Property Butler tracks 21 active Worli rentals across 8 projects — from Lodha The Park 2 BHK at ₹2.3L/month to an Artesia fully furnished 4 BHK at ₹13.5L/month. The range is vast, the tenant base is almost entirely corporate or HNI, and the move-in process has quirks (6-month security deposits, mandatory police verification, TDS on anything above ₹50,000/month) that first-time SoBo renters consistently underestimate. This guide covers all of it.

PROPERTY BUTLER MARKET READ — MAY 2026
The Worli rental sweet spot right now: Lodha World Towers or World View 4 BHK at ₹6.5–7L/month — OC-received, Club W amenities, enough elevation for the view. Artesia at ₹13.5L confirms the trophy ceiling. The ₹5.5L Rustomjee Crown 4 BHK is the value outlier — same general address, builder finish, 24% cheaper than the Lodha equivalent.
The Floor-Band Premium — Worli's Vertical Pricing Logic
Worli is the only Mumbai micro-market where floor matters as much as building. The identical 2 BHK 893 sqft at Lodha The Park rents at ₹1.96L on the 14th floor and ₹2.11L on the 60th — 7.7% purely from elevation. At Lodha World Towers the band is even more dramatic: ₹6.5L on mid-floors, ₹15L on high sea-view floors — a 130% spread for the same configuration. Three bands to understand:
- Sub-20th floor — city/pool/building view; base rent. Club W amenities are at podium level — still excellent lifestyle.
- 21st–40th floor — partial sea view depending on tower orientation; ~10–20% above base. The value band for most corporate leases.
- 41st floor and above — unobstructed 270° Arabian Sea view at best-positioned towers; 30–50% premium over base. The expat and UHNI target band.
Who Rents in Worli — The Three Tenant Profiles
Senior Expat / MNC Posting
2–3 year corporate lease at ₹1.5–5L/month. Company pays. Fully furnished, sea-facing, top-floor preference. Security deposit replaced by bank guarantee. Fastest-closing tenant category.
HNI Family in Transition
Between property purchases or awaiting UC possession. Budget ₹3–8L/month, 12–24 month horizon. Most negotiable on lease terms. Often converts to buyer within 18 months.
Senior Indian Professional
CEOs, CFOs, senior bankers. Travel-heavy; wants zero-maintenance lifestyle. Budget ₹2–4L/month. Most loyal — renews 2–3 cycles in the same building.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cheapest flat for rent in Worli in 2026?
Lodha The Park 2 BHK (893–970 sqft, semi-furnished) from ₹1.96–2.3L/month is the entry point for branded new stock. Older Worli buildings start around ₹80,000–1.2L for a 2 BHK — inventory is thin and diligence on building age, lifts, and society reserves is essential.
What is the security deposit for a Worli rental?
6 months rent is standard at Lodha World Towers, World View, and Indiabulls Blu. On ₹6.75L/month that is ₹40.5L upfront in cash. Corporate tenants can substitute a bank guarantee from the employing company — most Lodha-managed buildings accept this, making corporate leasing far more capital-efficient.
How does TDS work on Worli rentals?
TDS at 10% applies to all rents above ₹50,000/month. On a ₹7L rent: tenant deducts ₹70,000, pays ₹6.3L to landlord, remits ₹70,000 quarterly via Form 26QC. Non-compliance exposes both parties to penalty. Property Butler manages 26QC filing as part of lease support.
How quickly do Worli rentals get tenanted?
Furnished sea-facing units in branded buildings tenant within 30–45 days. The fastest absorption band: 3–4 BHK furnished at ₹5.5–8L/month — peak corporate expat demand. Penthouses and 5 BHK units take 90–120 days.
What annual escalation should I expect in Worli?
5–10% is the negotiated range. Lodha buildings push 8–10% on individual leases. On 2–3 year corporate leases, 5% escalation is defensible and most HR departments will not sanction more. Property Butler negotiates lease renewals as part of tenant support.
What is the rental yield for a Worli investment property?
Gross yields run 2.0–2.6% at trophy sizes, stretching to 3.0–3.4% at the 2 BHK band. Lodha World View 4 BHK at ₹6.75L/month against a ₹15–18 Cr asking delivers a 4.5% gross illusion, but nets to ~2.5% after maintenance (₹18k/month) and vacancy. Worli is a capital-appreciation and lifestyle locality, not a yield play. Full investor analysis: Worli buyer guide.
Is Worli better than Bandra West for a corporate rental?
For BKC-anchored professionals, both are 12–18 min via Sea Link. For Nariman Point / Fort / Colaba offices: Worli wins — Coastal Road cuts it to 10–15 min. For Airport / Andheri East: Bandra West is materially closer. Full comparison: Worli vs Bandra West guide.
What documentation does a Worli landlord require?
Individuals: Aadhaar/passport, PAN, last 3 months salary slips, police verification. Expats: passport, visa, employer appointment letter. Corporates: company registration, board resolution, employee appointment letter. Lodha-managed buildings have a 7–10 day pre-approval step. Property Butler manages all documentation and verification.
