At erentagreement.com, we aim to make the entire process of creating and registering rent agreements as simple, transparent, and legally compliant as possible. Below are the most commonly asked questions from users — with clear answers to help you understand how it works.

❓ 1. What documents are required to create a rent agreement?

For owners, both PAN and Aadhaar are required. Tenants and witnesses must provide Aadhaar only. For the rented property, proof like Index II or electricity bill is needed. If an authorised representative (like a Power of Attorney holder) is acting, the relevant document must be shared.

❓ 2. Do I need to provide physical copies of documents?

No. You can submit documents digitally via WhatsApp or email. There’s no requirement to send hard copies for the drafting process.

❓ 3. How many witnesses are needed?

Two witnesses are required, and they must have valid Aadhaar cards. If you cannot arrange both, erentagreement.com can assist with one witness (subject to availability).

❓ 4. Can I change the rent agreement after it’s drafted?

Yes. Minor adjustments can be made before final submission, but major changes may require re-registration. Always review the draft thoroughly before biometric verification.

❓ 5. Is biometric verification mandatory?

Yes — biometric verification for all parties (owner, tenant, witnesses) is required as per Government regulations for registered agreements.

❓ 6. What if the landlord or tenant can’t be present?

If one party is unavailable, you can proceed with a Power of Attorney holder, or erentagreement.com can help arrange biometric verification nearby, depending on location. For foreign residents, remote verification options using biometric devices are available.

❓ 7. How much does a rent agreement cost?

Charges depend on rent amount, deposit, and duration. Government stamp duty and registration charges are calculated based on these factors, while service fees remain standard. You can use the website’s fee calculator to estimate your cost.

❓ 8. How long will it take to receive the rent agreement?

Once biometric verification is completed, official processing usually takes 3–4 working days. However, actual turnaround depends on government office workload.

❓ 9. What if there’s a delay in receiving my agreement?

Delays are due to sub-registrar workload and technical issues outside our control. Though refunds aren’t provided for delay, erentagreement.com will follow up with the department if necessary.

❓ 10. What is the refund policy?

• Before government fee payment & biometric verification: Full refund possible.
• After biometric verification: Refund isn’t available, but you’ll receive documentation to complete registration later.
• After paying government fee but before submission: Service fee refund is possible; government fee must be refunded separately at the registrar office.

❓ 11. Can I extend or renew my rent agreement?

Yes — renewal or extension is treated like a fresh agreement and can be processed through the same online workflow.

❓ 12. Are online rent agreements valid?

Absolutely. Agreements processed through erentagreement.com follow all government-mandated procedures, including biometric verification, making them legally enforceable.

❓ 13. Do you provide services for commercial properties too?

Yes — services cover both residential and commercial rent agreements, including shops, offices, and warehouses. Corporate entities like companies and LLPs can also use the service with proper authorisation documents.

❓ 14. Who keeps the original rent agreement?

The landlord usually retains the original, and the tenant should keep a copy for personal records, however currently only digital copy generated hence there is no original copy as such.
