Residential and Commercial Leases
Whether you are renting out a house, leasing a shop, or taking commercial premises for your business, the lease agreement is what governs the relationship, and what you rely on if a dispute arises over rent, the security deposit, maintenance, or vacating the premises. A properly drafted lease protects both landlord and tenant by making the terms clear and enforceable.
We draft and register residential and commercial leases under the Transfer of Property Act and the Registration Act, tailored to the specific property and the needs of both sides.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to register a rental agreement in Tirupati?
Whether registration is required depends on the lease term. Leases for longer periods generally require registration under the Registration Act, while short-term arrangements are often executed on stamp paper. We advise on the correct approach and handle registration where needed.
What should a rent agreement include?
At minimum: the names of the parties, the property, the rent and deposit, the term and renewal, the notice period, maintenance responsibility, and terms for vacating. A well-drafted agreement also addresses rent revision, sub-letting, and default.
What is the difference between a lease and a leave-and-licence?
A lease transfers an interest in the property and gives the tenant possession; a leave-and-licence merely permits use without transferring an interest. The distinction affects rights on possession and eviction, so the correct instrument matters.
How much security deposit can a landlord take?
Deposit amounts are usually a matter of agreement between the parties and local practice. What matters most is that the agreement clearly records the deposit and the conditions for its refund, to avoid disputes when the tenant vacates.
Can you draft a commercial lease for my shop or office?
Yes. We draft commercial leases for shops, offices, and business premises with terms suited to commercial use, including lock-in period, renewal, rent escalation, and permitted use.
