In Andhra Pradesh, the rules and regulations for rent agreements are governed by a law called the Andhra Pradesh Buildings (Lease, Rent and Eviction) Control Act, 1960 (Act No. 15 of 1960). This law exists to make sure that both landlords and tenants are treated fairly and their rights are protected. It covers important things like how long a rental agreement can be, how much rent can be charged, and what procedures should be followed if a landlord needs to ask a tenant to leave. It’s important for both landlords and tenants to understand the key points of this law to ensure that they are following the rules and maintaining a good relationship.
Here are some of the key provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Buildings (Lease, Rent And Eviction) Control Act, 1960:
In Andhra Pradesh, stamp duty is applicable to rent agreements as per the Andhra Pradesh Stamp Act, 1899. The stamp duty amount varies depending on the rental value and the duration of the agreement. It is important to pay the stamp duty as per the prescribed rates to ensure the legality of the rent agreement.
In Andhra Pradesh, It is mandatory to register all rent agreements whether they are of less than an year or more than an year. Registering the rent agreement provides additional authenticity and acts as a valid proof of your address in banks, income tax and all other offices which need your address.
To make the process of paying stamp duty more convenient, eStamping facilities are available in Andhra Pradesh. You can use eSahayak to get an eStamped Rent Agreement by sitting at the comfort of your home. This digital stamp certificate holds the same legal validity as physical stamps, making it a convenient option for paying stamp duty.
In Andhra Pradesh, the stamp duty to be paid for a registered rent agreement is based on the duration of the lease as follows:
For example, if you lease a property for 10 years at a monthly rent of Rs. 10,000, the total rent payable in the lease would be Rs. 12,000,000 (10 years x 12 months x Rs. 10,000). The stamp duty payable would be 0.6% of Rs. 12,000,000, which is Rs. 72,000.
Yes, a digitally signed agreement is legally valid. In India, digital signatures hold the same legal weight as physical signatures, as per the Information Technology Act, 2000. Rest assured, with eSahayak’s secure and authenticated digital signatures, your rent agreement is legally binding and recognised in the eyes of the law.
The purpose of notary is to authenticate the signatures of landlord(s) and tenant(s) on your agreement. When you sign the agreement digitally using eSahayak then this authentication is done using your Aadhaar Number, so there is no need of Notarisation when you make your rent agreement on eSahayak.
If you are interested in learning more about e-signatures and their legal aspects, you can refer to section 3(1)(a) of the IT Act 2000.
Verify the authenticity of the property owner. Instances have occurred where individuals, posing as landlords, unlawfully collected rent. Always request relevant bills and documents to confirm the landlord’s identity.
The security deposit is a precautionary measure, usually equal to a few months’ rent, held by the landlord. This amount is refundable, with deductions for valid reasons, upon the tenant vacating the property. In Andhra Pradesh, the norm is to collect a security deposit equivalent to 2-3 months’ rent.
