The standard tenancy document in Maharashtra
Leave & License Agreement in Mumbai
In Maharashtra, most residential and commercial tenancies use a leave and license agreement rather than a traditional lease — it gives landlords simpler eviction rights and is what people usually mean by "rent agreement." We draft and register it for you, typically for an 11-month term.

Why this format, not a lease
Leave & license vs. a traditional lease.
Maharashtra tenancy law treats leave and license agreements very differently from leases, which is why almost every landlord in the state uses this format.
- Creates a transferable interest in the property for the tenant.
- Far harder and slower for the owner to reclaim possession.
- Falls under stricter rent control protections for long-term tenants.
- Rarely used for residential rentals in Maharashtra today.
- Grants only a personal right to occupy — no transferable interest.
- Owner can reclaim possession more easily once the term ends.
- Usually drafted for an 11-month term, renewable by mutual consent.
- The standard, expected format for landlords and tenants in Maharashtra.

Leave & license, explained
Your questions about leave & license agreements.

Call UsWhy are agreements usually for 11 months, not 12?
An agreement of 12 months or more must be compulsorily registered under the Registration Act and can trigger stronger tenancy protections for the licensee. Sticking to 11 months keeps the arrangement simpler, and it's still commonly registered voluntarily for legal safety.
Is a leave and license agreement the same as a rent agreement?
Yes — "rent agreement" is just the everyday term people use. The legal document itself is a leave and license agreement under Maharashtra law.
Can it be renewed after 11 months?
Yes, by mutual consent. See our Rent Agreement Renewal page — we prepare the renewal draft and handle re-stamping and re-registration.
Does a leave and license agreement need registration?
Registration is legally required for the agreement to be fully enforceable and to carry strong evidentiary weight; we handle registration as part of our Standard and Premium plans.
