The Exclusive Rental Agreement is a crucial legal instrument used in the Indian real estate market when a property owner wishes to grant exclusive possession and use rights to a tenant while maintaining ownership. This document is particularly relevant when parties require a formal, comprehensive rental arrangement that ensures the tenant's exclusive right to occupy and use the property, preventing the landlord from renting the same property to others during the lease term. The agreement must comply with various Indian laws, including state-specific Rent Control Acts, the Transfer of Property Act, and local registration requirements. It is commonly used for both residential and commercial properties, particularly in situations where the tenant requires guaranteed exclusive access and usage rights, such as for business premises, long-term residential leases, or corporate housing arrangements.
