Residential apartments in India are usually easy to rent. Most people prefer to deal with a real estate agent to rent a home. The brokers usually charge a certain percentage as brokerage fee. The real estate renting system in India generally goes by a Lease contract.

It is a contract for possession and enjoyment of the profits of the land on one side and recompense by rent consideration on the other. Pertinently a lease agreement of an immovable property can be created by various methods: In case of a registered instrument, the lease is on year to year basis or exceeding one year rent or reserving yearly rent. In such cases both the lessor and the lessee must execute the instrument. In many parts of semi-urban India, primarily smaller towns, oral agreement usually followed by the delivery of possession.

In any case a rented accommodation does not require too much of property documentation compared to getting your own residential place. To buy a flat one needs to furnish a copy of registered sale / conveyance deed through which the seller got the title,
Photocopies of all earlier sale deed, agreement to sell, receipt of payments made to seller, to name a few. Renting an apartment abroad is slightly different from renting a place in India. Overseas, tenant normally needs to show the landlord a credit evaluation, the pay stub, or tax return, one or two references, as well as give a small introduction of himself -- explaining where he is from, where he works, how many people will live at the apartment and so on. However the rent agreement is carefully probed both in India and overseas.

In India various construction projects on apartments by big names include the Raheja group and Sanmar group. The multi-city realtors have a major presence in cities such as Bangalore, Mumbai, Pune, and Delhi. They are credited with construction of many shopping malls, office complexes and large residential complexes in these cities. The Vaswani group is also one of India's leading names credited with some of the best residential and commercial projects at the choicest locations in Bangalore and Bombay.

Smaller Indian real estate companies include real estate developers for apartments, commercial and retail construction in metros as well as smaller cities. Smaller Indian real estate companies have a geographical stronghold. While Brigade group and Embassy group are South India based, Hiranandani and Kanakia are West Indian; Mumbai based companies, with many constructions to their credit.
