Renting a property in Jaipur isn’t just about the monthly rent. There are multiple hidden costs that first-time tenants often overlook.

Let’s break it down:

Security Deposit

Generally 1–2 months’ rent for residential, and 3–6 months for commercial spaces. Always clarify the refund process.

Maintenance Charges

Varies by property type. Gated communities or high-rises may charge ₹500 to ₹5000/month for upkeep.

Utility Bills

Water, electricity, gas — understand if these are included or need to be paid separately.

Brokerage Fee

Usually one month’s rent, but with Rento transparent, fair, and value-driven.

Stamp Duty & Agreement Charges

Typically split between landlord and tenant; important for legal validity.
Pro Tip from Rento: Always ask for a rent receipt and written agreement. It protects both parties.
