- How does houses.bd prevent fake listings?
- Every listing is cross-checked against rjsc.bd company data and land records before publication. Unverified listings never appear.
- Is my deposit protected?
- Deposits sit in 1pay.bd escrow and are released against the written tenancy contract, not landlord discretion.
- Do you issue TIN/VAT-compliant paperwork?
- Yes — NBR-compliant documentation is issued natively on every transaction.
- Which cities do you cover?
- Dhaka (all key postcodes), Chattogram, Sylhet, Rajshahi and Khulna, with penthouse.bd handling premium Dhaka postcodes.
- Which law governs tenancies?
- The Premises Rent Control Act, 1991 — deposit, notice and eviction terms follow that framework.
- Can I sell as an individual, not a company?
- Yes — individual sellers verify via kyc.bd (NID + TIN); corporate sellers verify via rjsc.bd.
- Why do I see one listing where other sites show several?
- Records are deduplicated to the physical unit. Multiple agents attach to a single canonical listing instead of creating duplicates.
- How much advance rent can a landlord demand?
- The Premises Rent Control Act, 1991 limits advance rent. Listings must state the advance in months, and it is visible before contact.
- Does houses.bd handle registration of a sale?
- No. Registration and mutation are statutory processes at the sub-registry office. The platform covers discovery, verification and disclosure only.
