Document background
The Residential Lease Extension agreement is essential when parties wish to continue an existing residential tenancy beyond its original term in India. This document is typically used when both landlord and tenant are satisfied with their arrangement and wish to extend it, either on the same terms or with specific modifications. The agreement must comply with Indian legal requirements, including the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, relevant state Rent Control Acts, and registration requirements under the Registration Act, 1908. The document includes critical information such as the extension period, rent terms, maintenance responsibilities, and any updated conditions. A Residential Lease Extension is particularly important in Indian urban areas where long-term tenancies are common and both parties seek to maintain legal clarity while avoiding the complexity of creating entirely new lease agreements.
