Residential Rental Agreement
Most rental disputes are not about bad people — they are about vague agreements. A professionally drafted rental agreement spells out rent, deposit, notice period, and who pays for what. We draft it for your situation and guide you through registration.

Overview
What a residential rental agreement covers
A residential rental agreement records the terms between a landlord and tenant for a fixed period — usually 11 months in India.
It covers rent, security deposit, notice period, maintenance responsibilities, and renewal terms.
Registration (not just notarisation) gives the agreement stronger legal standing, and is required in several states.
Police verification of the tenant is a separate legal requirement in many cities.
A clear agreement is your best defence if a dispute ever reaches a rent tribunal or court.

These two clauses cause most disputes. We word them precisely.
Registration guidance
We tell you whether your state needs registration or accepts notarisation, and arrange the stamping.
Society and police formalities covered
We flag the NOC and police verification steps most owners forget.
Documents
Documents you will usually need
Clear, current documents matter more than a long checklist. Names, dates of birth and addresses should match across every record — that's what the MCA checks first. Tick what you already have below.

What is a CIN?
Every Private Limited Company gets a unique 21-character Corporate Identification Number from the MCA. It's proof your company legally exists. You'll need it for bank accounts, tax filings, and contracts. We handle the entire application — you just provide the documents above.
Not sure if your documents are ready?
Send us what you have. A ComplyKart expert will review them for free and tell you exactly what's missing — no obligation.
Get Free Document ReviewQuestions Founders ask us about documents
What if my address proof is old?
Utility bills and bank statements must be less than 2 months old. If yours are older, get a fresh copy — the MCA rejects stale proofs.
Do I need original documents?
No. Clear scans or photos work for the entire process. We never ask you to courier originals.
What if directors live in different cities?
That's normal. Each director uploads their own documents separately. Our system keeps everything organised.
I'm outside India. Can I still register a company?
Yes. India allows 100% foreign ownership in most sectors, and the entire process happens online. You need one Indian resident director, and your passport + address proof must be apostilled — we'll guide you through both. NRI founders and foreign investors do this with us regularly.
Check if you're eligible →How long does registration actually take?
7 to 10 working days from the day your documents are verified. Name approval takes 2-3 days, MCA incorporation another 5-7. We track every stage and update you.
Can I start if I'm missing one document?
Yes. Start now with what you have — we begin name reservation and DSC while you arrange the rest. Most founders are missing one proof; it rarely blocks the timeline.

- One Indian resident director is required by law — we help you find a compliant way forward
- Check whether your sector permits automatic-route foreign investment

No — it is a convention. Longer tenures are possible but usually require registration and different stamp duty. We advise based on your plan.
Registration is stronger and legally required in several states. We tell you what your state demands.
The agreement's notice and renewal clauses govern this. For overstay, the legal remedy is an eviction proceeding — the agreement is your primary evidence.
Typically, the landlord handles structural repairs and the tenant handles day-to-day maintenance. Your agreement should say this explicitly — ours does.
Only if the agreement allows it. We recommend fixing escalation terms upfront so neither side argues later.
In most major cities, yes — landlords must submit tenant details to the local police station. It is a quick step we remind you about.
Nothing matches that search. Try a shorter word, or choose “All questions”.
