What is Rent Agreement? — Meaning, Definition & Example
Definition
A rent agreement is a legal contract between landlord and tenant specifying rent amount, tenure, deposit, maintenance, and terms. In India, agreements up to 11 months don't require mandatory registration. Registered lease deeds for 12+ months provide stronger legal protection.
A standard 11-month rent agreement for a 2BHK in Bangalore with ₹25,000 rent typically requires a security deposit of ₹2.5-5 lakh (10-20 months rent).
