NRI Property Management in Mumbai

NRI property management in Mumbai is the running of a non-resident owner's flat by a local team: tenant search, leave and licence registration, rent collection, society coordination, repairs, and tax records. 66 MG Road assigns one vetted property manager to your Mumbai property and bills every task as a visible line item. It is one part of our NRI property management service across six Indian cities.

What we handle in Mumbai

Nine lines of work, one accountable manager:

Core property management. Scheduled inspections, key custody on record, one named contact.
Maintenance and repairs. Vetted plumbers, electricians, and waterproofing crews. Billed at actuals with receipts. Monsoon seepage gets photographed, fixed, and photographed again.
Documentation and legal. Leave and licence agreements, registration, tenant police intimation, notices.
Records and reporting. Every agreement, receipt, and society letter in a document vault. A statement every month.
Bills and utilities. Municipal property tax, society maintenance, power, water, gas. Paid on time, filed.
Tenant and rental management. Listing, screening, agreement, rent collection, renewal, exit settlement.
Sale and purchase. On-ground representation when you buy or sell in Mumbai.
Airbnb and short stay. Setup and operation where the society and the law permit.
Tax and repatriation. Rent records, TDS tracking, and the paperwork your CA needs.

How it works

Step 1: Handover. You share documents and keys. Your manager records a dated photo and video baseline of the flat and files it in your vault.

Step 2: The manager runs it. Tenants, rent, society, repairs. You set a spend floor. Anything above it waits for your approval.

Step 3: You see everything. Monthly itemized statement. Dated photos and video at every handover, repair, and inspection.

What it costs

More than a lone Mumbai agent. Less than what opacity costs you. No commission on rent. No markup on vendor bills: repairs are billed at actuals with receipts attached. Every rupee is a line item you can question. The fee structure is on our pricing page.

Why Mumbai owners abroad lose money

The broker vanishes after the licence is signed. His brokerage is earned. Your seepage is not his problem.
The relative stops responding. The flat in Chembur becomes a topic both of you avoid.
Repairs get billed twice. Without dated photos and receipts, the same waterproofing job pays out two times.
Rent arrives late and shrinks. Deductions appear with no paper. You cannot argue from Dubai.
The society loses patience. Unpaid maintenance turns into arrears, interest, and a hostile committee.
An unregistered agreement weakens you. If a dispute lands in court, missing registration hurts the owner first.

Mumbai specifics every NRI landlord should know

Registration is compulsory, whatever the duration. Under Section 55 of the Maharashtra Rent Control Act, 1999, every leave and licence agreement must be written and registered. The 11-month shortcut used in other states does not apply here. Maharashtra runs online e-registration, so the process works without you flying in.
Tenant police intimation is the landlord's duty. Maharashtra Police rules require landlords to intimate the local police station with tenant details. Mumbai Police accepts the submission online. A police NOC is not required; the intimation is.
The society cannot stop you from renting out. Under the Maharashtra Co-operative Societies Act, 1960, a society cannot prohibit a member from giving a flat on leave and licence. It can ask for prior notice, a copy of the agreement, and police verification. We handle that file.
Where NRI demand sits. Market trackers name Powai, Thane, Mulund, Chembur, Andheri East, and Navi Mumbai among the suburbs drawing NRI buyers and steady tenant demand, with gross residential yields in the 3 to 4 percent range across most Mumbai micro-markets.

FAQ

Can I register a leave and licence agreement for my Mumbai flat from abroad? Yes. Maharashtra offers online e-registration of leave and licence agreements. We prepare the agreement, coordinate the e-registration, and file the registered copy in your vault.

Is an 11-month unregistered agreement valid in Mumbai? No. Section 55 of the Maharashtra Rent Control Act requires registration of every leave and licence agreement, whatever its length. We register every agreement we draft.

Who files the tenant police verification? We do, on your behalf, through the Mumbai Police online intimation process, and we file the acknowledgement in your document vault.

Does my housing society need to approve my tenant? The society cannot veto your right to rent out. It can require notice and documents. We submit the agreement copy and verification papers so the committee has nothing to object to.

Who pays the society maintenance while the flat is rented? Whatever your agreement states, we track the payment, file the receipt, and flag arrears before they grow interest.

How do I know a repair in my Mumbai flat happened? Dated photos and video before and after, plus the vendor's receipt, attached to the line item on your monthly statement.
