What is a Leave and License Agreement in Maharashtra?
In Maharashtra, tenancy arrangements are executed as a Leave and License Agreement governed by The Maharashtra Rent Control Act, 1999 and the Indian Easements Act, 1882. Unlike a lease, a license does not create an interest or tenancy right in the property, granting the licensee only temporary permissive occupancy.
Essential Clauses in the Government Format
1. Identification of Licensor & Licensee
Full names, permanent addresses, Aadhaar numbers, and PAN card details for both owner (licensor) and tenant (licensee).
2. Property Schedule & Demised Premises
Precise flat/house number, floor, building/CHS name, plot/survey number, CTS/Village name, carpet/built-up area, and parking rights.
3. License Period & Monthly Fee
Standard tenure (normally 11 to 36 months), exact monthly rent amount, payment due date (e.g., 5th of each English calendar month), and late penalty clause.
4. Interest-Free Refundable Security Deposit
Total deposit amount paid, mode of payment (Cheque/NEFT/RTGS transaction ref), and conditions for refund upon vacating the premises (less unpaid utility bills or physical damages).
5. Lock-in Period & Notice Period
Mandatory lock-in duration (e.g. 6 months) during which neither party can terminate without penalty, followed by standard 1-month written notice period.
6. Utility Charges, Society Maintenance & Permitted Use
Clear bifurcation of who pays electricity, piped gas, water charges, and society maintenance bills. Restriction to strictly residential purposes.
