The rent agreement or rental agreement is the name of this contract. Note that verbal contracts between a landlord and a renter are not enforceable in court. Additionally, if the rent agreement is not signed and properly recorded, neither the tenant nor the landlord will be able to seek redress from any legal authority in the event of any subsequent issues between the two parties. States could establish rent authority in cities, where landlords and tenants would be required to enter into a rent agreement, under the newly approved Model Tenancy Act 2019 registerd.

Why is a Rent Agreement necessary?

It is important to have a rent agreement in place to take care of any disputes that may arise between landlord and tenant, due to varied reasons like:

  • Tenant subletting the Property
  • Landlord increasing rent without prior notice
  • Tenant setting up business in the house premises
  • Landlord denying returning the security deposit
  • Tenant damaging the property

Apart from a few of the aforementioned suggestions, there are numerous other disagreements that could occur while tenants are residing in the property. A formal rental agreement that has been approved by the government must be in place in order to handle all such conflicts in advance.
