Still to answer

30 answers are still to come.

Nothing is amiss in what you have written. The document is simply not finished, and the draft marks each gap where an answer will go.

For example: Aarav Mehta

What is the landlord's service address?Needed

For example: Rohan Sharma

What is the tenant's correspondence address?Needed
What is the complete address of the rented premises?Needed

For example: SCO 42, Estate Office file EO-42

Where are the premises situated?Needed
When did the letting begin?Needed

A calendar date — the day, the month and the year. Dates in a document like this are read against one another, so a date typed here can change what another date is allowed to be.

For example: 15 June 2011

For example: Rent deed dated 15 June 2011

What is the tenancy term basis?Needed

State the authorised residential or non-residential use.

A long answer. Several lines are fine, and a break you make between paragraphs is the break the document keeps.

For example: Retail sale of garments and related lawful office activity.

An amount in rupees. Commas and a ₹ sign are both fine — write it the way you would write it anywhere else, and the document is given the tidy form of it.

For example: 85000

A plain number. Digits only — no words and no units beside them.

For example: 7

A calendar date — the day, the month and the year. Dates in a document like this are read against one another, so a date typed here can change what another date is allowed to be.

For example: 18 September 2026

How will this document be served?Needed
At what address will service be attempted?Needed

For example: Aarav Mehta

For example: Rohan Sharma

For example: Kaagazaat

An email address somebody actually reads. Notices under a document like this can be sent to it, so a working one matters more than a tidy one.

For example: privacy@example.com

Which personal-data instruction should print?Needed

A calendar date — the day, the month and the year. Dates in a document like this are read against one another, so a date typed here can change what another date is allowed to be.

For example: 05 September 2026

For example: Notice to Quit Ref. LM-42/2026

What overall position does the tenant take?Needed

State admissions narrowly and accurately.

A long answer. Several lines are fine, and a break you make between paragraphs is the break the document keeps.

For example: The tenancy began on 15 June 2011 and current monthly rent is 85000.

Answer the landlord’s material allegations with facts.

A long answer. Several lines are fine, and a break you make between paragraphs is the break the document keeps.

For example: The tenant denies any unauthorised subletting; the persons identified by the landlord are employees of the tenant company and no possession has been transferred.

List tenancy, rent and factual evidence.

A long answer. Several lines are fine, and a break you make between paragraphs is the break the document keeps.

For example: Rent deed, salary records of employees, rent receipts and access-control records.

A calendar date — the day, the month and the year. Dates in a document like this are read against one another, so a date typed here can change what another date is allowed to be.

For example: 18 September 2026

The live draft

The draft, as it stands

This is the whole document, not a sample of it. It is rewritten every time you change an answer.

A long blank line — __________ — stands wherever an answer has not been given. It is left that visible on purpose, so an unfinished document cannot be mistaken for a finished one.

No answer has been given, so every place a detail belongs is standing blank. The shape of the document is worth reading even now.

A kept copy has to belong to somebody, and that is the reason for the account. There is nothing further to it.
