Rent And Lease Agreement — Get It Right Before It Costs You

Overview
What this agreement actually covers
A rent agreement (typically 11 months) or lease deed (longer term) is the contract between property owner and occupant.
It records the rent, deposit, payment dates, escalation terms, and who pays for maintenance, utilities, and repairs.
It defines the lock-in period, notice period, and renewal terms — the clauses most disputes arise from.
It should address permitted use, subletting restrictions, and the property's condition at handover.
Lease deeds of 12 months or more generally require registration; shorter rent agreements need proper stamping.
Benefits
Why people get this drafted through us
Open each benefit to see what it means for you.
Money terms, unambiguous
Rent, deposit, escalation, late-payment consequences, and deduction rules are written so neither side can reinterpret them.
Maintenance split settled
Who pays for what — structural repairs versus day-to-day maintenance — is defined, ending the most common landlord-tenant argument.
Exits without drama
Lock-in, notice periods, and handover condition are clear, so moving out doesn't become a legal event.
Registration and stamping handled
We advise whether your agreement needs registration and arrange proper stamping either way.

Process
Rent and Lease Agreement process — step by step
You’ll see each stage, what’s pending and what we need from you — so filings don’t bounce back.
Step 1 of 5
Agree the commercial terms
We confirm rent, deposit, tenure, lock-in, notice period, maintenance split, and who pays for what. Clear terms at this stage prevent most landlord-tenant disputes.
We draft the agreement
Our lawyers draft the agreement covering premises, rent and deposit, tenure, lock-in, maintenance, utilities, permitted use, subletting restrictions, termination, and renewal. First draft typically takes 2-3 working days.
Both parties review
Owner and tenant review the draft. We revise clauses like lock-in penalties, painting charges, and notice periods until both agree.
Stamp duty and registration
Agreements of 11 months are typically executed on stamp paper. Leases exceeding one year must be registered under the Registration Act, 1908 — stamp duty varies by state. Several states also offer online e-registration for leave-and-licence agreements.
Police verification
We help you complete tenant police verification, which is mandatory in many states and cities — the local police station or state police portal processes it, typically within 7-15 days.

Market practice varies by city — commonly 2–6 months' rent for residential. The agreement should state deduction conditions clearly.
Only as the agreement provides. We draft escalation clauses (or lock the rent) so there's no mid-term surprise.
The agreement's holdover clause governs — typically with higher rent for the overstay period and clear eviction remedies. We make sure it's there.
