Rent & Lease Agreement in Ranchi
Put your tenancy in writing, clearly and correctly. We draft rent and lease agreements for homes, shops, offices and other premises and guide you on stamp duty and registration.
A clear agreement protects both landlord and tenant
A rent or lease agreement records the terms between a landlord and a tenant: the premises, rent, deposit, duration, notice, maintenance and what happens at the end. A written agreement avoids most disputes and is needed for address proof, bank accounts, GST and other registrations.
Under the Registration Act, 1908, a lease for more than one year (or from year to year) must be registered, which is why many agreements are made for 11 months. We draft the agreement, guide you on stamp duty, notarisation and registration, and keep it practical for homes and commercial premises.

Common questions
Why are many rent agreements made for 11 months?
Under the Registration Act, 1908, a lease for more than one year, or from year to year, must be registered. An 11-month agreement avoids compulsory registration, though it still needs correct stamping.
Is registration required?
For leases longer than one year, yes. For shorter terms, many parties do notarisation, and registration is still allowed for stronger evidence.
How much is the stamp duty?
It depends on the state rules, the rent and the term. We confirm the exact amount for your case before we proceed.
Can the same agreement be used for a shop or office?
Commercial agreements need extra clauses, such as use, lock-in, escalation and GST. We draft them for your case.
What if the rent is paid to a family member or the owner has died?
Tell us the situation. We advise on the right parties and documents, such as legal heir certificates or authority letters.
