Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between leave and license and rent agreement?

Leave and license creates no tenancy rights - the occupant is a licensee, not a tenant. It's easier to terminate and recover possession compared to a tenancy.

Is registration mandatory?

In Maharashtra, registration is mandatory for leave and license agreements under the Maharashtra Rent Control Act. Other states may have different requirements.

Can the licensor evict the licensee easily?

Yes, since no tenancy is created, eviction is relatively easier. The licensor can terminate with notice as per the agreement terms.

What is the typical license period?

Usually 11 months to avoid complications. Can be renewed by executing a fresh agreement.
