Let us first understand the rent agreement. A rent agreement is a legal document between the two parties- the owner and the tenant. It defines all the terms and conditions that the tenant must follow. This serves as legal proof in case any dispute arises during the validity of the document.
The registered rent agreement process involves submitting the KYC documents of both parties. Both parties also submit the property proof to the registrar’s office. But, to avoid the time-consuming process, the Government of Maharashtra came up with the introduction of an online registered rent agreement. In this, the whole process is at the convenience of your home. The data entry, biometric verification, everything is done without stepping out of the door.
