About the Rental Agreement Generator
A rental agreement is a contract between a landlord and a tenant that sets out the rent, the security deposit, the term and the rules for occupying a residential property. A clear agreement protects both sides by recording what each has agreed, from the monthly rent and due date to maintenance, notice period and renewal.

Key clauses in a rental agreement
- Monthly rent, due date and mode of payment
- Refundable security deposit and the terms for its return
- Term of the tenancy and the annual increment on renewal
- Use of the premises, maintenance and utility charges
- Restrictions on alterations and subletting, plus notice and governing law
Stamping and registration
Rental agreements for a term of 11 months are common because, in many states, a residential tenancy of under twelve months requires only stamping and not compulsory registration. Where the term, including any renewal, is twelve months or longer, registration is generally required, along with stamping on stamp paper of the value prescribed by your state. The stamp value and the registration threshold vary by state, so check the rules applicable in your state before the agreement is signed.

Stamping is generally required for all rental agreements. Registration is usually compulsory only where the term, including any renewal, is twelve months or longer, though the rule varies by state.

The rent is fixed for the term of the agreement. The agreement provides for an annual increment, expressed as a percentage, that applies on renewal or after each twelve months. Any other change in rent needs the written consent of both parties.
