Planning to rent a house in Mysore for around ₹15 lakhs, and taking a bank loan for it. Worried about getting cheated by the broker or owner? What precautions should I take to ensure a smooth and legal rental experience, especially considering it’s my hard-earned money?

Before signing any agreement, verify the owner’s identity and property documents with the local authorities. Additionally, ensure the rental agreement clearly outlines the terms and conditions, including rent payment, maintenance responsibilities, and termination clauses, and get it registered with the sub-registrar’s office for legal protection.
