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 to 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 to 20% above base. The value band for most corporate leases.
- 41st floor and above, unobstructed 270° Arabian Sea view at best-positioned towers; 30 to 50% premium over base. The expat and UHNI target band.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the cheapest flat for rent in Worli in 2026?
Lodha The Park 2 BHK (893 to 970 sqft, semi-furnished) from ₹1.96 to 2.3L/month is the entry point for branded new stock. Older Worli buildings start around ₹80,000 to 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 to 45 days. The fastest absorption band: 3 to 4 BHK furnished at ₹5.5 to 8L/month, peak corporate expat demand. Penthouses and 5 BHK units take 90 to 120 days.
What annual escalation should I expect in Worli?
5 to 10% is the negotiated range. Lodha buildings push 8 to 10% on individual leases. On 2 to 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 to 2.6% at trophy sizes, stretching to 3.0 to 3.4% at the 2 BHK band. Lodha World View 4 BHK at ₹6.75L/month against a ₹15 to 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 to 18 min via Sea Link. For Nariman Point / Fort / Colaba offices: Worli wins, Coastal Road cuts it to 10 to 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 to 10 day pre-approval step. Property Butler manages all documentation and verification.
