Karachi: (RightNow) Renting a house in Pakistan’s major cities is challenging. Tenants often sign agreements without reading the fine print, leading to issues later.

Experts advise tenants not to overlook the terms of the agreement. Problems arise with security deposit returns, maintenance costs, and penalties for early termination.

Tenants should pay attention to clauses beyond the monthly rent. The agreement is a legal document of rights and responsibilities, and ignoring it can be harmful.

This issue is significant for both tenants and landlords. Clear agreements improve relationships and prevent financial disputes.

It is important to remember that verbal promises have no legal standing, so all terms should be included in writing in the agreement. A clear agreement benefits both tenants and landlords.
