What is a Rent Agreement?
A Rent Agreement is a written contract that lays out the terms under which one party agrees to rent property owned by another. It defines rent, deposit, duration, usage, repairs, maintenance, and exit terms. It is typically created for residential or commercial properties for a term of 11 months or longer and can be notarized or registered based on state laws.
Why Should You Make a Rent Agreement?

- Defined Terms – Clear understanding of rent, deposit, duration, and responsibilities
- Avoid Misuse – Protects the property from unauthorized use or overstay
- Peace of Mind – Prevents verbal misunderstandings between landlord and tenant
- Proof of Address – Useful for tenants to use as address proof in official documents
- Required for Registration – Mandatory in some states for rentals above 11 months
Rent Agreements in India
In India, Rent Agreements are governed by the Rent Control Acts of various states and the Indian Contract Act, 1872. For agreements exceeding 11 months, registration is mandatory in most states to make it legally valid. Stamp duty and registration charges vary from state to state. With rising tenancy-related disputes, having a written, properly executed Rent Agreement is more important than ever.
