RENT AGREEMENT FORMAT

What is the Rental Agreement?

Renting properties is old practice within our society that continued for long laws and rules governing the Landlord-Tenant relationship introduced by the government from time to time. Bad experiences of either of the parties along with long-pending legal disputes resulted in the realization that further laws by our legislative body are required to supervise the Tenancy and to guide Courts in case of legal disputes over an equivalent. Here we are providing details regarding rental agreement and also provide a rental agreement format.

The Rental Agreement may be a legally enforceable agreement between a Landlord and a Tenant for his or her relationship in respect of rented place, whereunder they are stating the rental agreement terms and conditions/ Rent agreement clauses of the tenancy and Information of the parties and premises.

Always go for Written Rental Agreement Format

Written Rental Agreements format have been always advised by the legal expert as it gives uniformity and define the terms of a relationship. Even though a rental agreement format is preferred by the citizens to avoid the hassle, there may be circumstances where one may opt to include some additional clauses to add to rental agreement which are suitable to the licensed premises or individuals.

Meaning of Licensor?
A Licensor could also be an individual by whom or on whose behalf the rent of particular premises is payable.

Who may be a Licensor/ Landlord?
In owner and tenant agreement, a person, a person who is owner of the rental premises and is entitled to receive, the rental amount of particular rented premises is the Licensor/ Landlord.

Lock-in-period –

Sometimes it is a difficult task to search for the tenant for the premises and sometimes we need to take help of local agents/broker to get a tenant for the premises and have to pay 1-month rent as brokerage but what will happen after don above if the Tenant vacates the premises within 1 or 2 months. In such a situation, the owner of the premises will be in loss and have to suffer losses. Here lock-in-period clause comes for help. If lock-in period of 1 year is kept then the licensor could not push licensee to vacate the premises for next 1 year and even license could not leave the premises before 1 year.

If the licensor wants to vacate the premises then he need to compensate Licensee by paying the remaining lock-in period Rent and if Licensee wants to leave the Licensed premises then Licensee need to compensate Licensor by paying the remaining lock-in period Rent.
