Getting your full security deposit back when you move out of a rented flat in Bangalore comes down to timing, documentation and a clean handover. Here's a practical checklist.
Before You Give Notice
- Check your rental agreement for the required notice period, usually 1-2 months
- Take photos of the flat's current condition as a record
- Note down electricity, water and gas meter readings
In the Final Week
- Book your packers and movers 5-7 days ahead
- Arrange for basic cleaning after your furniture is removed
- Fix any minor damage you're responsible for (nail holes, scratches) if required by your agreement
On Handover Day
- Do a walkthrough with your landlord or property manager
- Return all keys, access cards and remotes
- Get the deposit refund timeline in writing or over a recorded message
