14+ min ago (267+ words) The central government's Model Tenancy Act, 2021, has brought significant changes to rental rules aimed at protecting both tenants and landlords. From security deposits to repairs and eviction norms, the updated guidelines promise more transparency and fairness in rental agreements. Security Deposit Now Capped Commercial spaces: Up to six months' rent allowed In cities like Bengaluru, where tenants, especially bachelors, are often asked for 10 months' advance, the new rules come as a major relief. Under the updated norms: Residential properties: Security deposit capped at a maximum of two months' rent Commercial spaces: Up to six months' rent allowed At the time of vacating, landlords must return the deposit immediately after deducting any pending dues. This provision ensures financial safety for tenants who previously faced unreasonable demands. Written Agreement Made Mandatory Verbal assurance no longer holds value. A written rental agreement is…...

And in 2005 Natalie Milan moved across the world in order to sample life in the British capital. Once settled in she was able to grow her career as an interior designer, and spent plenty of time holidaying on the continent too. Milan loved her time in London but also found the experience stressful " "London can wear you down, it is a constant carousel that never seems to stop" " and eventually moved back home. But then she met her now-fianc'e Karl. He had also moved to London, in 2012, was back in Australia for a visit, and persuaded Milan to make the return trip to join him....

Paul Boschi, along with Sarah Cowley, have turned to the planning inspectorate over plans to extend their property on Town Close Road near the city centre. They hoped Norwich City Council would allow them to build "more suitable living opportunities" with a first-floor extension to their property. The property is located on Town Close Road (Image: Google Maps) Mr Boschi's agents explained the first-floor extension would match the site's footprint and scale of the original Georgian building. The semi-detached house was built during the mid-19th century and is a grade II listed building. But planners for Norwich City Council, who refused the bid, said: "The proposed first floor extension - by virtue of its overbearing scale, incongruous design and lack of subservience to the host building…...

That's the reaction of one north Dublin pensioner when asked about his recent efforts to downsize; moving to a smaller home once the children have flown the nest is no easy task. I've lived all my life here " I was moving from one end of the street to the other, from the house I was born and reared in " to a small estate at the other end of street. Geographically we are talking about 250 yards," the pensioner says. He does not want to be identified due to a dispute about costs involved in the move. It was shocking. There was a chain of about five house purchases hanging on mine going through. It was all to be done in one day. My wife became ill; it…...

Florida's real estate market has experienced strong tailwinds in recent years. Pandemic-era movers, no state income tax, and Florida's warm climate have prompted people from around the world to move to the Sunshine State " especially those from non-U.S. countries. Offshore capital has proven to have a major influence on Florida's real-estate market " in fact, Florida is the top destination for foreign residential real estate buyers, attracting over 20% of all international buyers. Although foreign investment is evidently providing Florida with economic growth, this is also creating concerns about national security. To safeguard all of us, Florida should establish a statewide foreign investment review board to monitor and guide offshore real estate buyers. Florida has experienced an increase in real estate buyers from nations like Argentina,…...
