Legal Framework
Leave and Licence is a legally distinct arrangement from a tenancy — providing property owners with significantly better control over possession.
Maharashtra Rent Control Act, 1999
Specifically recognises Leave and Licence agreements and mandates their registration. Unregistered agreements do not have the protection of the Act.
Transfer of Property Act, 1882
Distinguishes between a lease (creates property interest) and a licence (does not) — this distinction is fundamental.
Specific Relief Act, 1963
Governs recovery of possession by the licensor on termination of the licence.

Government stamp duty charges apply to registered documents and vary by state. These are paid directly to the government and are not part of our service fee. Your advocate will confirm the applicable amount for your state before any document is executed.
A Rent Agreement under the Transfer of Property Act creates a lease — the tenant gets a legal interest in the property and significantly more protection under Rent Control laws. A Leave and Licence creates no property interest, making it easier and faster for the licensor to recover possession.
Yes. Under the Maharashtra Rent Control Act, all Leave and Licence Agreements must be compulsorily registered. An unregistered agreement does not get the benefit of the Act's provisions.
No — provided the agreement uses proper non-tenancy language and is enforced correctly. Courts look at the substance of the arrangement, so the agreement must truly reflect a licence and not an attempt to disguise a tenancy.
Since no tenancy rights exist, the licensor can approach the appropriate authority or court for summary eviction under the Leave and Licence framework — which is generally faster than eviction under a tenancy arrangement.
