BengaluruFrequently Asked Questions
Stamp Duty Not Included
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.
Yes. Most rent agreements in India are drafted for 11 months to avoid the mandatory registration requirement that applies to leases of 12 months or more under the Registration Act. An 11-month agreement can be renewed repeatedly.
Stamp duty is typically paid by the tenant in practice, though legally it can be shared. Stamp duty rates vary by state and are calculated based on rent amount and tenure.
Not without the tenant's consent unless a rent escalation clause is included in the agreement specifying the increase percentage and timing. Arbitrary rent hikes during the agreement period are not enforceable.
The landlord must give proper notice as per the agreement and applicable law. If the tenant refuses to vacate, the landlord must file an eviction suit — self-help remedies like changing locks are illegal.
