- Residential Rent Agreement, 11 Months (Kiraya Nama)Use this when an individual owner is letting a flat, a floor or a house to an individual to live in, for the standard eleven-month term, and the premises are either in the Union Territory of Chandigarh or in Punjab and outside the reach of the Punjab Rent Act, 1995. It covers rent, deposit, who repairs what, notice period, lock-in and how the tenancy ends, and it is drafted to stay outside compulsory registration under section 17(1)(d) of the Registration Act, 1908. Settle the Punjab question first, because it decides whether you may use this document at all. Section 4 of the Punjab Rent Act, 1995 abolished the eleven-month workaround for the premises that Act covers. For those premises a letting must be in writing, must be in the form set out in Schedule I appended to the Act, and must be registered on payment of a registration fee of ₹1,000 — and section 4(2) says so notwithstanding the Registration Act, 1908, just as section 4(1) says so notwithstanding section 107 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882. But section 3 pulls a large class of premises straight back out. The Act does not apply to premises let out before its commencement on 30 November 2013 (section 3(1)(a)), to government premises (section 3(1)(b)), or — this is the one that matters most — to any premises constructed on or after the commencement of the Act, for a period of fifteen years from the date of completion of construction (section 3(1)(c)). Read the opening words of section 3(1)(c), because they are the words people drop. The exemption is not "any building less than fifteen years old". It is any building constructed on or after 30 November 2013 and then only for fifteen years from completion. A house completed in 2011 or 2012 and first let in 2026 is thirteen or fifteen years old, but it was not constructed on or after commencement, so section 3(1)(c) does not touch it — and if it was first let after 30 November 2013, section 3(1)(a) does not save it either, so the Punjab Rent Act, 1995 applies to it in full and this document is the wrong document. What section 3(1)(c) does cover is the new-build stock: the flats, floors and kothis put up in Mohali, Zirakpur, Kharar and the newer parts of Ludhiana and Jalandhar since 30 November 2013 and still within fifteen years of their completion certificate. Those tenancies are outside rent control altogether and are pure contract. That is exactly what this document is for. Keep the completion or occupation certificate with the agreement, because the date on it is the whole of your case for using this form. Chandigarh has no statutory form at all, which is why this template exists there too. The East Punjab Urban Rent Restriction Act, 1949, extended to the Union Territory by the East Punjab Urban Rent Restriction (Extension to Chandigarh) Act, 1974 (Central Act 54 of 1974), prescribes no form of tenancy agreement and requires no registration of one. The parties write their own bargain, and this is it. What a Chandigarh landlord must understand is the other half of that Act: rent control there applies to every tenanted building whatever the rent. The Administrator's notification of 7 November 2002, which purported to exempt buildings let at more than ₹1,500 a month, was quashed by the Supreme Court in Vasu Dev Singh v. Union of India, Civil Appeals Nos. 4688-4694 of 2006, decided 7 November 2006, and no replacement notification has been traced. A ₹60,000-a-month flat in Sector 9 is a rent-controlled building. Two consequences follow, and both are easy to miss. First, recovering possession means an application to the Rent Controller on a section 13 ground — not a notice under Clause 15 followed by a change of locks. Second, the same Act allows either party to apply to the Rent Controller under section 4 to have the fair rent of the building determined, and a fair rent so fixed displaces the rent agreed in Clause 3 for as long as it stands; the figure the two of you write into Clause 3.1 is the contract between you, not the last word on what may be charged. Clause 3.5 of this draft says so on the face of the document. Do not use this document: - for Punjab premises that the Punjab Rent Act, 1995 does apply to — that is, a fresh letting after 30 November 2013 of a building that was not constructed on or after that date, or of a building constructed after it but now more than fifteen years past completion. Those need the Schedule I tenancy agreement, registered, on the ₹1,000 fee. An eleven-month agreement in this form does not save them; - for a shop, office, showroom, godown, clinic, coaching centre or any other non-residential letting. Non-residential premises in Punjab have their own regime under section 3(2) of the 1995 Act, under which a tenant who holds over beyond the contract is liable to double rent and to immediate dispossession through the Rent Authority; - where either side wants a term longer than eleven months. That is a lease deed, compulsorily registrable under section 17(1)(d) of the Registration Act, 1908, and stamped on the higher slabs; - for a paying-guest arrangement, a hostel, a barsati or a room in the owner's own house where the occupant does not get exclusive possession, and for short-stay letting through any holiday-rental or homestay platform; - where the landlord or the tenant is a company, LLP, HUF, trust, society or partnership firm, or where an employer is taking the flat for staff. Those need board or partner authority, a different execution block, and often a different tax treatment. One more check before you sign. If the Chandigarh property is a leasehold site allotted by the Estate Officer, or the Punjab property is on a plot allotted by GMADA, GLADA, PUDA or another development authority, the allotment letter and the estate rules usually control what the site may be used for and sometimes require intimation before it is let. Read the allotment conditions before the tenant moves in, not after a misuse notice arrives.₹399खोलें
- Leave and Licence AgreementUse this when you are giving a flat, house, shop or office to someone to occupy for a fixed period, and you want it to be a licence — permission to use — rather than a lease or tenancy, so the occupant gets no interest in the property and no rent-control protection. In Maharashtra this is the standard document instead of a rent agreement, and the law requires it to be in writing and registered.₹399खोलें
- Inventory and Fixtures ScheduleA dated handover condition record in the rent agreement — settles most deposit disputes.₹99खोलें
- Company Lease Agreement for an Employee ResidenceA company or LLP leasing a residence for an employee, not making the employee sole tenant, must separate three roles: the owner, the company liable for rent, and the replaceable employee. A term over one year is compulsorily registrable under s.17(1)(d), Registration Act 1908. Punjab/Chandigarh rent-control governs possession; ending employment doesn't authorise forcible removal.₹399खोलें
- Employer Letter of Undertaking for a TenantA landlord wants written confirmation from the employer before accepting the tenancy, or the employer offers housing support. The letter separates confirming employment, internal reimbursement, and directly guaranteeing rent — blur them and an HR letter reads as a payment guarantee. A term over a year is registrable under s.17(1)(d), Registration Act 1908, not this letter.₹99खोलें
- Guarantor Agreement for a TenancyThe landlord will proceed only if another person backs defined payment obligations. A proper guarantee identifies the tenancy, states what it covers, sets a cap and end date, and addresses later rent/term changes. The Contract Act, 1872 governs guarantee and suretyship, so vague wording can expose a guarantor more broadly than expected.₹399खोलें
- Move-in Handover ChecklistThe tenancy is starting and the parties are exchanging keys and possession — record the condition of walls, floors, doors, plumbing, fittings, appliances and cleaning, plus key counts. This checklist is evidence of starting condition, not a licence to deduct every later mark — and preserves raising a latent defect not visible at handover.मुफ़्तखोलें
- House Rules Annexure to a TenancyThe tenancy has the core rent/possession terms; the parties also need day-to-day rules for noise, guests, pets, smoking, parking, waste and security. An annexure keeps the lease uncluttered while making rules part of the record. It must not manufacture new eviction powers — rent-control still governs possession, and a breach should be cured through the tenancy process, not lock-changing.₹99खोलें
- Joint Tenancy Agreement for FlatmatesTwo or more adults renting one flat need more than a one-tenant agreement — the landlord must know who's a tenant, while flatmates need a record of rent/deposit shares and what happens if one leaves early. A 50/50 promise doesn't limit the landlord's claim if tenants are jointly and severally liable. A term over one year is registrable under s.17(1)(d), Registration Act 1908.₹399खोलें
- Registered Residential Lease DeedThe fuller deed-style residential letting, with the complete grant, property schedule and execution mechanics in one registrable instrument — apt where the term exceeds a year or title needs recital. S.17(1)(d), Registration Act 1908 makes it compulsorily registrable; present within 4 months (s.23), with limited late presentation (s.25). Punjab recognises both the Rent Act 1995 and saved EPURRA 1949 tracks.₹799खोलें
- Letter of Intent to Lease a HomeYou've agreed the main commercial points but aren't ready for the final tenancy. A letter of intent records the proposed rent, deposit, term, escalation, lock-in and notice before KYC and registration. The key question is whether it's a negotiation record or a binding contract — a lease over a year needs s.17(1)(d), Registration Act 1908.₹99खोलें
- Meter Reading Handover RecordKeys are handed over and the parties need one agreed baseline for electricity, water or gas meters — kept separate from the move-in checklist since readings are accounting facts you need at move-out. Without a joint reading, the first bill can include earlier consumption and spark a dispute.₹99खोलें
- Registered Rent Agreement (Three Years)For a three-year residential letting with terms settled — not an eleven-month form repeated informally: s.17(1)(d), Registration Act 1908 makes a lease over a year compulsorily registrable, presented within 4 months (s.23). Covers property, term, rent, deposit, repairs, subletting, lock-in and handover coherently. Punjab's rent-control track depends on the letting date/NRI position; Chandigarh runs under the East Punjab Urban Rent Restriction Act, 1949.₹399खोलें
- Furnished Premises Tenancy AgreementFor renting a home with owner-supplied furniture/fixtures — the risk isn't the sofa's existence, it's no signed baseline of what was supplied, its condition, and how damage is told apart from wear. Adds an inventory, move-in photos and a valuation rule. Over one year, s.17(1)(d), Registration Act 1908 requires registering the lease with the schedule. A missing item is a monetary issue, not grounds for self-help eviction.₹399खोलें
- Tenant Indemnity and UndertakingFor a landlord needing a written undertaking on a defined risk — tenant-caused damage, agreed-use compliance, or a temporary-possession condition — not a sweeping 'liable for everything' promise. Article 34, Punjab-amended stamp schedule treats an indemnity bond like a security bond, so stamping may differ from a plain covenant. A breach isn't a shortcut to eviction. Defines the obligation, loss scope, exclusions, cure period and any cap.₹199खोलें
- Tenant KYC and Document ChecklistFor a tenant who's passed screening — the landlord verifies identity, address and the limited records the tenancy file needs, not documents collected casually over messages. Separates KYC from screening and the tenancy agreement. Key point: data minimisation under the DPDP Act, 2023 — stated purpose, consent, controlled disclosure, erasure after use.₹99खोलें
- Tenant Application and Screening FormFor a prospective tenant, giving the owner/manager/broker enough to decide before signing — occupants, employment/income, tenancy history, references, vehicles, pets — plus limited authority to verify and contact references. Separate from the tenancy agreement and KYC checklist: submitting it doesn't create a tenancy or oblige either side to sign, absent a separate written commitment. A pre-tenancy decision tool under the Punjab Rent Act, 1995, not a way to disguise rent or possession terms.₹99खोलें
- Tenancy Agreement in the Schedule I Form (Kirayanama), Registered — Punjab Rent Act, 1995Punjab's statutory tenancy form, not a style choice. S.4(1), Punjab Rent Act 1995: every letting must be written (overrides s.107, TPA). S.4(2) (substituted, Act 33/2013, 16.4.2013): must use the Schedule I form AND register, overriding the Registration Act 1908, on a Rs 1,000 fee — no 11-month escape here. Clauses 1-12 (Part I) reproduce the Form's twelve terms: period, rent, maintenance, tenant's property tax, Schedule II repairs split, payment day, 3-month vacate option, s.6's 5%+index rises, expiry handover, tenant's electricity/water, Act-compliance, plus its registration endorsement. Clauses 13+/Schedule Part C are ADDED (deposit, inventory, statutory machinery, notices, police intimation) — not the Form (Recital F); cl.26.3 subordinates them to Part I, cl.23.4 strikes them if the Registering Authority wants the bare Form. Collate Part I against the Gazette Schedule I — the source here is corrupted twice. Use only if ALL FIVE hold: Punjab AND urban (s.1(2)/s.2(o) — a Corporation/Council/Nagar Panchayat/Cantonment area, or notified); first let on/after 30.11.2013 (Neeraj Malhotra v. Jaswant Singh, 2.8.2022, P&H HC); s.3(1)(c) excludes only buildings CONSTRUCTED on/after commencement, for 15 years from completion (dated by authority-intimation or tax assessment, whichever earlier — Expl. I; a 75%+ rebuild resets the clock — Expl. II) — anything completed earlier is never excluded; not Government/local-authority owned/let; not an unconveyed hire-purchase/lease/sub-lease allotment pending full ownership (s.3(1)(f)). Before a fixed term: s.20(1) bars possession except on s.20(2)'s grounds — expiry isn't one; a 3-year agreement alone won't return the house in 3 years. Only s.31 gives automatic possession on expiry, needing the Rent Authority's PRIOR permission (Schedule XIV) before letting, residential-only, up to 5 years, with damages at 2x rent + 15% interest till the tenant leaves; without it, only s.20(2)(p) (a broken written vacate promise) and a contested application. The form prints the answer into Recital E. Don't use this: for a pre-30.11.2013 letting (s.76(2) saves the 1949 East Punjab Urban Rent Restriction Act, except NRI-owned premises); for a sub-15-year-old post-30.11.2013 building (untouched by the Act — pure contract, 11-month terms still avoid s.17(1)(d) registration, common in new-build Ludhiana/Mohali/Jalandhar/Amritsar); or for Chandigarh (still the 1949 Act, Central Act 54/1974 — its 7.11.2002 rent-exemption notification was quashed in Vasu Dev Singh v. Union of India, Civil Appeals 4688-4694/2006, 7.11.2006; a borrowed 2021 statute the MHA extended here on 6.5.2026 was kept in abeyance by the P&H HC on 29.5.2026, continuing the 1949 Act, unverified after 30.5.2026). For non-residential premises, s.3(2)'s contract-renting rule applies during the contract's term (breach: double rent for the violation period, immediate Rent-Authority dispossession for the tenant, forfeited rent for the landlord) — non-residential (s.2(f)) means SOLELY business/trade, a shop-cum-flat (s.2(l)) is two premises with residential rent as one-third of a composite total; choosing non-residential/composite fills the s.3(2) election and prints clause 27; s.31's expiry-possession route applies only to a premises let AS A RESIDENCE. Date caution: s.1(4)'s commencement notification is untraced — the High Court says 30.11.2013, the text's metadata reads 16.4.2013 — since s.3(1)(a)/(c) and s.76 turn on commencement, a tenancy/building dated between those sits on a fault line (Recital D only says not let before EITHER date) — check the Gazette notification if yours falls there.₹399खोलें
- Tenant and Paying Guest Police Verification Report (Kirayedar Tasdeeq)You need this when you have let a house, a floor, a barsati, a servant quarter, a flat or a paying-guest room to somebody, and you now have to tell the police who that person is. In both Punjab and Chandigarh the duty is the landlord's, not the tenant's, and it does not go away because the tenant is a relative, a student, a colleague at work, or somebody a broker vouched for. The duty does not come from the rent law. It comes from a standing prohibitory order made by the District Magistrate under section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, which replaced section 144 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973. Disobeying such an order is an offence under section 223 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, which replaced section 188 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860. That matters in a practical way. These orders are made district by district, they run for a fixed period, typically about sixty days, and they are then re-promulgated. So the correct question is never "is tenant verification compulsory" but "what does the order in force in my district today actually require". A real example of the genre is the order of the Office of the District Magistrate, S.A.S. Nagar (Mohali), Ref. No. DCM/MA/2023/17994 dated 21 August 2023, issued under section 144 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973, which required landlords to report tenant particulars to the police and to report any change of tenant, and which was operative only from 11 August 2023 to 10 October 2023. That order has long lapsed. Before you file, open your own district's website or ask at the police station counter for the current order, and put its number and date into the field provided. In Chandigarh this is not a paper formality. Chandigarh Police has registered first information reports against property owners for not reporting their tenants, and has made arrests. The form used there is the Tenant/PG Information Proforma published by Chandigarh Police, and the completed form can be handed in at the area police station, at a police post, at a beat box or at a Sampark Centre. Use this template as the covering report and declaration that goes with that proforma, or as the full record you keep on your own file; where the police counter insists on their own printed proforma, copy the particulars across from here and attach this signed declaration to it. In Punjab the same information is normally submitted through the Saanjh citizen-services channel of the Punjab Police, through the eServices Punjab portal, or over the counter at a Sewa Kendra, and it is then processed by the police station of the area. Note that ppsaanjh.in now redirects to saanjh.punjabpolice.gov.in; both were checked on 6 September 2026 and the portal address moves from time to time, so start from the Punjab Police website rather than from a bookmark. Be clear about what this template does and does not collect, because the Saanjh screen asks for more than a name. It collects every substantive particular the two counters need: the landlord's own particulars and identity document, the address and description of the premises, the occupant's name, parentage, age, gender, occupation, employer or institution, mobile number, identity document and number, the native address down to the village with the police station that covers it, the previous address, the people who will live with the occupant, the terms, the antecedents declared, the vehicles, the previous occupant, and a local identifier. It also collects the four descriptive particulars the Saanjh form asks for that a landlord can honestly supply: identification marks, marital status, educational qualification, the date since which the occupant has been living in Punjab or Chandigarh, and the date the occupant last visited the native place. It deliberately does not collect religion, caste, height or complexion. Height and complexion are columns the operator fills from the identity document and the person in front of the counter, and a landlord's guess at them is worse than a blank. Religion and caste are sensitive personal particulars that this template will not put on a landlord's private file, and the occupant's consent recorded in this report does not extend to them. If the Saanjh screen or the printed proforma compels those columns, fill them at the counter from the occupant's own answer and identity document, not from this report. Do not use this template as a tenancy agreement. It records who is living in your property and reports it to the police; it creates no tenancy, fixes no rent, and gives you no ground of eviction. You still need a written agreement, and in Punjab, where the Punjab Rent Act, 1995 applies to the premises, section 4(1) makes a written agreement compulsory and section 4(2) makes registration of the Schedule I form compulsory. Do not use it as a police clearance certificate or a character certificate. Filing this report tells the police who your tenant is; it does not tell you. If you want to know whether the person has a record, that is the police verification exercise that follows, and the answer comes back to the police station, not to you. Do not use it for a person who is not in occupation of your premises as a tenant or paying guest. Domestic staff, drivers, gardeners and shop employees are covered by a separate servant verification proforma and a separate line in the District Magistrate's order; the particulars asked for are different and a tenant form filed for a servant will simply be returned. Do not use it to report a guest. A relative staying for a fortnight is not a tenant. The trigger is putting somebody into occupation of the premises on rent or on paying-guest terms, and the honest test is whether money or a money's worth is passing for the accommodation. Finally, do not treat this template as a substitute for the printed proforma where a printed proforma exists. Chandigarh Police publishes one and the Punjab Saanjh channel generates one from the online form. This document is the landlord's own signed report and declaration, drafted so that every substantive particular either counter will ask for is already written down, dated and signed by both sides.मुफ़्तखोलें

- Rent Receipt (Kiraya Rasid)Use this when rent has been paid for a house, flat, floor, kothi, barsati, portion or room in Punjab or in the Union Territory of Chandigarh, and the person who received the money is putting that fact in writing. Two quite different readers need the same piece of paper. For a tenant, it is what a payroll desk asks for before allowing House Rent Allowance, and what an assessing officer asks for afterwards. For a landlord in Punjab whose letting is governed by the Punjab Rent Act, 1995, issuing it is not good practice but a statutory duty with a price attached: section 13(2) of that Act entitles a tenant who pays in cash to obtain a signed written receipt forthwith, and section 13(3) allows the Rent Authority, on an application made by the tenant within two months of the payment, to order the landlord to pay damages of up to double the rent received, plus the costs of the application, and to grant the tenant a certificate for the rent paid instead. Chandigarh works differently, and it is worth knowing which side of the line you are on. The East Punjab Urban Rent Restriction Act, 1949, as extended to the Union Territory by Central Act 54 of 1974, has no receipt provision at all — no duty to issue one, no penalty for refusing. There a receipt is contractual and evidentiary only. It is still the most useful single sheet a tenant can hold, because the commonest ground of ejectment under that Act is non-payment of rent under section 13(2)(i), and rent control in Chandigarh reaches every tenanted building whatever the rent: the Administrator's notification of 7 November 2002, which purported to exempt buildings let at more than ₹1,500 a month, was quashed by the Supreme Court in Vasu Dev Singh v. Union of India, Civil Appeals Nos. 4688-4694 of 2006, decided 7 November 2006. In Punjab the receipt is the same sheet of paper whichever Act applies, but the remedy behind it is not, and the dividing line is the date of letting. Premises let on or after 30 November 2013 are under the Punjab Rent Act, 1995, with the section 13 duty and the section 13(3) remedy. Premises let before that date stay under the 1949 Act, saved for them by section 76(2) of the 1995 Act — the provision numbered section 75 in the Gazette text and referred to as section 75 by the Punjab and Haryana High Court in Neeraj Malhotra v. Jaswant Singh, the numbering having moved when the section was substituted by Punjab Act 33 of 2013 — with neither the duty nor the remedy. But that saving has a hole in it, and it is the one most likely to be missed here. Section 76(2) saves the 1949 Act for cases and proceedings on premises let before commencement other than NRI-owned premises. Where the landlord is a non-resident Indian, the 1995 Act track applies whenever the premises were let, and sections 3(1)(a), 24(3) and 75 were harmonised to that effect in Krishan Kumar v. Kamla Devi, 2016(1) RCR (Rent) 525. So a tenant of an NRI landlord in Ludhiana whose tenancy began in 2010 is not outside the receipt duty at all: the section 13(2) entitlement and the section 13(3) application for double damages within two months may well be his, and the receipt he is being refused is one he can compel. Then section 3 of the 1995 Act pulls a large class back out again. Most importantly section 3(1)(c), which puts a building constructed on or after 30 November 2013 outside the Act for fifteen years from completion of its construction. A tenancy of a 2019 flat in Mohali or a 2021 floor in Ludhiana is outside rent control altogether: there is no statutory receipt duty and no damages remedy, and this receipt is worth exactly what the contract and the evidence make it worth. Section 3(1) also excludes government and local authority premises, premises let to a citizen of a foreign country or to an embassy, high commission, legation, commission or notified international organisation, premises of a notified religious, charitable or educational trust, and premises let out by a person to whom a development authority or other local authority allotted them on hire-purchase, lease or sub-lease before full ownership rights accrued — a PUDA, GMADA or GLADA allottee who has not yet taken a conveyance deed. And a letting in a village or panchayat area in Punjab, outside every municipal corporation, municipal council, nagar panchayat, cantonment board and notified urban area, is reached by neither rent statute and runs on the Transfer of Property Act, 1882 alone. Do not use this document: - as proof that a tenancy exists, or of what its terms are. A receipt proves a payment and nothing more. Where the Punjab Rent Act, 1995 applies, the tenancy itself must be in the Form set out in Schedule I to that Act and registered with the Sub-Registrar on the ₹1,000 fee fixed by section 4(2); where it does not, use the eleven-month residential rent agreement. Issuing receipts month after month does not create, extend, prove or register a tenancy; - for a security deposit, advance rent, a maintenance or association bill, an electricity or water payment, house tax, a repair reimbursement or brokerage. Use a plain money receipt or the relevant bill. Folding those figures in overstates the rent, and only the rent component counts for House Rent Allowance; - as a tax invoice for commercial premises. Letting a residential dwelling for use as a residence is exempt from GST, but a shop, office, showroom, godown, clinic or coaching centre — or a residential dwelling taken on rent by a person registered under GST — can attract GST or reverse charge, and that needs a tax invoice; - where the landlord is a non-resident, without taking tax advice first. Tax on rent paid to a non-resident is deducted under the non-resident provisions, on the whole rent, with no monthly threshold and with a different return and certificate; nothing in this document or its notes addresses that. Note that the same fact cuts the other way on rent control: an NRI landlord takes the tenancy out of the 1949 Act saving in Punjab and into the 1995 Act; - to paper over payments that were not in fact made. A run of receipts written up in one sitting in February, with no agreement behind them and no bank trail, is the exact pattern a House Rent Allowance claim is disallowed on.मुफ़्तखोलें
- Security Deposit ReceiptUse this when a landlord takes a refundable security deposit at the start of a tenancy and the tenant needs proof of what was paid, when, and on what terms it comes back. It records the money as security and not as rent or a non-refundable premium — which is exactly what protects the refund later and keeps the tax position clean.मुफ़्तखोलें
- Advance Rent ReceiptYou paid rent early and need a record of what's received, the period covered, and the adjustment. Punjab Rent Act 1995 s.13(2) entitles a cash-paying tenant to a signed receipt forthwith; s.13(3) lets the Rent Authority award up to double the rent plus costs within two months. In Chandigarh, a receipt is key evidence under EPURRA 1949.मुफ़्तखोलें

In Punjab, cash payments engage the s.13 rent-receipt protection, Punjab Rent Act, 1995.₹99खोलें
- Rent Revision AddendumFor changing residential rent by agreement, not applying an existing escalation clause. Identifies the original agreement, old/new rent, effective date, and deposit adjustment. Changes only the stated terms — shouldn't accidentally extend or replace the lease.₹399खोलें
- Security Deposit Interest StatementStates a deposit's interest treatment plainly — payable or not, period, rate/basis, resulting amount — since disputes arise when one side assumes interest accrues and the other doesn't. Creates a clean account rather than leaving the basis assumed.₹99खोलें
- Intimation of TDS on Rent (Section 194-IB)For high rent, telling the landlord how withholding tax is handled. Section 194-IB (Income-tax Act, 1961) covered tenants paying over ₹50,000/month, at 2% from 1 Oct 2024 — but from 1 April 2026 the Income-tax Act/Rules, 2025-26 govern new events. Identify the correct regime; otherwise the landlord may reconcile rent wrong.₹99खोलें

- Landlord NOC for GST Registration and Business LicencesWhen GST, the ROC or a bank needs the owner's no-objection for that business address — stating what's agreed, and what isn't.₹99खोलें
- Landlord Consent for a PetYou want a pet and the tenancy needs landlord permission. Name the particular pet — not just 'pets allowed' — and set conditions for common areas and damage. The tenancy otherwise continues unchanged.₹99खोलें
- Landlord Consent for SublettingSubletting needs landlord consent — unlike a guest, it's a secondary occupation. Name the sub-tenant, portion, dates, sub-rent and the tenant's liability; no direct landlord-subtenant relationship arises from consent alone. Unauthorised subletting risks serious rent-law consequences.₹99खोलें
- Landlord NOC for Broadband InstallationThe broadband provider wants owner consent before fibre, cable or a wall penetration — approve the exact route and restoration duty rather than a blanket NOC. It doesn't extend the tenancy or make the landlord liable for the account.₹99खोलें
- Landlord NOC for an Electricity ConnectionThe electricity office needs owner consent for a new connection, name change or load request, affecting the meter board and wiring — record the exact request and limits rather than an open-ended NOC. This NOC isn't proof of ownership or of a tenancy beyond its term.मुफ़्तखोलें
- Landlord NOC for a Gas ConnectionThe gas supplier needs owner consent before installing a connection — meter, regulator, piping, drilling — so state what work is allowed and who pays. This gives ownership-side consent while limiting structural work; not proof of a tenancy beyond its term.₹99खोलें
- Landlord NOC for a Water ConnectionThe municipal body or water provider needs owner consent for a domestic connection, meter or restoration — work touching common risers and internal plumbing — so state what's authorised, where the meter goes, and who pays. It neither proves ownership nor extends the tenancy.₹99खोलें
- Landlord Permission for AlterationsYou want to drill, install or change a rented home, and the tenancy needs landlord consent. Verbal permission risks disagreement on what's allowed, who pays, and restoration. This fixes scope, separates structural from non-structural work, allocates cost.₹99खोलें
- Landlord Repair UndertakingThe landlord has accepted repair work is needed, and both sides need more than 'we'll look into it' — this undertaking fixes scope, inspection date, start date, completion, cost and access. It stops a repair being read as an automatic rent waiver.₹199खोलें
- Notice of Entry for InspectionFor inspecting a rented home on proper notice, not unrestricted entry just because you own it. Fixes date, time window, purpose, scope and access method. Possession can't be bypassed by self-help — a reasonable request, not authority to force entry.₹99खोलें
- Intimation to the Society of a Tenant in OccupationFor letting/taking a home in a housing society, giving it a formal occupation record — who's in occupation, tenancy start, contacts, vehicles, access-card needs — without becoming a repository for full Aadhaar, PAN or unrelated KYC. Informs the society of occupation without making it a party to the tenancy, which stays between landlord and tenant.₹99खोलें
- Tenant Consent for Showing the PropertyFor a landlord showing a still-occupied rented home to prospective tenants or buyers — a defined period, time windows, notice, visitor limits and photo/privacy conditions. Controlled access, not unlimited entry, since possession can't be bypassed by self-help.₹99खोलें
- Tenant Repair Request LetterFor a defect in the rented home — a dated record before it worsens or the parties dispute timing. States the defect, urgency, first-noticed date, and access windows, without admitting fault or threatening an unestablished deduction.₹99खोलें

- Tenant's Notice of Intention to VacateFor moving out — notifies the landlord in writing on a date that counts, fixes the handover day, and requests joint inspection and deposit refund together.₹99खोलें
- Notice to Quit (Section 106, Transfer of Property Act)Ends a month-to-month tenancy under section 106, Transfer of Property Act, 1882 — the notice a court expects before a possession suit.₹99खोलें
- Vacant Possession Handover Letter and No-Dues CertificateFor the day a tenant hands back keys — records possession given, inspection/meter readings, cleared dues, and that neither side can reopen it later.₹99खोलें
- Notice About Goods Left BehindYou've regained possession and found belongings that look like the former tenant's. Don't treat them as abandoned — record where stored and set a collection deadline. This notice claims no right to sell or discard just because the deadline passes.₹99खोलें
- Deposit Deduction StatementYou're settling the deposit after move-out and need an itemised account, not one unexplained deduction — rent, utilities, damage, cleaning, missing items, evidence relied on, wear-and-tear treatment, netted to a refund. It preserves disputing one item without losing the rest.₹99खोलें
- Deposit Refund Receipt and DischargeThe landlord is refunding the deposit; the tenant must acknowledge what's received without giving up other claims. A good receipt shows the deposit, entitlement, deductions and net amount. 'Full and final settlement' can be broader than intended, so this lets tenants limit discharge to the deposit received, or a wider settlement if chosen.₹99खोलें
- Final Settlement of Accounts on a TenancyYou're completing move-out and need one final account of who owes what once rent, utilities, damage and deposit are netted off — it can record possession, keys and balance due. Broad settlement language can extinguish claims, so this keeps reconciliation separate from release.₹99खोलें
- Move-out Handover ChecklistYou're handing the home back at tenancy end and need a record of condition, keys, devices, inventory, damage and whether vacant possession was accepted. This bridges to deposit settlement — deductions should match what was observed, not memory.₹99खोलें
- Lock-in Period Waiver LetterThe landlord agrees to waive all or part of the financial consequence of ending the tenancy during a lock-in. The waiver states what's forgiven, what (if any) remains payable, and whether it depends on a replacement tenant. It preserves unrelated dues unless expressly released.₹99खोलें
- Mutual Termination of TenancyFor ending a tenancy by mutual agreement on a chosen date, separating termination from later accounting. Fixes the end date, possession timing, rent through that date, deposit method, and surviving claims. Unlike a unilateral notice, both sides agree the exit — rights still can't be bypassed by self-help.₹399खोलें
- Notice to Quit for Non-Payment of RentFor a landlord with unpaid rent, stating arrears precisely — not implying a demand letter permits lockout. Covers the unpaid period, total demand, deadline and delivery evidence, plus termination/possession only where legally appropriate. A statutory tenant isn't evicted by a section 106 notice alone; Punjab runs two rent-act tracks by letting history/NRI status, Chandigarh under the 1949 Act.₹99खोलें
- Deed of Surrender of TenancyFor a tenant actually yielding up tenancy and possession now, not just agreeing to end it later. Identifies the tenancy, surrender date, possession delivery, keys/rent/deposit, and separates future rights from accrued claims — key where the original lease was registered. Doesn't legitimise self-help.₹799खोलें
- Tenancy Extension LetterFor continuing a tenancy briefly without rewriting the agreement — new expiry date, rent, deposit and any clause changes, finite with no automatic renewal right. If the extended term exceeds one year, the Registration Act, 1908 can apply — use this only where that fits.₹99खोलें
- Tenancy Renewal AgreementFor a fresh tenancy term after the old one expires, with renewed rent and terms — not a casual extension letter for a substantial term. States new dates, rent, escalation, deposit and lock-in. Over one year, registration is required under s.17(1)(d), Registration Act, 1908, within four months (s.23), with the limited s.25 extension.₹399खोलें

- Bed Space Licence AgreementYou're taking one bed in a shared room, not a room or home, so the document must make that occupation unmistakable — the bed, capacity, locker, charges, deposit, quiet hours, reallocation rights. It must not read as exclusive possession, consistent with a s.52 Easements Act, 1882 licence, not a lease. The owner/operator carries the police-verification duty; ending it runs on licence terms, not TPA s.106.₹399खोलें
- Flatmate Cost-Sharing AgreementYou share a home with another authorised occupant and need to divide costs without creating a tenancy, sublease or licence between yourselves — money only: each person's share of the housing charge, utilities, groceries, cleaning, purchases, deposit and early-exit costs. The right to occupy comes from the owner/host's separate lease or consent; reimbursing half the cost doesn't create a property interest.₹399खोलें
- Hostel Admission and Accommodation AgreementAdmitting someone to a hostel needs admission terms, room/bed allocation, fees, discipline, access and exit rules in one instrument. A resident isn't granted exclusive possession — this is a personal licence under s.52, Easements Act 1882, with the operator controlling the facility and a limited right to reallocate rooms for safety. The owner/operator carries the police-verification duty; it doesn't rely on TPA s.106.₹399खोलें
- Notice to Vacate a Paying Guest AccommodationFor ending PG/hostel occupation with a clear exit notice, not tenancy language. A paying guest is a licensee under section 52, Easements Act, 1882 — covers expiry, contractual/breach-based withdrawal, mutual exit, or the guest's own notice. Expressly NOT a section 106 notice; claims no rent-act protection. States the handover date, keys/deposit process, and a no-self-help boundary.₹99खोलें
- Paying Guest AgreementFor taking a room as a paying guest, recording the arrangement without it becoming a tenancy. A licence under section 52, Easements Act, 1882 — control stays with the host, no exclusive possession; covers charges, deposit, utilities, meals, visitors, keys and exit. Records the owner's PG police-verification duty, not the guest's. If the host stops exercising real control, the label alone can't save the licence.₹399खोलें
- Paying Guest House Rules and Code of ConductFor an existing PG/hostel licence needing a separate, enforceable code of conduct — quiet hours, visitors, keys, smoking, cooking, privacy, parking, pets, emergencies. Since occupation is a licence under section 52, Easements Act, 1882, acknowledging these rules must not read as accepting a tenancy. Police-verification stays the owner/host's duty, not the guest's. Ordinary breaches get a warning; violence or safety risk can escalate under the main agreement.₹99खोलें
- Paying Guest Security Deposit ReceiptFor a PG/hostel security deposit, proving the amount received without calling it rent or implying tenancy. Ties the money to the licence record, payment method, and what it secures; deductions must be itemised at exit. A licence under section 52, Easements Act, 1882 — no tenancy or rent-act protection results. Article 53, Stamp Act 1899 needs a revenue stamp above ₹5,000, subject to exemptions.₹99खोलें
