Document background
A Registered Lease Deed is the primary legal instrument used in India for documenting and formalizing property rental arrangements. This document becomes mandatory when the lease term exceeds one year, as per the Registration Act, 1908. It serves as conclusive proof of the lease agreement between parties and is admissible as evidence in courts. The deed must be executed on appropriate stamp paper, registered with the Sub-Registrar's office, and comply with various state-specific requirements. It typically includes detailed provisions about the property, parties involved, rental terms, maintenance obligations, and other essential conditions. The registration process provides legal security to both parties and helps prevent potential property disputes.
