Why House Rental agreements are only 11 months



Rental Agreements are only for 11 months

First and for most why we need to have a rental agreement, “A rental agreement is a legal document that binds the owner of the property and tenant and safeguards the interest of both the parties. The landlord must either be the owner of the property or a person having attorney from the owner,” It is important as it protects the rights of a landlord as well as the tenant. It prevents the unnecessary hikes and eviction without prior notice of minimum one month.” So rent agreement is compulsory for both tenant and land lord. Even tenant can use the rental agreement for tax purpose as well (till some extend). Rental agreements are very common in cities like Bangalore.

Why it’s meant for 11 months when it comes to House Rent Agreement?

If any agreement has to be made more than 11 months, those documents have to be register under the respective register office, and registration charge has to be paid. The secrete behind the 11 month rent agreement is, no one wants to bear the registration fee.

Here is the problem, when rent agreement was made for 11 months and it was not registered. The document may not be a valid proof /support if tenant or land lord wants to file a case in court. So it is better to register the rent agreement under mutual agreement.
