Listing & Community Guidelines
Keep GharChaabi safe, honest and respectful for Pune & Mumbai home seekers and owners.
Last updated: 5 November 2026 (Asia/Calcutta)
1. For owners
- List only properties you are authorised to rent, sell or represent.
- Use accurate rent, deposit, BHK, locality and availability. Reconfirm when prompted.
- Do not post broker spam, duplicate listings, or bait-and-switch prices.
- Photos should show the actual home when possible. If you use placeholders, we may label them as representative.
- Contact sharing is your choice after a seeker sends interest.
2. For seekers
- Send interest only when you are genuinely considering the home.
- Be respectful in notes and chats. No harassment.
- Do not pressure owners for off-platform payments without due diligence.
3. Anti-spam
Automated scraping, bulk OTP abuse, honeypot triggers, repeated identical enquiries, and promotional blasts are prohibited. We use rate limits and may block IPs or numbers.
4. Fake listings & fraud
Fake army/transfer stories, advance-fee scams, impersonation, and listings for properties that do not exist will be removed and may be reported. Use the in-app report control on a listing when something looks wrong.
5. Discrimination
Listings or messages that unlawfully discriminate (including on religion, caste, gender, disability, or other protected grounds under Indian law) are not allowed. Lawful, clearly stated house rules (for example "veg only" or "no pets") should be disclosed honestly — not used as a pretext for illegal discrimination.
6. Enforcement
We may remove content, decline interest, or suspend accounts. Appeals: Grievance Redressal.
