The Long Term Tenancy Agreement is essential for establishing extended rental arrangements in India, typically used for periods exceeding 11 months. It serves both residential and commercial purposes, requiring mandatory registration under the Registration Act 1908 and appropriate stamp duty payment. The document addresses key aspects including rent determination, security deposits, maintenance responsibilities, and utility charges, while ensuring compliance with state-specific rent control regulations. It provides legal protection to both landlords and tenants by clearly defining rights, obligations, and remedies available under Indian law. The agreement is particularly important given India's growing real estate market and the need for documented, legally-enforceable long-term rental arrangements.
