MHADA Plans Price Cuts and Rental Portal to Address Unsold Mumbai Flats
The Maharashtra Housing and Area Development Authority (MHADA) is taking steps to address unsold flats in Mumbai by proposing up to a 10% price reduction for some units and planning to launch a rental housing portal by November-end. The portal will initially list over 500 unsold flats for rent, aiming to connect tenants directly with landlords, reduce brokerage fees, and include an e-court facility for rental disputes. MHADA is also considering allowing private developers to list vacant homes on the platform to enhance rental options.
