About Rent Agreement Drafting
A clear overview, in simple terms — what it is, why it matters, and how we handle it.
A residential rent agreement records the rent, deposit, period, maintenance, lock-in and notice terms between landlord and tenant. Leases for a year or more must be registered under the Registration Act, which is why many are made for 11 months; in Maharashtra, leave-and-licence agreements must be registered whatever the period. Stamp duty is payable as per state law, and tenants paying over ₹50,000 a month must deduct 2% TDS.
An unregistered agreement for 12 months or more can't be relied on as evidence of the lease terms, and an unstamped one can't be admitted until duty and penalty are paid. For HRA claims, a stamped agreement with the landlord's PAN (if rent exceeds ₹1 lakh a year) is the strongest proof.
We draft for your state's rules, include escalation, lock-in, deposit refund timelines and maintenance responsibilities, and guide e-stamping or registration.
| Registration | Required for leases of 1 year or more; leave and licence always in Maharashtra |
|---|---|
| Stamp duty | As per state law, often on rent and deposit |
| TDS by tenant | 2% if rent exceeds ₹50,000 a month |
| Landlord PAN | Needed for HRA if rent exceeds ₹1 lakh a year |
