Protect yourself

Renting safely

Sorted can't vet your landlord for you, and no review can promise a person will behave. What we can do is help you structure the deal so a dishonest landlord can't hurt you. Here are checklists for the three moments that matter most.

Note: This is general guidance for renters in India, not legal advice. Rules and documents vary by state and by your situation. For anything high-value or disputed, talk to a qualified lawyer.

Check who you're renting from
Before you pay a token. Confirm the person actually controls the flat, and pay in a way you can trace.
Spot the clauses that bite
Before you sign. The agreement terms that quietly cost renters later.
Protect your deposit
From move-in to move-out. Give yourself the best shot at the full deposit back.
