Property Details
Why we ask

Why we ask
Cheque number used for deposit payment.
Example: 012345
Why we ask
The date on the deposit cheque handed over at signing — recorded in the deposit clause.
Example: 20 April 2026
Additional Terms
Why we ask
Neither party can exit during this period without penalty.
Example: 6 months
Why we ask
What the rent does on renewal — fixing it now avoids renegotiating from zero in month 11.
Example: 5% per year
Why we ask
Damages for staying past the term — a stated multiple beats litigating what is 'reasonable' later.
Example: 2× rent
Why we ask
Parking rights get their own clause — societies enforce exactly what is written.
Example: Both (2W + 4W)
Why we ask
Whatever you pick prints in the use clause — silence is where pet disputes come from.
Example: With owner approval
Why we ask
Adds a smoking rule to the use clause. Leave as-is to say nothing about smoking.
Example: Not permitted
Why we ask
The deadline for returning the deposit after handover — a deposit-recovery notice later counts from this promise.
Example: 30 days

Leaves the top of page 1 blank in the PDF so you can print directly on non-judicial stamp paper or e-stamp paper.
Most agreements are executed on stamp paper — keep this on unless printing on plain paper.
Why we ask
Goes into Annexure-I — documents readings at handover to prevent bill disputes.
Example: Electricity: 12450 kWh
Why we ask
Documents property condition at handover — critical evidence in deposit disputes.
Example: Property in good condition. Minor scuff on bedroom wall noted.
Witnesses
Why we ask
Witnesses must be adults not party to the agreement.
Example: Amit Verma
Why we ask
Helps trace the witness years later if the agreement is ever questioned.
Example: 12 Hill Road, Mumbai
