Description
Rent out or take on rent with a sound, written agreement
Most rent disputes come from a weak agreement: no clear deposit terms, no inventory, the wrong stamp paper, or a lease that needed registration and was never registered. This set explains the law in plain language and gives you complete, editable agreements and supporting formats written from the bare Acts.
What is inside
- Guide: lease under section 105 of the Transfer of Property Act and licence under section 52 of the Easements Act, and how courts tell them apart.
- Why 11 month agreements are common: the registration rule under section 107 TPA and section 17(1)(d) of the Registration Act, and the effect of non-registration.
- Stamp duty, with the Uttar Pradesh lease stamp duty caps notified in November 2025.
- The Model Tenancy Act, 2021 and its status.
- Uttar Pradesh after the Allahabad High Court ruling of 21 August 2026 (Inder Bhushan Sawhney v. Kanchan Kumari Jain), which struck down the rent revision and Rent Authority eviction provisions of the 2021 Tenancy Act: what fell, what still stands (written agreement, intimation, deposit cap) and how rent and eviction now work under the Transfer of Property Act.
- Maharashtra: compulsory registration of leave and licence under section 55 of the Maharashtra Rent Control Act, 1999.
- Police verification of tenants, key clauses explained, common mistakes and a signing checklist.
- Agreements: residential rent agreement for 11 months (English and Hindi), UP tenancy agreement revised for the August 2026 ruling, with the First Schedule information form, leave and licence agreement (Maharashtra style) and commercial shop lease.
