Is a ₹99 rental agreement legally valid in Tamil Nadu?

Yes. Legal validity depends on proper stamp duty, signatures, and witness — not on how the document was drafted. Our agreements are formatted to Tamil Nadu legal standards and include all required clauses under the TN Tenancy Act 2017.

How much does a rental agreement cost in Tamil Nadu?

Agreements.co.in charges ₹99 for a professional rental agreement PDF. Stamp duty (Article 35, Tamil Nadu Stamp Act) and Rent Authority registration (₹100) are additional government charges that apply regardless of where you get the agreement drafted.

Do I need to register my rental agreement in Tamil Nadu?

Under the TN Tenancy Act 2017, all rental agreements must be registered with the Rent Authority (tenancy.tn.gov.in), regardless of duration. Sub-Registrar registration under the Registration Act 1908 is mandatory only for leases exceeding 11 months.

How long does it take to get the rental agreement?

The PDF is generated and emailed within minutes of payment. You can also download it immediately from the thank-you page.

Is this legally valid?

Yes, our rental agreements are fully legally valid under Indian law. The agreement is valid when: (1) printed on appropriately stamped paper, (2) signed by both the landlord and tenant, and (3) ideally witnessed by two independent witnesses. Under the Indian Contract Act 1872, a contract is valid when it contains offer, acceptance, consideration, and intent to create legal relations — all of which our agreement includes. Stamp duty must still be paid according to your state rules, and our platform keeps the agreement aligned with the practical rental requirements relevant to your state.

Can I share the agreement with the tenant before paying?

Yes. The preview page has a shareable link. Send it to your tenant or landlord so both parties can review the agreement before payment is made.

How many copies should I print?

Print two copies on appropriately stamped paper. Both the landlord and tenant sign both copies. Each party keeps one signed copy. If you have witnesses (recommended), they sign both copies too.

Do both parties need to be present to sign?

Both the landlord and the tenant need to sign the agreement, but they don't have to sign at the same time or in the same place. Print two copies, get the landlord's signature on both, then get the tenant's signature on both. Each keeps one copy.

What stamp paper should I use?

Buy stamp paper of the appropriate denomination from any licensed stamp vendor or government-approved shop (look for "stamp paper" near your Sub-Registrar's office or in any stationery store). The denomination should match the stamp duty amount shown in our calculator. Our PDF is formatted to print clearly on standard A4 stamp paper.

What happens if my payment fails?

If your payment fails or is cancelled, no agreement is created and no PDF is generated. You will not be charged. Simply go back and try again. If money was deducted but you did not receive your PDF within 10 minutes, contact us on WhatsApp immediately with your name and phone number — we will resolve it within the hour.

Yes. Your personal details (names, addresses, phone numbers) are stored securely in our database and used only to generate your agreement. We do not sell or share your data with third parties. You can request deletion of your data by contacting us.

Can I generate agreements for cities outside Chennai?

Yes. The platform supports all 31 Indian states and union territories. While our stamp paper delivery and Rent Authority registration services are currently available only in Chennai, the Instant Draft (PDF) service works for any location in India.

Can I modify the template?

The agreement is generated based on your inputs — there is no blank "fill in later" template. Every clause is populated with your actual details. If you need a specific non-standard clause added (e.g., parking terms, pet policy, lock-in period details), contact us on WhatsApp before paying — we can advise if it's already covered or help add it.

Is rental agreement registration mandatory in your state?

Registration requirements vary by state. In most states including your state, Sub-Registrar registration is required for leases exceeding 11 months. For shorter leases, registration is optional but recommended for legal protection. Our platform provides state-specific guidance.

What is stamp duty in your state?

Stamp duty in your state varies based on rent amount, lease duration, and property value. Our cost calculator above shows the approximate stamp duty for your specific situation. Rates differ between states — use the calculator for an estimate and verify with your local Sub-Registrar's office.

Can I edit the agreement after preview?

Yes, you can go back and edit any details before payment. The agreement will be regenerated with your changes.

Why should I pay stamp duty?

Stamp duty gives your agreement legal validity. Without proper stamp duty, the agreement cannot be presented as evidence in court under the Indian Stamp Act. It is a government charge, not our fee — we simply help you calculate the correct amount based on your state's rules.

How long does the process take?

Digital Agreement: PDF is generated and emailed within minutes of payment. Store Pickup: stamp paper is procured, the agreement is printed, and ready for pickup at your nearest partner shop in ~2 hours. Home Delivery: stamp paper is procured, the agreement is printed, and delivered to your door via Porter — within hours in Chennai.
