on the landlord's preference. Make sure to clarify the lease term before signing the agreement.

Few landlords have doubts about renting to foreign nationals. You can read about laws that regulate rental agreements in India. Familiarising yourself with these laws (Rent Control Act and the Transfer of Property Act) to avoid any legal issues.

You can check property websites such as NoBroker, 99 acres where landlords renting to foreigners upload their properties online. You can go through the listing and choose a property you like. Renting property in India as a foreigner is possible.

This is all from my end of the rental agreement for foreigners in india. If you have more questions, leave a comment below.

A foreigner can find a rented property to live in India. Although there is a chance that you might be asked for a higher price to stay since you are a foreigner, there are obviously ways to negotiate and get the right price for the right property. 

You can look for thousands of properties listed for renting purposes on NoBroker.

While checking out the foreign apartment rentals you must take a care of a few things:

  • Locality and prices

  • Amenities offered

  • Legal troubles (if any)

  • Connectivity across the city from the location

  • Availability of resources
