A clear, registered agreement protects both landlord and tenant.
Most residential and commercial lettings in Mumbai are documented as a leave and licence agreement. A vague or unregistered one is the root of most rent disputes. We draft it properly and take care of stamp duty and registration.
What we do
- Draft the leave and licence or rental agreement to fit your arrangement
- Include clear clauses on deposit, deductions, lock-in, notice, repairs and possession
- Work out stamp duty and arrange registration
- Advise on society NOC and police intimation requirements
- Review an agreement you have been asked to sign
Leave and licence or rental agreement?
The two are legally different. A leave and licence gives permission to occupy without creating tenancy rights; a rental (lease) agreement can create tenancy rights. Read our full comparison.
Frequently asked questions
Does the agreement have to be registered?
Registration is what makes the document dependable as evidence and is required under Maharashtra rules. We confirm the requirements for your case.
Who pays stamp duty and registration charges?
That is usually agreed between the parties; we record it in the agreement.
What happens if the deposit is disputed?
A specific deduction clause and refund timeline in the agreement decide most deposit disputes. We draft these clearly.
