Mittiyo Blogs is the knowledge hub for Mittiyo, a platform working to make renting in India simpler, fairer, and more transparent. Our guides are written and maintained by the Mittiyo Team, an in-house editorial group focused on the practical and legal realities of renting in Indian cities, with a particular depth in Bengaluru and Karnataka.
What we write about
- Rental law and agreements: leave and license agreements, essential and illegal clauses, security deposits, lock-in and notice periods, registration, and e-stamping.
- Tax and money: HRA, TDS on rent, Section 80GG, rental income, and the costs that actually add up for tenants and landlords.
- Moving and settling in: utility transfers, water and power, internet, address proof, police verification, and city-by-city cost of living.
- City and locality guides: honest, on-the-ground rental guides to Bengaluru’s neighbourhoods.
How we research
Every legal claim is checked against primary sources, the actual statute, rule, or judgment, not second-hand summaries. Where we cite a law, we link to the official text (for example, India Code for central statutes) or the relevant government portal. We update guides as the law and ground reality change, and we date them so you can see how current they are.
We write in plain language because most of our readers are not lawyers or accountants; they are people trying to make a confident decision about where and how they live.
A note on accuracy
These guides are for general information and are not a substitute for professional legal or tax advice for your specific situation. If something here is out of date or you spot an error, we want to fix it, write to us at [email protected].
