FAQs
Typically, the tenant pays the stamp duty for a rent agreement, but this can vary based on mutual understanding between the landlord and tenant. In some cases, it’s split equally. The stamp duty amount depends on the rent, tenure, and local state laws—check your agreement or local regulations to confirm.
Yes, you can add special conditions (like pet policies, maintenance responsibilities, or subletting rules) to a rent agreement as long as both the landlord and tenant agree. These should be clearly written in the contract to avoid disputes later. Ensure they comply with local laws.
If the landlord sells the property during your tenancy, your rent agreement remains valid with the new owner, provided it’s registered or legally binding. The new owner must honor the existing terms until the agreement expires, unless you mutually agree to changes.
For agreements under 11 months, witnesses or notarization aren’t legally required but are recommended for authenticity—two witnesses signing is common practice. For agreements over 11 months, registration is mandatory in most states, and notarization alone isn’t enough. A notary can still add credibility for shorter terms.
To terminate a rent agreement early, check the termination clause—most agreements require a notice period (e.g., 1-2 months). If there’s no lock-in period, you can leave after giving notice and settling dues. During a lock-in period, you might need to negotiate with the landlord or pay a penalty as per the contract.
