Latest Rent Agreement 2025 Reforms In India

The latest Rental reforms in 2025 are made to mainly focused in transparency, standardised clauses, security deposit, regulated rent hikes and evictions, and faster dispute resolution between Landlords and Tenants. Here, we have a clear and practical breakdown what Landlords and Tenants should consider while drafting or updating their Rent Agreement.

Digital Stamping & Online Registration

Agreements are being transformed into digital records: e Stamp and online registration prevents fraud, quick verification for HRA/KYC to make the agreement easy to trace.

Register the Rent Agreement on state/national portal within 2 months.
Digitally stamped documents are easy to verify if any dispute occurs.
Police verification of the Tenant is also treated as mandatory in many cities and should be completed along with the Rent Agreement.

Note: As per the Indian Registration Act, 1908 and the recent Rent Agreement rule 2025 Registration of a Rent Agreement is not mandatory in all cases and it depends on state-to-state rules. A notarized Rent Agreement is still acceptable and commonly used in many states for residential tenancies.

Security Deposit — Reasonable Caps

Latest Rent Agreement 2025 reforms promote reasonable deposit limit that reduce the burden from tenant and prevent excessive demands.

For Residential Rent Agreement, Landlord cannot take Security Deposit more than 2 months of rent, however, in Commercial Rent Agreement, Landlord can take Security Deposit for any number of months as mutually agreed.
Rent Agreement must clearly state the deposit amount, Admissible deduction, and timeline for refund.

What’s New : Previously, there was no cap in respect of Security deposit. Owners were free to ask any sort of security deposit however now as per new rule they have been restricted to ask the security deposit only for 2 months; setting tenants free from extra cost burden.

Rent Increase Rules & Notice

To avoid any dispute between both parties, Rent increment must follow the agreement terms. Frequency and formula for increment should be mutual agreed.

Commonly, Rent hikes are limited to once in 12 months. mentioned the exact formula in the Rent Agreement.
Require written notice period (commonly 30–90 days) for rent increment or termination.

What’s New : It is mandatory now for owners to serve a written notice in respect of rent hike so that the tenants can have enough time to decide that whether they wish to continue with hiked rent or would like to vacate the premises.

Entry, Maintenance & Eviction Procedures

The framework clarifies the rights, roles and responsibilities for entry, repair and lawful eviction to protect Landlord and Tenant.

Landlord visit generally required prior notice and reasonable timing.
If Tenant is continuously requesting for any necessary repair and Landlord is not getting it done for a long time, then Tenant can get the repair work done on his own and deduct that reasonable repair cost from the next month’s rent by keeping proper proof.
Eviction can not be done forcefully. It must follow due legal process.

What’s New : Previously, Tenants were dependent on their owners for the repairs however now tenants have liberty to get the repairs done at their own and to deduct the amount from the rent without taking any approval from the owner.

Dedicated Rent Authorities & Faster Disputes

Many states provides rent authorities or special forums to resolve disputes between both parties faster than regular courts.

Deposit amount refunds, forceful eviction claims and pending rent amount cases are usually handled faster.
Using these forum/authorities avoid long civil litigation.

What's New: Earlier, most of the Rent related disputes used to go to Civil Courts where it generally took a very long time to get the final decision. Under the new approach, such Rent matters are encouraged to be filed before fast-track or special Rent Courts/Authorities so that both Landlord and Tenant can get quicker resolution.
