TENANCY AGREEMENT

(In the Form specified in Schedule I to the Punjab Rent Act, 1995 — Punjab Act 13 of 2012 — as substituted by the Punjab Rent (Amendment) Act, 2013, Punjab Act 33 of 2013, presented for registration under sub-section (2) of section 4 of that Act)

HOW THIS INSTRUMENT IS ARRANGED, AND WHAT IS AND IS NOT THE STATUTORY FORM. Part I, clauses 1 to 12, reproduces the twelve terms and conditions of the Form specified in Schedule I to the Punjab Rent Act, 1995, in the order and in substantially the words in which that Form sets them out, with the blanks in the Form filled in. The registration endorsement at the foot of this instrument is likewise the endorsement the Form carries, and is for the Registering Authority to complete. Part II, clauses 13 onwards, and Part C of the Schedule where it appears, are terms the Parties have added. They are NOT part of the Form and are not presented as part of it. Every one of them is subject to clause 26.3, which subordinates them both to the Punjab Rent Act, 1995 and to Part I, and by clause 23.4 the Parties agree in advance that if the Registering Authority requires the bare Form, Part II is to be struck out and Part I and the tenancy stand.

PART II — SUPPLEMENTAL TERMS AGREED BETWEEN THE PARTIES

These clauses are agreed between the Parties. They are not part of the Form specified in Schedule I to the Punjab Rent Act, 1995, and they are subject to clause 26.3.

1. THE PREMISES, POSSESSION AND INVENTORY

13.1 The Landlord shall deliver vacant physical possession of the Premises to the Tenant on __________.

13.2 On that date the Parties shall jointly record the electricity and water meter readings and verify the fittings and fixtures listed in Part B of the Schedule, and shall initial the entry.

13.3 The Premises comprise the accommodation described in Part A of the Schedule and nothing else. Everything the description excludes remains in the Landlord's possession.

1. USE AND OCCUPATION

14.1 The Premises are let, and shall be used by the Tenant, for __________ and for no other purpose. The Parties note that using the Premises for a purpose other than that for which they were let is a ground of eviction under clause (b) of sub-section (2) of section 20 of the Punjab Rent Act, 1995.

14.2 Not more than __________ persons in all, including the Tenant, shall reside in or occupy the Premises without the previous consent in writing of the Landlord.

14.3 The Tenant shall not use the Premises, or permit them to be used, for any purpose which is unlawful, immoral or hazardous, or which causes or is likely to cause nuisance or annoyance to a person living in the neighbourhood of the Premises, nor for the storage of any inflammable, explosive or offensive article. The Parties note that a conviction for causing such nuisance or annoyance, or for using or allowing the use of the Premises for an immoral or illegal purpose, is a ground of eviction under clause (l) of that sub-section.

14.4 The Tenant shall not carry on in the Premises any trade or business requiring a licence, registration or permission from any authority without first obtaining it at the Tenant's own cost, and shall keep the Landlord indemnified against any consequence of failing to do so.

1. SECURITY DEPOSIT

15.1 The Punjab Rent Act, 1995 does not provide for a security deposit, and this clause is wholly contractual. The Tenant has paid to the Landlord, on or before the date of this agreement, an interest-free refundable security deposit of __________ by __________, the receipt of which the Landlord acknowledges.

15.2 The security deposit is not, and shall not be treated as, advance rent, and the Tenant shall not adjust any month's rent or maintenance charge against it.

15.3 On the Tenant delivering peaceful vacant possession of the Premises to the Landlord, the Landlord shall refund the security deposit to the Tenant on the same day, after deducting only: any rent, maintenance charge, interest or other sum due and unpaid under this agreement; the cost of making good any damage to the Premises or to the fittings and fixtures listed in Part B of the Schedule beyond normal wear and tear; and any unpaid electricity, water, sewerage, property tax or other charge for the period of the tenancy. The Landlord shall give the Tenant a written statement of every deduction at the time of refund.

15.4 Where the Landlord recovers possession under section 21, 22, 23 or 24 of the Punjab Rent Act, 1995, sub-section (2) of section 21 requires any advance received from the Tenant to be refunded on the date of recovery of possession, with simple interest at fifteen per cent per annum on any amount the Landlord fails to refund, and permits the Landlord to set off any amount he is lawfully entitled to recover. Nothing in clause 15.3 cuts that provision down.

1. RENT — RECEIPTS, BANK ACCOUNT AND INTEREST ON DEFAULT

16.1 Clause 7 of Part I fixes the day of payment as the Punjab Rent Act, 1995 and the Form permit. Sub-section (1) of section 13 of that Act requires the Tenant to pay rent and other charges within the time fixed by contract or, in the absence of such stipulation, by the fifteenth day of the month next following the month for which it is payable; and where any default occurs, it makes the Tenant liable to pay simple interest at the rate of fifteen per cent per annum from the date on which the payment was due to the date on which it is paid. That interest runs on any default, however short, and is not confined to the three months' arrears that found an application for eviction.

16.2 By sub-section (2) of section 13, a Tenant paying in cash is entitled to obtain forthwith a written receipt signed by the Landlord or his authorised agent, and it is open to the Tenant to remit the rent by postal money order. By sub-section (3), if the Landlord or his agent refuses or neglects to deliver that receipt, the Rent Authority may on the Tenant's application made within two months order the Landlord to pay the Tenant damages not exceeding double the amount paid, together with the costs of the application.

16.3 Payment of rent is not conditional on any demand by the Landlord. Where the Landlord does not accept the rent tendered, refuses or neglects to give a receipt, or there is a bona fide doubt as to the person entitled, the Tenant may deposit the rent with the Rent Authority under section 14 of that Act, and must do so within twenty-one days of the time fixed by section 13 and intimate the deposit to the Landlord, failing which section 15 renders the deposit invalid.

16.4 Besides the rent, sub-section (1) of section 8 of that Act makes the Tenant liable to pay maintenance charges at the rate of ten per cent of the rent and the pro rata property tax in relation to the Premises, and sub-section (2) entitles the Landlord to recover from the Tenant any amount he has paid towards electricity or water consumed or other charges levied by a local or other authority which are ordinarily payable by the Tenant. Clauses 3, 4 and 11 of Part I give effect to that section. All arrears of property tax, electricity charges and water charges relating to any period before __________ are the Landlord's liability and shall be cleared by the Landlord before delivering possession.

16.5 Where the Landlord lawfully increases the rent under section 9 of that Act on account of expenditure on any improvement, addition or structural alteration, by an amount not exceeding ten per cent of that cost per year, he shall first give the Tenant notice of his intention in the Form specified in Schedule V to that Act, as section 10 requires, served in the manner provided in section 106 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882. An increase under section 9 is separate from, and additional to, the increases in clause 9 of Part I.

1. REPAIRS — HOW THE STATUTORY MACHINERY WORKS

17.1 Clauses 5 and 6 of Part I allocate the repairs. "Good and tenantable repairs" means, by the Explanation to section 17 of the Punjab Rent Act, 1995, such repairs as shall keep the Premises in the same condition in which they were let out except for the normal wear and tear.

17.2 THE TENANT MAY NOT REPAIR AND DEDUCT WITHOUT PERMISSION. Where a repair falling under Part 'A' of Schedule II, without which the Premises are not habitable or useable except with undue inconvenience, is to be made and the Landlord neglects or fails to make it within a period of three months after notice in writing, sub-section (2) of section 17 requires the Tenant to apply to the Rent Authority for permission to make the repair himself, submitting an estimate of the cost. Only after the Rent Authority, having heard the Landlord, permits the repair by an order in writing specifying the cost may the Tenant make it and deduct the cost, and the deduction may in no case exceed the amount so specified. The amount deducted or recovered from rent in any year shall not exceed one-half of the rent payable for that year, and any balance is carried to subsequent years at not more than twenty-five per cent of the rent for a month. Where a building holds more than one premises of the same Landlord, the tenants may jointly carry out the repairs and share the expenses proportionately.

17.3 Sub-section (3) of section 17 withholds that remedy where the Premises at the time of letting were not habitable or useable except with undue inconvenience and the Tenant agreed to take them in that condition, or were made so by the Tenant after being let out.

17.4 Correspondingly, under sub-section (2) of section 18, if the Tenant neglects a Part 'B' repair for sixty days after notice in writing, the Landlord may apply to the Rent Authority for permission to make it and recover the cost from the Tenant.

17.5 Under sub-section (4) of section 18 the Tenant shall make good all damage caused to the Premises by the Tenant's negligence within ninety days of being informed in writing to do so, failing which the Landlord may apply to the Rent Authority. Under sub-section (6), the Tenant shall not, during the tenancy or afterwards, demolish any improvement or alteration carried out by the Tenant or remove any material used in it, other than a fixture of a removable nature, without the Landlord's permission.

1. TENANT'S FURTHER OBLIGATIONS

18.1 By section 26 of the Punjab Rent Act, 1995, without the previous consent in writing of the Landlord the Tenant shall not sub-let the whole or any part of the Premises, nor transfer or assign his right in the tenancy or any part of it. Where sub-letting is consented to, notice of the creation of the sub-tenancy shall be given to the Landlord within one month, and its termination notified in the Form specified in Schedule X to that Act, as section 27 requires.

18.2 The Tenant shall not make any structural addition or alteration to the Premises, nor demolish or remove any part of them, nor do any act which materially impairs the value or utility of the Premises, without the previous consent in writing of the Landlord. The Parties note that causing substantial damage to the Premises, or such alteration as changes their identity or diminishes their value, is a ground of eviction under clause (k) of sub-section (2) of section 20, and that the Explanation to that clause treats damage costing six months' rent or more as substantial.

18.3 The Tenant shall not change the user of the Premises from the purpose stated in clause 14.1.

18.4 Where the Premises are let for use as a residence, the Tenant shall not allow a state of affairs in which neither the Tenant nor any member of the Tenant's family has been residing in the Premises for a period of six months, that being a ground of eviction under clause (c) of sub-section (2) of section 20.

18.5 Neither Party shall, without just and sufficient cause, cut off or withhold any essential supply or service enjoyed by the other in respect of the Premises. By section 19 of that Act "essential supply or service" includes the supply of water and electricity, lights in passages and on staircases, and conservancy and sanitary services; the aggrieved Party may apply to the Rent Authority, which may order immediate restoration pending inquiry and may direct compensation not exceeding one thousand rupees against either the offender or a frivolous complainant.

18.6 The Tenant shall comply with all bye-laws, rules and orders of the municipal corporation, municipal council, nagar panchayat, improvement trust, development authority, distribution licensee or other authority applying to the Premises or to the Tenant's occupation of them.

1. LANDLORD'S COVENANTS, INSPECTION AND THE ROOF

19.1 The Landlord covenants that the Landlord has good right and full authority to let the Premises, and that the Tenant, paying the rent and other charges and performing the obligations in this agreement, shall peaceably hold and enjoy the Premises during the Term without interruption by the Landlord or any person claiming under the Landlord.

19.2 Under sub-section (3) of section 18 of the Punjab Rent Act, 1995 the Landlord, or a person authorised by him, has the right to enter and inspect the Premises after notice to the Tenant in the Form specified in Schedule VI to that Act, which states the date and time of the intended inspection. The Landlord shall give that notice not less than twenty-four hours before the inspection and shall inspect at a reasonable hour; the Tenant shall keep himself or a representative available and the Premises open.

19.3 By sub-section (1) of section 33 the Landlord has the right to construct further storeys on the roof, and by clause (g) of section 2 the terrace is not part of the Premises. By sub-section (2) of section 33, if the Landlord wishes to reconstruct or renovate a building more than twenty-five years old for which the required sanction has been obtained, the Tenant shall temporarily vacate on three months' notice, the Tenant gets first priority for occupation on revised rent, and no other compensation is payable.

19.4 During the last two months of the Term, or after a notice under clause 8 of Part I has been given, the Landlord may show the Premises to prospective tenants at a reasonable hour on twenty-four hours' prior notice.

1. ARREARS, EVICTION AND THE LIMITED PERIOD TENANCY

20.1 The Parties record that, under clause (a) of sub-section (2) of section 20 of the Punjab Rent Act, 1995, where the Tenant has neither paid nor tendered the whole of the arrears of rent and other charges payable for three or more consecutive months, the Landlord may serve on the Tenant a notice of demand in the Form specified in Schedule VII to that Act, in the manner provided in section 106 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, requiring payment of the arrears with interest at fifteen per cent per annum for the period of default within two months of receipt. The benefit of such a notice is available to a tenant only once in respect of the same premises.

20.2 If the arrears are not paid within those two months the Landlord may apply to the Rent Authority in the Form specified in Schedule XII to that Act for recovery of possession. During those proceedings section 25 requires the Tenant to keep paying rent and other charges at the rate at which they were last being paid. Under sub-section (10) of section 38, an ejectment order carries an order for arrears with interest at fifteen per cent per annum, recoverable as arrears of land revenue.

20.3 Sub-section (1) of section 20 provides that no order or decree for recovery of possession shall be made in favour of a landlord against a tenant save on a ground specified in sub-section (2). THE EXPIRY OF THE TERM IS NOT BY ITSELF SUCH A GROUND. Clause 10 of Part I obliges the Tenant to hand over vacant possession on expiry, and a tenant who, having agreed in writing to a date to vacate, does not do so is liable to eviction under clause (p) of sub-section (2) of section 20; but the Landlord who wants possession to follow automatically on the expiry of a fixed term of a residence must have obtained the permission of the Rent Authority under section 31 in the Form specified in Schedule XIV BEFORE letting, as Recital E records. Where that permission has been obtained, section 31 empowers the Rent Authority to place the Landlord in vacant possession on expiry notwithstanding section 20, and to award damages at double the last rent together with interest at fifteen per cent per annum from the date of the order until actual vacation.

20.4 Nothing in this clause creates a ground of eviction the Act does not give, or limits any ground it does.

1. HANDOVER AT THE END

21.1 On the expiry of the Term, or on its earlier determination in accordance with law, the Tenant shall deliver vacant, peaceful and physical possession of the Premises to the Landlord, together with the fittings and fixtures listed in Part B of the Schedule, in the same condition in which they were received, normal wear and tear excepted, as sub-section (5) of section 18 of the Punjab Rent Act, 1995 requires.

21.2 The Tenant shall on that date hand over all keys and produce the last paid receipts for property tax, electricity and water charges relating to the Premises.

21.3 Any fixture of a removable nature installed by the Tenant may be removed by the Tenant on vacating, and the Tenant shall make good any damage caused by its removal. Nothing else installed or altered by the Tenant may be removed or demolished without the Landlord's permission.

21.4 Where the Tenant exercises the option in clause 8 of Part I, the Tenant shall pay the rent and other charges up to the expiry of the three months' notice whether or not the Tenant remains in occupation for the whole of it, and clause 15.3 applies to the refund of the security deposit.

1. TENANT INFORMATION TO THE POLICE

22.1 The Tenant shall, within seven days of taking possession, furnish to the Landlord full particulars of the Tenant and of every other person who will reside in or occupy the Premises, together with copies of their photo identity documents and passport-size photographs, so that the Landlord may comply with any prohibitory order for the time being in force in District __________ under section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023 requiring a landlord to report tenant particulars to the police.

22.2 Where such an order is in force, the Landlord shall submit the tenant information to the police station having jurisdiction over the Premises, or through the Punjab Police Saanjh portal at ppsaanjh.in, or at a Sewa Kendra, and shall give the Tenant a copy of the acknowledgement.

22.3 The Tenant shall inform the Landlord in writing of any change in the persons occupying the Premises within seven days of the change.

1. REGISTRATION

23.1 The Parties shall together present this agreement for registration before __________, and shall appear before that officer with their photo identity documents and with the witnesses named below.

23.2 In accordance with the Form specified in Schedule I to the Punjab Rent Act, 1995, this agreement has been typed on bond paper in three copies — one for the Landlord, one for the Tenant, and the third for the Registering Authority, which retains it. Each Party signs all three copies.

23.3 The registration fee of one thousand rupees prescribed by sub-section (2) of section 4 of that Act, and any stamp duty and other charge lawfully demanded by the Registering Authority, shall be borne by the Tenant; the Landlord shall bear the cost of producing the title and tax documents required at the counter. Each Party shall do everything reasonably required of that Party to complete the registration, and neither Party shall withhold appearance before the Registering Authority.

23.4 The Parties present clauses 1 to 12 as the terms and conditions of the Form specified in Schedule I. If the Registering Authority requires the supplemental terms in Part II or Part C of the Schedule to be presented separately, or to be deleted before the Form is accepted, the Parties shall do so, and the deletion shall affect neither Part I nor the validity of the tenancy.

1. GOVERNING LAW AND FORUM

24.1 This agreement is governed by the Punjab Rent Act, 1995 and by the other laws in force in Punjab.

24.2 Any application arising out of this tenancy lies to the Rent Authority having jurisdiction over the Premises, appointed by the State Government by notification under sub-section (1) of section 36 of that Act. In practice such applications are filed in the Court of the Rent Controller-cum-Civil Judge (Junior Division) at the District Courts, District __________, and the Parties shall file before the officer exercising that jurisdiction on the date of filing. Every application must certify that the Premises are situated within the municipal limits which are under the territorial jurisdiction of that Rent Authority.

24.3 An appeal from an order of the Rent Authority lies to the Appellate Authority on whom the State Government has conferred those powers under section 50 of that Act, except — by clause (b) of sub-section (1) of that section — in a matter concerning the registration of agreements referred to in sub-section (2) of section 4.

24.4 By section 69 of that Act, save as otherwise expressly provided in it, no civil court shall entertain any suit or proceeding in so far as it relates to a matter to which that Act applies or which the Rent Authority is empowered to decide, and no civil court shall grant an injunction in respect of action taken or to be taken by the Rent Authority.

1. NOTICES

25.1 Every notice under this agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered by hand against acknowledgement, or sent by registered post with acknowledgement due or by speed post, to the Landlord at __________ and to the Tenant at the Premises and at __________.

25.2 A notice sent by registered or speed post shall be deemed served on the expiry of the seventh day after posting, whether or not it is accepted.

25.3 A notice of demand for arrears under clause 20.1, and a notice of intention to revise rent under clause 16.5, shall in addition be served in the manner provided in section 106 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, and in the Form the Punjab Rent Act, 1995 specifies for it.

1. GENERAL

26.1 This agreement records the whole of what has been agreed between the Parties about the Premises and supersedes every earlier understanding, whether written or oral.

26.2 No variation of this agreement is effective unless it is in writing, signed by both Parties, and — where the Punjab Rent Act, 1995 so requires — made in the Form specified in Schedule I to that Act and registered.

26.3 Nothing in this agreement operates to take away, reduce or contract out of any right conferred, or any obligation imposed, by the Punjab Rent Act, 1995. If any provision of this agreement is inconsistent with that Act, that Act prevails and the remaining provisions continue in force. Where a supplemental term in Part II or in Part C of the Schedule is inconsistent with a clause of Part I, the clause of Part I prevails.

26.4 On the death of the Tenant the tenancy devolves as section 5 of that Act provides and not otherwise, and nothing in this agreement enlarges or curtails that section.

26.5 The failure or delay of either Party to insist on the performance of any obligation is not a waiver of that obligation. If any provision of this agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions continue in force.
