Document background
The Lease Agreement Between Landlord And Tenant is a fundamental legal document used in India when a property owner (landlord) agrees to rent their property to another party (tenant). This agreement is essential for both residential and commercial property transactions and must comply with the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, the Indian Contract Act, 1872, and relevant state-specific rent control laws. The document is required for any lease arrangement exceeding 11 months and must be registered under the Registration Act, 1908. It serves to protect the interests of both parties by clearly defining their rights, responsibilities, and obligations, including rent payment terms, security deposit details, maintenance responsibilities, and termination conditions. The agreement becomes particularly important in case of disputes and provides a legal framework for the lease relationship.
