Agreements.co.in builds the signed, stamp-ready rental agreement; tenancy.tn.gov.in is the official Rent Authority registry where that agreement is recorded.
We don’t compete with the government. We prepare you for it — the same way ClearTax prepares your return before you file on the Income Tax portal.
Full agreement preview before payment. No charge to review.
The simple split
Step 1 — Create & sign
Agreements.co.in
Draft, calculate stamp duty, lock TNRRLTA protections, get PDF / stamp paper / Chennai pickup or delivery.
Step 2 — Register
tenancy.tn.gov.in
Official TN Rent Authority registration of your already-executed agreement.
The portal is the destination. We are the preparation.
Most people don’t choose “government vs us.” They choose between a half-day of typist + stamp chaos, a Word file from a broker, or a registration-ready document they can check first.
Owner of the relationship and the signatures.
You still do
Hard alone: Article 35 duty, mandatory TNRRLTA clauses, clean PDF both parties keep.
Types a page. Fast, local, familiar.
Usually includes
Usually missing
Fine for a plain page. Weak when a deposit dispute needs the agreement to hold up.
Create the registration-ready instrument.
Like ClearTax for rental prep — not the government, and not a replacement for it.
tenancy.tn.gov.in
Official registry under TNRRLTA 2017.
Out of scope
The government portal is the authority. We never claim to be it.
Skipping a proper agreement doesn’t make registration free of friction. It shifts cost into time, rework, and dispute risk.
| Path | Typical time | What you pay | Main risk |
|---|---|---|---|
| Portal only / incomplete paper | Hours finding a usable draft + stamp path | Stamp duty + RA fee still due | Weak or wrong document → hard to enforce; deposit fights |
| Typist / broker Word file | Half day + corrections | ₹200–₹2,000+ plus stamp | Opaque clauses; both parties argue “what did we sign?” |
| National generic sites | 20–40 min + wait on delivery | Often ₹349–₹2,000+; duty surprise at cart | Weak TN depth; tracking complaints common |
| Agreements.co.in | ~10 minutes form + free preview | From ₹49 digital; stamp duty shown before pay | You only pay after you’ve seen the document |
Stamp duty (Article 35: ~1% of aggregate rent + deposit) and Rent Authority fees are government costs either way. Our fee is for preparation, clarity, and delivery — not a government charge.
If the only question is “why pay anything?”, the better question is: what does a wrong deposit clause cost when someone moves out?
Before you ever open tenancy.tn.gov.in, you should already hold a complete, signed instrument.
Paying us does not finish registration. That is intentional — and correct.
Fill the form → preview free → pay only if correct → download PDF and/or get stamp-paper print in Chennai → both parties sign.
Take the signed agreement through tenancy.tn.gov.in / Rent Authority process so the tenancy is officially on record.
Create → Sign → Register. Skip the middle chaos, not the government.
Built for Tamil Nadu rentals — not generic India templates
Preview the full draft with TN-oriented clauses and stamp duty shown upfront. Then register on tenancy.tn.gov.in when you’re ready.
No payment to view preview · Not a government website · Complements tenancy.tn.gov.in
No. We don’t replace the government portal. Agreements.co.in is where you create a complete rental agreement (preview, stamp duty, PDF or optional print). tenancy.tn.gov.in is where you register that signed agreement with the TN Rent Authority. Like ClearTax (prep) vs the Income Tax portal (filing) — different jobs, same journey.
Registration is only half the journey. You still need a proper written agreement, correct stamp duty, and clauses that hold up if deposit or eviction becomes a fight. Our fee is for that preparation and clarity. Government stamp duty and Rent Authority fees are separate and due either way.
Yes — that’s the intended path. Create and sign with us, then register on the official portal. We are complementary.
Yes in Tamil Nadu. Under TNRRLTA 2017, registration with the Rent Authority applies regardless of duration. Eleven months mainly affects Sub-Registrar practice, not the Rent Authority duty. See our registration guide for the step-by-step process.
Not as a free default. We prepare a registration-ready agreement and guide the process. Any managed filing, if offered later as a paid tier, will be labeled clearly — never confused with the government itself.
Start with free preview. Digital agreement options start at ₹49. Upgrade to stamp paper, pickup, or delivery only if you need physical.
