Frequently Asked Questions

Is security deposit refundable?
Yes, the security deposit is refundable when you vacate, subject to deductions for unpaid rent, utility bills, or property damage beyond normal wear and tear. In cities like Bengaluru and Mumbai, deposits are typically 2–10 months of rent. Always get a written agreement specifying refund conditions.
How do I negotiate packers & movers rates?
Get at least 3 quotes. Avoid moving during peak months (March–April, October). Declutter before moving — sell or donate items to reduce volume and cost. Ask for an itemised quote rather than a lump sum, and confirm whether GST is included in the quoted price.
What is transit insurance for moving?
Transit insurance covers damage or loss of goods during the move. Most reputable packers & movers offer this for 0.5–1% of declared goods value. It's strongly recommended for electronics, antiques, and fragile items. Verify what's covered and the claim process before signing.
