The Landlord Rental Agreement is a crucial legal document used in India when a property owner (landlord) agrees to let their property to another party (tenant) for residential or commercial purposes. This document is essential for protecting the interests of both parties and ensuring legal compliance with Indian property laws, including the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, state-specific rent control acts, and the Model Tenancy Act, 2021. The agreement should be properly stamped and registered when the lease period exceeds 11 months, as per the Registration Act, 1908. It typically includes detailed terms about rent, security deposit, maintenance responsibilities, duration, renewal options, and termination conditions. The document serves as a legally binding contract that can be enforced in Indian courts and helps prevent potential disputes by clearly defining all terms of the rental arrangement.
