Residential Lease

A Residential Lease is a legally binding agreement between a landlord and tenant, outlining terms for renting a home, governed by India’s Indian Contract Act, 1872, Section 10 and Registration Act, 1908, Section 17. Leases exceeding 11 months require registration to ensure enforceability and avoid penalties (e.g., fines up to ₹1 lakh under Registration Act). It is ideal for securing stable tenancies and clear obligations.
