RENT AGREEMENT

This rent agreement is made and executed at Amarnagar on 12 October 2026 by and between:

Vikram Singh son of Shri Harbans Singh, aged about 52 years, resident of House No. 45, Gulab Colony, Amarnagar, Tehsil and District Amarnagar, Punjab (hereinafter called the "OWNER", which expression shall, unless repugnant to the context, include his heirs, legal representatives and assigns) of the FIRST PART.

AND

Meera Sharma wife of Shri Kabir Sharma, aged about 41 years, resident of House No. 7, Basant Vihar, Amarnagar, Tehsil and District Amarnagar, Punjab (hereinafter called the "TENANT", which expression shall, unless repugnant to the context, include her heirs, legal representatives and assigns) of the SECOND PART.

NOW THIS DEED WITNESSETH AND THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE AS UNDER:

1.That the Owner has let out to the Tenant the ground floor of House No. 45, Gulab Colony, Amarnagar, with two rooms, a kitchen and a bathroom (the "premises") for 11 months, starting on 01-11-2026.

2.That the Tenant shall pay a monthly rent of ₹9,500 (Rupees Nine Thousand Five Hundred only) to the Owner on or before the 7 day of every month.

The rest of the paper is in Dastavo.

What to bring

Papers to bring

The owner's identity proof, and proof of ownership or of the right to let, such as the sale deed, the property-tax receipt or an electricity bill
The tenant's Aadhaar card or another photo identity proof, permanent address and two photographs (one is for the police verification form)
Proof of the security deposit paid, such as the bank transfer record, and the meter readings on the first day
Two witnesses, each with an identity proof

Where to go

Signed by the owner and the tenant, usually on e-Stamp paper, before two witnesses; many also have it attested by a Notary. An agreement for 11 months is usually not registered; a lease for a year or more must be registered at the Sub-Registrar's office.

Fee

The e-Stamp duty is worked out from the rent and the deposit under the state's schedule; the Notary's fee is paid at the counter. Ask there for today's amounts.

Good to know

Have the tenant verified by the police soon after moving in, at the police station, a Saanjh Kendra in Punjab or the state police's online service (see "Tenant or domestic-help verification letter"); keep the receipt.
Note the premises' condition and the meter readings on the first day, with photographs; it avoids arguments over the deposit later.
To continue after the term, sign a fresh agreement; a lease for a year or more must be registered: see "Registered lease (over 11 months)".

Papers and fees can change. Check with the office before you go. Guidance only, not yet reviewed by a lawyer.

Stamp paper

Deeds and agreements carry stamp duty that depends on the state, the document and its value; some must be registered with the Sub-Registrar. Check the current duty and registration rules before printing on stamp paper.
