The documents a property deal actually runs on
8 complete formats in plain English, with every clause explained. Fill one in on screen, copy it, download it or print it, then take it to your lawyer.
Rent agreement format (eleven months)
A complete residential rent agreement for an eleven-month term, with every clause a landlord and tenant usually argue about written out in plain English.
Leave and licence agreement (Maharashtra)
The form used to let a home in Maharashtra. It grants a licence to occupy rather than a tenancy, and it must be registered whatever its term.
Commercial lease agreement
A lease for an office, shop or clinic covering the clauses that decide what a commercial tenancy really costs: lock-in, escalation, CAM, fit-out, signage and restoration.
Rent receipt format
One receipt per month that records who paid whom, for which home, for which period, how much and how. Employers use it for HRA claims.
Agreement to sell (resale property)
The agreement that fixes the price, the payment schedule and the date for the sale deed on a resale property. It does not transfer ownership; the registered sale deed does.
Token / booking amount receipt
A one-page receipt for the token paid to hold a property, which also records what happens to the token if the deal does not go ahead.
Society NOC request letter
The letter a selling member sends to the housing society asking for a no-objection certificate and a no-dues certificate, with the wording the reply should contain.
Possession letter
The developer's letter handing over a flat, with the occupancy certificate quoted, the payments confirmed, the snag list attached and your defect rights left intact.
Use these as a starting point, not as advice
Property law is largely state law: stamp duty, registration and tenancy rules differ from state to state. Each format says what it assumes, and the leave and licence format is written for Maharashtra. For a specific property, have a lawyer read the actual deeds before you sign anything.
