Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from a rent agreement?

A leave and license creates no tenancy rights, is easily revocable, and Rent Control laws don't apply. The licensee is a permissive occupant, not a tenant.

Is registration mandatory?

In Maharashtra, online registration is mandatory. In other states, notarization is sufficient but registration is recommended.

Can the owner evict easily?

Yes, eviction is simpler as Rent Control Act protections don't apply. The licensor can revoke the license with notice.

What happens if licensee doesn't vacate?

The licensor can file for eviction. Since no tenancy is created, courts typically order quick vacation.
