What is Rent / Lease Agreement Drafting?
A Rent/Lease Agreement (also called a Leave and License Agreement in many states) is a legal contract that sets out the terms under which a landlord permits a tenant to occupy a property — including rent, deposit, duration, and responsibilities of each party. A properly drafted agreement protects both the landlord's property rights and the tenant's occupancy rights, and is often required for address proof, utility connections, and business registrations.
"Leases of immovable property from year to year, or for any term exceeding one year, or reserving a yearly rent... [require] registration." — Registration Act, 1908, Section 17(1)(d)
