When Good Karma Meets Good Karma
Good Karma isn't just about your score — it's about who you match with. A high-Karma tenant with a high-Karma landlord is a rental relationship that actually works, at every tier.
High Karma + High Karma
Better deposits, better terms at every tier. Gold: 1-month deposit + 5% rent cap. Silver: 1.5-month deposit + 8% cap. Even Bronze: 2-month deposit with Manay escrow protection. Property care visits keep the home in great shape and catch issues early. Both parties renew with confidence — why leave when everything works?
Renewal Becomes Automatic
A high-Karma tenant who pays on time and maintains the home is worth keeping. A high-Karma landlord who fixes things fast and returns deposits on time is worth staying with. Good Karma = longer tenancies = less turnover cost.
Disputes Rarely Happen
Property care visits create a shared record — for both maintenance and accountability. Tenants get proof they've kept the home well. Landlords get early warning on repairs before they become expensive. Small fixes get handled on the spot. No "the wall was already damaged" arguments. Both sides see the same report. When both parties have high Karma, problems get fixed before they become disputes.
Real Money Saved
On a ₹25,000/month rental: Gold tenant saves ₹25,000 on deposit (1 month instead of 2). Silver saves ₹12,500 (1.5 months). High-Karma landlord saves ₹50,000+ in vacancy costs by keeping a good tenant. Every tier saves real money.
Why High-Karma Landlords Want High-Karma Tenants
A high-Karma tenant has verified payment history, documented property care, and no disputes. That's not just a "good renter" — that's a tenant who saves you money. Less vacancy. Less damage. Less legal risk. Renewing a high-Karma tenant is cheaper than finding a new one.
Why High-Karma Tenants Want High-Karma Landlords
A high-Karma landlord has compliant agreements, fast maintenance response, and a verified track record. That means your deposit comes back, your home gets fixed when something breaks, and you're not fighting illegal rent hikes. You can actually enjoy where you live.
Property Care Visits
Property care visits by certified professionals — frequency based on your Karma tier. They don't just inspect — they catch small issues early, handle minor repairs, and recommend maintenance. Gold gets quarterly visits (4x/year), Silver gets semi-annual (2x/year), Bronze gets annual (1x/year). Both parties get documented reports. Problems get fixed before they become disputes.
Schedule
Manay schedules the visit. Both landlord and tenant get 7 days' notice. No surprises — the care professional is there to help, not scrutinize.
Inspect
A certified property care professional visits for 30-45 minutes. They check 8 categories — plumbing, electrical, walls, flooring, fixtures, doors/windows, kitchen, bathroom — handle minor repairs on the spot, and recommend any larger maintenance. Photos documented. Both parties can attend. You get a shared condition report that protects your deposit and tracks what needs fixing.
Report
Digital report delivered to both landlord and tenant. Tenant gets proof of condition for deposit protection. Landlord gets maintenance priorities and repair recommendations. Disputes can be raised within 7 days. Otherwise, scores stand — and both sides know exactly where things stand.
Karma Update
Property care visit reports feed directly into your Karma. Good upkeep = higher score = better perks. It's that simple.

Why Good Karma Matters
Ends Information Asymmetry
Tenants walk into rentals blind today. Landlords screen tenants one-way. Karma makes reputation visible - both ways.
Saves Real Money
Gold Karma tenants pay 1-month deposit instead of 2, Silver pay 1.5 months. On a ₹25K/month rental that's ₹12,500-₹25,000 saved. Real cash at every tier.
Network Effect
More users = better signals = better matches. Each Karma profile makes the system smarter for everyone.
First in India
No rental platform in India has a mutual reputation system. Manay's Good Karma is a category creator.
Karnataka 2026 Law Alignment
Landlord Karma factors directly align with the 2026 Karnataka Rent (Amendment) Bill. Compliance isn't just good Karma - it's the law. Landlords who follow the 2-month deposit cap, register on Kaveri 2.0, and maintain their properties get higher Karma scores automatically.
