Looking for services related to Online Rent Agreements in India?

Before understanding how an online rent agreement in India works, let us know what a rent agreement is. It is a mutual agreement between a tenant and a landlord. It is a legal document that acts as proof in case of any disputes in the future. Earlier, in India, every activity related to rent agreements was done offline. Stamping, documentation, signatures, everything was offline. But, what if the owner is not present in India? Can we make a verbal agreement? How to take signatures? How to complete the documentation work? How do we verify the documents? All these issues came up and that is where the role of Housewise started.

Let us handle your Rent Agreements

No more paperwork stress or legal worries—get your rent agreement drafted, verified, and delivered hassle-free.

Housewise has launched a service of online rent agreements in India. With this facility, Housewise provides all the services in digital mode. Instead of physical stamping, we have introduced e-stamping. Also, Housewise has come up with a digital signature service. Besides this, we prepare digital rent agreements and deliver them online. You don’t even need to step out of your house to complete the digital rent agreement formalities! With Housewise’s online rent agreement service, you can complete the process easily and in very less time.

How it Works?

Step 01

The owner or tenant contacts Housewise by uploading the final draft of the agreement or sending an email to sales@housewise.in with the final draft agreement. If you don’t have a draft, you can download a template from “here” and create your own draft. Only 11 months or less are allowed in the online rent agreement.

Step 02

If you are not able to create the draft, contact us via our website, email, call/WhatsApp and send us the following details –
a) Name of owner
b) Name of Tenant
c) Address of owner
d) Address of tenant
e) Address of property
f) Monthly Rent
g) Refundable security deposit
h) Agreement start date and duration
i) Owner’s witness details
j) Tenant’s witness details

Step 03

Housewise confirms the receipt of all details and readiness to start the online rent agreement.

Step 04

The owner then makes the payment of the fees online.

Step 05

Housewise prepares the rent agreement on e-Stamp paper and sends the rent agreement to the owner, tenant, and witness for an online signature.

Step 06

Property Owner, tenant, witnesses e-sign via the process explained in an email.

Step 07

Once the online rent agreement is e-signed by all parties, the e-signed agreement as well as the certificate of signing with complete blockchain is shared with both the owner and the tenant.
