Rent Agreement: Although every person in India dreams of owning a house, but not everyone’s financial condition is such that they can buy or get a house built. That’s why the tradition of taking a house or flat on rent is increasing rapidly in the country.
At the same time, many people have to go from one city to another for employment. In such a situation, they are looking for a house to live on rent. In such a situation, if you have given your house on rent or have taken a house on rent, then you must have got a rent agreement made. But the lawyer with whom the rent agreement is made, it is made for 11 months only.
If you do not get the agreement made, then you can get into trouble going forward. The terms of the tenant and the landlord are written in this agreement, which both the parties have to sign after agreeing. The details of rent increase, repairs, security deposit, maintenance and other payments are mentioned in the rent agreement.
Registration of rent agreement is necessary
If the property is to be given to the tenant for more than 11 months, then in such a situation the properties have to be registered. Registration is not required for agreements of less than 11 months. It is necessary to draft the rent/lease agreement and get it registered at the nearest sub-registrar’s office.
There are many benefits of registering the rental agreement. Legally, if there is any kind of dispute in the future, then both the parties are protected by this agreement. On the other hand, landlords usually get an agreement made for 11 months only. After this it is expanded again.
