Renting out your luxury apartment in Gurgaon can provide steady income, but the quality of the tenant matters as much as the rent. A good tenant pays on time, looks after the home and communicates clearly. A poor tenancy can mean damage, disputes and long vacancies. Careful pricing, marketing and screening make the difference.
This guide explains how landlords prepare, price, market and screen when renting out a luxury apartment. It is written for owners; if you are looking for a home to rent, see our rental guides.
Ready to rent out your apartment?
Tell us about your home and we will advise on rent and marketing, usually the same working day.
Preparing the apartment
Clean thoroughly, repaint if needed, fix any leaks or faults and service appliances and air conditioners. Decide whether to offer the home furnished, semi-furnished or unfurnished. See our guide to preparing your apartment for rental.
Pricing
Price your apartment in line with similar homes in the same building or area, considering size, floor, view, furnishing and amenities. Overpricing can lead to long vacancies; pricing fairly attracts serious tenants sooner. Rents change with demand, so review current listings.
Marketing
| Step | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Professional photos | First impressions online |
| Clear description | Size, furnishing, amenities and rules |
| Inventory | Sets expectations for furnished homes |
| Floor plan | Helps tenants judge layout |
| Ready documents | Speeds up corporate and expatriate leases |
Tenant screening
- Confirm identity and contact details
- Verify employment or business and income
- Ask for references from previous landlords where possible
- Complete police verification as required
- Meet the tenant in person or by video call
Corporate and expatriate tenants
Luxury apartments often attract senior executives and expatriates, sometimes through company leases. These can offer reliable payments but come with specific terms. See our guide to finding corporate tenants.
Screen before you sign
Ask us how we verify tenants and what documents to request before signing a lease.
Lease terms
Your lease should cover rent, deposit, lock-in, notice period, rent escalation, maintenance responsibilities, repairs, use of the property, pets, subletting and handover condition. Have a lawyer draft or review it, and register it where required.
Security deposit
Deposits are often equivalent to a few months’ rent. Agree the refund process and allowable deductions in writing.
Society rules
Inform the society about the tenancy and register the tenant as required. Share the society’s rules with the tenant before signing.
Handover
Do a joint inspection, record the condition of the home and inventory with photos, note meter readings and hand over keys and access cards against a receipt.
During the tenancy
Respond to repair requests promptly, collect rent by bank transfer and keep records. Periodic inspections, with notice, help catch issues early.
Taxes
Rental income is taxable. Keep records of rent and expenses and get advice from a chartered accountant.
Ending the tenancy
At the end, do a joint inspection, compare with the move-in record, agree any deductions in writing and refund the deposit as agreed.
Using a property manager
If you live abroad or lack time, a property manager can handle marketing, screening, rent collection and maintenance. See our guide to property management for NRI landlords.
Who this guide suits
It suits owners of luxury apartments, NRI landlords and investors renting out premium homes.
Furnishing decisions
Luxury tenants often expect a high standard of furnishing, especially corporate and expatriate tenants. If you furnish, choose durable, neutral pieces and quality appliances. If you leave the home unfurnished, make sure kitchens, wardrobes and lighting are in excellent condition.
Maintenance commitments
Agree in the lease who handles which repairs, and keep a list of trusted service providers. Quick responses keep good tenants happy and reduce the risk of small problems becoming expensive.
Insurance
Consider insuring the structure, interiors and contents, and check whether your policy covers rented properties.
Renewals and rent reviews
Plan renewals in advance. A good tenant who stays longer reduces vacancy and marketing costs, so balance rent increases with retention.
Viewings and showings
Arrange viewings at convenient times, keep the home clean and well-lit, and have the inventory and documents ready. Screen enquiries before viewings to save time.
Red flags in tenants
Be cautious of tenants who avoid verification, want to pay large amounts in cash, push to skip the lease or ask to move in immediately without documents.
Keeping records
Keep copies of the lease, inventory, photos, receipts and all communication. Good records help resolve disputes quickly.
Pets and tenants
Decide in advance whether you will accept pets, and record the terms in the lease.
