The rental agreement or lease is processed on a stamp document. There are 2 types of rental in India, one is a lease that lasts at least 12 months. This is governed by the rent control laws adopted by the Land Government. The other type is a rental and license agreement with a maximum duration of 11 months, which is not covered by rent control laws. In India, the tenant also pays a deposit or advance to the lessor, which must be reimbursed at the time of termination of the contract. Normally, it is calculated somewhere between 2 or 3 months and up to 10 months of rent. The deposit is paid at the time of signing the contract. Part of the deposit can be used by the landlord for damage caused by the tenant to furniture, appliances, electrical appliances or the property itself. After deduction of the deposit for damages, the lessor must return the rest of the deposit to the tenant at the time of termination of the contract.
