Ways to register a rent agreement

You can register your rent agreement in 3 easy ways, depending on what you find convenient. Take a look at what they are below.

  • Through online registration

    To streamline this process, most states allow you to register your rent agreement online. If you’re in Maharashtra, for example, visit the website of the Department of Registration and Stamps, Government of Maharashtra. First register yourself as a user and then draft your agreement, enter owner and tenant’s details, upload the necessary documents and submit it for registration. However, to do this, you must have a biometrics scanner, and all parties, including witnesses, must have Aadhaar cards. You will be notified of the completion of the process by SMS. The only thing to remember is that you have to pay stamp duty and registration charges by logging on here.

  • Through your broker

    If you wish to register the agreement in person, you can go through your broker, if you have one. He/ she will make an appointment at your sub-registrar’s office and prepare a standard rent agreement. You and your landlord can make amendments to this, if you wish to. The good part about registering through a broker is that you will have assistance every step of the way, especially with regards to the documents required and the fees that you have to pay. That said, you have to pay the broker a fee in exchange for these services.

  • Through a rental deposit loan

    Another option is to register your rent agreement on Rental Deposit Loan. Bajaj Finance offers homeowners and tenants a personal loan that you can use to pay your rental deposit. Landlords can use it to upgrade furnishings, pay for repairs and spruce up their home using this sum to earn higher rental income. On the other hand, tenants can use it to finance the expenses associated with shifting into a rental home, from security deposit and brokerage to movers’ charges.
