India residential rent agreement draft

Type the property, rent, and deposit. Indian states do not share one rent law. This draft does not decide the kind of agreement and does not register it.

This is a general-purpose document template, not an official government form or legal advice. Local requirements may differ. Check applicable rules and any required official forms before use.

No standard clause or notice period is filled in.

Clauses you leave blank are omitted. No standard clause is filled in.

How to fill this in

Type the state or union territory as a label. That name does not decide whether the writing is a lease, a rent agreement, or a leave and licence.

Maharashtra has a government portal for leave and licence registration. Tamil Nadu requires a written tenancy agreement to be registered with the Rent Authority. This PDF does not complete either process.

A 25 July 2022 government release said four states had revised their tenancy Acts after the Model Tenancy Act was circulated. This page does not treat that list as a current census, and it does not calculate stamp duty or a registration fee.

Choose A4 or US Letter before you download. Empty dates, rent, and the deposit stay empty. Clauses you leave blank are omitted. The PDF does not add a deposit limit, a notice period, an eviction clause, stamp duty, or a required disclosure.

FAQ

Does this choose a lease or a leave and licence?

No. Lease, rent agreement, and leave and licence are not the same instrument. This page does not choose one.

Does it register the document or calculate stamp duty?

No. Registration and stamp duty depend on the state. This draft does not calculate a fee or file the document.

Which currency does it use?

Indian rupees. Rent and the deposit stay blank until you type them.
