Frequently Asked Questions

Is rent agreement registration mandatory in Maharashtra?
Yes. Unlike most states, every Leave & License agreement in Maharashtra must be registered, regardless of duration, under the Maharashtra Rent Control Act, 1999. Registration can be completed online or at the Sub-Registrar office.
Why is it called Leave & License and not a lease in Maharashtra?
Maharashtra uses the Leave & License format, which grants permission to occupy a property without transferring tenancy rights to the licensee. It is the standard, court-tested format in the state and protects landlords from rent-control tenancy claims.
Do I need tenant police verification in Maharashtra?
Yes — tenant police verification is required, typically within 15 days of moving in, and many housing societies also ask for an NOC. RentDraft includes the police verification and society NOC clauses for Maharashtra agreements.
