This kit includes tools and guidelines to assist you in drafting a Leave And Licence Agreement.

A Leave and Licence Agreement, as defined in Section 52 of the Indian Easements Act, 1882, gives the licensee the right to use and occupy the Licensed Premises for a limited duration. A Leave and Licence Agreement does not give tenants any ownerships right of the property, nor does it provide the same non-eviction protections given in a Tenancy Agreement, rather the license to occupy can be terminated as per the terms of the agreement or otherwise and licensor can demand possession back from the licensee.

This kind of agreement is specific to the city of Mumbai where owner prefer to use this agreement rather than a standard Tenancy or Lease Agreement in order to save on the Stamp Duty and registration charges. A Leave & License agreement is usually for a period of 36 months.

Under Section 55 of the Maharashtra Rent Control Act, 1999, it is compulsory that all Leave and Licence agreements should be in writing and registered. The penalty for failure to register is imprisonment up to 3 months, or a fine up to Rs. 5000 or both.

Is This Form Right For You?

Use This Form If:

  • Individuals who are looking to rent a property in Mumbai may require a Leave and Licence Agreement to formalize their arrangement with the property owner. This agreement allows them to occupy the premises without acquiring ownership rights, making it a suitable option for short-term stays.
  • Situations requiring a temporary arrangement, such as corporate housing or expatriate accommodations, often benefit from a Leave and Licence Agreement. This type of agreement provides flexibility for both the licensor and licensee, allowing for a clear understanding of terms without the long-term commitment of a lease.
  • To comply with local regulations, landlords in Mumbai must use a Leave and Licence Agreement to avoid higher stamp duty and registration fees associated with traditional tenancy agreements. This can lead to significant cost savings for property owners while ensuring legal protection.
  • For those seeking to establish terms for shared living spaces, a Leave and Licence Agreement can outline the responsibilities and rights of each party. This is particularly useful in co-living arrangements where clarity on maintenance and usage is essential.
  • Real estate agents and property managers may utilize this agreement to facilitate transactions between landlords and tenants. By providing a standardized form, they can streamline the rental process and ensure compliance with local laws.

Do Not Use If:

  • – This form is not appropriate for long-term rental arrangements where a traditional tenancy agreement would be more suitable. Tenancy agreements provide greater security and rights for tenants, which are not available under a Leave and Licence Agreement.
  • – If the property owner intends to maintain strict control over the property and does not want to allow for temporary occupancy, a Leave and Licence Agreement may not be the best choice. In such cases, a lease agreement could offer more control.
  • – For individuals seeking to establish ownership rights or long-term residency, a Leave and Licence Agreement is not suitable as it does not confer any ownership rights to the licensee.
  • – In situations where the property is being rented for commercial purposes, a commercial lease agreement would be more appropriate than a Leave and Licence Agreement, which is typically used for residential properties.
  • – If the parties involved are not willing to comply with the legal requirements for registration and documentation, then this form should not be used, as it would not provide the necessary legal protections.
