What is a Rental Agreement?

A Rental Agreement is a legally enforceable document that outlines the terms and conditions between a landlord (property owner) and a tenant (occupant) regarding the use of a residential or commercial property. It specifies the duration of stay, monthly rent, deposit amount, maintenance charges, and other essential clauses to avoid future disputes.

Whether you're leasing out an apartment, office space, retail shop, or co-working unit, having a registered or notarized rental agreement is vital for protecting your legal rights, maintaining transparency, and fulfilling state-specific tenancy laws.

Our service ensures the agreement is tailored to your needs while staying compliant with Indian legal standards.
