Villa versus independent house.

Both a villa and an independent house are standalone homes with their own plot and no shared walls, but they sit in different settings.

( SCROLL ↓ )

A villa is usually one of many similar homes inside a single planned, developer-built layout, sharing a boundary wall, security, and amenities with its neighbours, and a shared maintenance fee. An independent house is typically custom-built on its own plot, often in an older part of the city, with no shared association, amenities, or maintenance fee beyond what the owner chooses. Renting a villa means inheriting the layout's rules. An independent house means dealing only with the owner. We tell a tenant which kind of home they are choosing, not just its size.

Villa versus independent house

A rental term, explained for Bengaluru.

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.
