May limit certain terms — such as arbitrary eviction or rent increases — irrespective of what the agreement says.

Governs stamp duty and registration requirements.
Consumer Protection Act, 2019
Protects tenants from unfair contract terms in rental agreements.
Client Success Stories
“The landlord's agreement gave them the right to increase rent by any amount with 30 days notice. LegalKonnect flagged this as contrary to the rental market norm. We negotiated a 10% annual cap.”

ChennaiFrequently 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.
Common issues include: unreasonably high deposit forfeiture provisions, unilateral rent increase rights without notice, landlord's right to evict without proper notice, maintenance obligations imposed entirely on the tenant including structural repairs, and absence of a clear deposit refund process.
No. Clauses that conflict with mandatory provisions of state Rent Control Acts are void — even if both parties signed them. For example, a state law that limits eviction grounds cannot be overridden by an agreement clause.
The clause should specify the exact timeframe for refund after vacation (typically 30–60 days), the process for deducting damage costs (inspection, documentation, notice), and consequences for delayed refund (interest or penalty).
The review itself does not change enforceability, but acting on the review recommendations — fixing problematic clauses and ensuring proper stamping and registration — significantly improves the agreement's enforceability and reduces dispute risk.
