These are the few things which should be know before Renting the Property-

  • Check the Details of the Owner who is claiming as a Owner of the Property. Ask for the Ownership Proof and preserve one Photocopy for the same.
  • Ask for NOC for Mobile, Gas Connection.
  • Tenant Verification at the Local Police Station also needs to be done by the Landlord and it is mandatory as well.
  • Discuss all the Term and Conditions carefully with the Owner before entering into an Agreement.
  • In Case if any token money paid then ask for the Receipt from Landlord for the same.
  • Mention the Name of all the Mature Tenants while drafting the Rent Agreement, so that the Terms and Conditions of Rent Agreement will be applicable on all the Tenants.
  • Security Deposit amount in Delhi is to collect of 1-3 months of the rent and this will be refunded by the Owner at the time of vacating the premises.

Later, Rakesh got to know that the Condition of House is not so good actually. So, he decided to leave the house and informĀ the same to the Owner. But Owner deny his decision by saying that Rakesh has to provide two months Notice in Written OR has to provide Rent for 4 months in order to have a permit to leaveĀ the house.

DoĀ you know why this happened?

Because in Rent Agreement that the Rakesh signed contain the Clause of – Lock in PeriodĀ 

What is Lock in Period?

Locking period prescribes the time period within which any of the parties cannot terminate the contract before the sending of the lock in period, if the party do so then he has to pay the rent for the remaining lock in period.


So, there is a clause called Lock in Period which was involved in their agreement that if the Tenant wish to terminate the Agreement then he has to provide the Notice in Written of Two Months OR Rent for 4 months.[/vc_toggle][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_toggle title=”I have purchased the Stamp paper from Bangalore for some Affidavit purpose and would like to submit it in Delhi.
