Instructions

The following details should be kept in mind while taking the flat on lease:

• You should know whether you are directly dealing with the owner or any third party on the behalf of the owner.
• You should know if there is any broker or agent in between as they also take their commission charges.
• Check the Electricity or Tax bill to verify whether the property belongs to the owner who is claiming it or not.
• Make sure you take a receipt by the owner for any token money you have given or make it through cheque, DD or online transfer.
• Terms and conditions between the owner and tenant should be clearly written in the agreement.
• If the property to be leased is used for illegal purposes, the lease would be invalid.
• Signatures of both the parties on the lease is compulsory. All terms of the contract must be agreed upon by both parties.

• Name (With documentary proof)
• Age (With documentary proof)

Need for the Document

• Lease agreement protects the rights of the both tenant and the landlord in case of future conflicts. A legal document can help both the parties as they can approach the court if any dispute arises between them.

Information which might help

• The person taking the house for rent is termed the tenant or lessee, and the person letting it out for rent is termed the landlord or owner or lessor.
• People create rental agreements on Stamp paper of minimum values like Rs.20/- or 50/- or 100/- etc. to save money. But actual Stamp prescribed by the Government should be used. As long as there is no legal dispute between the owner and the tenant things go well but if something happens no one can claim anything in court.
• It is important to keep track of the time when the deed was created. A fresh deed has to be created after the deed expiration. The registration must be made at least four months before the date of deed expiration. If both the parties are not present at the time of registration of deed, he/she must sign the Power of Attorney, granting attorney the rights of agreement closure.
