How do I make a rental agreement in India?

Fill in the landlord and tenant details, the property, rent, deposit and terms, and generate the agreement. Print it on stamp paper or e-stamp of the value applicable in your state, and have both parties and two witnesses sign. Agreements of 12 months or more usually need registration.

Why are most rent agreements for 11 months?

A lease of less than 12 months generally does not require compulsory registration under the Registration Act, so 11-month agreements are common to keep the process simple. They are typically renewed.

Is this rental agreement legally valid?

It is a standard template to get you started. To be enforceable it should be executed on the correct stamp paper for your state, signed by both parties and two witnesses, and registered if required. For high-value or complex tenancies, have a lawyer review it.

Before you sign

Execute the agreement on stamp paper or e-stamp of the value your state prescribes, have both parties sign every page, and add two witnesses. A lease of 12 months or more generally needs registration at the sub-registrar; most people use 11 months to avoid that and renew. This template is a starting point, not legal advice — for high-value or unusual tenancies, get a lawyer to review it.

Frequently asked questions

Stamp paper value?

It varies by state and rent/deposit. A nominal e-stamp is common for 11-month residential leases; check your state's stamp rules.

Does it need notarisation?

Notarisation is common and adds credibility, though registration is the stronger step where required.

Can I edit the clauses?

Generate it, then paste into a document editor to add or change clauses before printing.
