Key terms explained
11-month term vs registered lease
An 11-month Leave & License is the most common format because a lease of 12 months or more triggers compulsory registration under the Registration Act, 1908. Keeping it to 11 months (renewable) avoids that in most states.
Stamp duty & registration
Stamp duty is a state tax paid on the agreement value (rent + deposit); rates vary by state. Registration (at the Sub-Registrar) is mandatory for terms of 12 months+ in many states, and for Leave & License in states such as Maharashtra regardless of term.
Notarised agreement
A notarised agreement is signed before a Notary Public, who attests the signatures. Notarisation adds credibility but is not a substitute for registration where registration is legally required.
e-Stamp paper
e-Stamping (via SHCIL / state portals) is the digital replacement for physical stamp paper. Buy an e-stamp of the correct value, print the agreement on it, and get it signed — a fraud-resistant, verifiable alternative.
Questions people ask
Short answers on Rent Agreement Generator. Tap a question to open it.
01Why are rent agreements usually for 11 months?
Because a lease of twelve months or more must be registered under the Registration Act, which adds stamp duty and registration cost. An eleven-month leave and licence arrangement avoids compulsory registration while still being enforceable.
02Is a rent agreement valid without registration?
A leave and licence agreement under eleven months is generally enforceable if properly stamped. Several states, notably Maharashtra, nonetheless require registration of leave and licence agreements irrespective of the term.
03What stamp duty applies?
It is a state levy, usually computed on the rent and deposit for the term. The agreement must be executed on stamp paper of the correct value, or e-stamped where the state provides for it.
04What clauses matter most?
Rent, escalation and due date, security deposit and the timeline for its return, the lock-in period, notice period for either side, responsibility for maintenance and repairs, permitted use, and who bears society charges and utility bills.
05Do I need the agreement for an HRA claim?
It helps. For HRA, keep the agreement, rent receipts, and proof of payment — and the landlord's PAN if annual rent exceeds ₹1 lakh. Employers routinely ask for the agreement when the claim is large.
