A detailed residential rental agreement you can customize and download in minutes

A residential rental agreement is the contract an owner (landlord) and a tenant sign to formalize the renting of a home. This template is a comprehensive, registration-ready format; the kind used for flats, apartments and independent houses — covering rent, a separate maintenance charge, an interest-free refundable security deposit, and a full property inventory in an annexure.

Just answer a few simple questions — the owner's and tenant's details, the property address, the rent, maintenance and deposit, the tenancy dates, and the inventory — and your personalized rental agreement is generated instantly, ready to download as PDF or Word.

What this rental agreement includes

Clear identification of the Owner and Tenant (including parentage and permanent addresses, as commonly required for registration)
The tenancy term, the monthly rent (excluding electricity and water), and the rent due date
A separate monthly maintenance charge for generator, elevator, security, and common-area upkeep
An interest-free, refundable security deposit paid by cheque, with clear refund and adjustment rules
Utility responsibilities, repair obligations (minor repairs by the tenant, structural by the owner), and rules on alterations and subletting
The owner's right of inspection, quiet-possession protection, and who pays property tax and welfare-association dues
A termination-notice clause, a holdover-damages clause, a dispute-jurisdiction clause, and a registration / stamp-duty clause
Annexure-I — a room-by-room and fixture inventory (bedrooms, fans, lights, geysers, mirrors, etc.)
A two-witness execution block plus owner and tenant signatures

How to create your rental agreement

2. Answer the guided questions — the parties, the property, the rent, maintenance and deposit, the dates, and the inventory.

3. Generate the document — your details are merged into the agreement automatically.

4. Review and download as PDF or Word, then sign before witnesses (and register it, if required in your area).

Who is this rental agreement for?

Property owners letting a flat or house, tenants who want a thorough written contract, and agents preparing agreements for clients. Because it includes a maintenance charge and a detailed inventory, it's especially suited to apartments in managed buildings or gated communities. You set the dispute jurisdiction, so the same format adapts to your city.

For high-value lettings or where registration is mandatory, have the final agreement reviewed by a qualified lawyer before signing.
