Move-in charges (society)

Move-in charges are a one-time amount some societies collect before they let a tenant's furniture and appliances in, usually to cover wear on the lift, lobby, and other shared areas during the move.

In Bengaluru, this is commonly quoted as a refundable sum of a few thousand rupees, returned once the move is done and nothing is damaged, though some societies treat it as a flat fee instead. It sits apart from the security deposit, which goes to the owner, since a move-in charge belongs to the society and pays for the building, not the home. We find out the society's move-in charge before the move date, so it is not a surprise at the gate.

A term is defined from the statute or from the practice, with the source named beside it. Where Bengaluru's practice differs from the law, the page says so rather than choosing one.

Send this page to whoever you are moving with; a home is usually chosen by two people at eleven at night. The next step is one message to the desk with the budget, the size and the office.

The glossary knows the word. The desk knows the home.
