A Lease Deed (also called a Lease Agreement) is a legal contract between a landlord (lessor) and a tenant (lessee) for leasing a property for a fixed period and rent. It clearly defines the rights, duties, and obligations of both parties.
This agreement typically includes details like the rent amount, payment schedule, duration of the lease, security deposit, termination clauses, and maintenance responsibilities. Having a registered lease deed protects both landlord and tenant from future disputes.
As per the Registration Act, 1908, a lease deed for more than 11 months must be compulsorily registered with the sub-registrar’s office. An unregistered agreement may not be enforceable in case of disputes.
