1. Offcourse leave and license is anytime more favourable

2. Lease is a much greater right

3. You can make the agreement for 11 months or more. Or you can make 12m agreement with a renewal clause

4. It's always better you get the agreement duly registered. It protects you against any adverse claims being raised by the licensee against you and your property

5. Unfortunately I regret my inability to provide you with a sample agreement. It's always good that you have the agreement drafted by a competent lawyer. Dont compromise on that. See the value of your property and the expense you will incur towards lawyers fee for drafting a well worded and clear leave and license agreement. Bear in mind that drafting is not a copy paste job and requires quite a lot of thinking and deliberation on the lawyer's part to safeguard and protect his client legally. So it's not an unnecessary expense but rather an essential expense.

In my humble opinion in fast growing city like Bangalore it is better to give flat on rent on basis of leave and license agreement as it gives limited rights for limited period so there are less issues in eviction , rent revision.

further under lease period is more and it often gives more rights and for longer period so eviction is difficult.

Yes it donot necessarily need registration you can get it notarised and a police verification.

See every agreement has its own terms and condition so better get it drafted from an Advocate.

Hello,

You will have to contact some lawyer who can draft the same for you. It is advised that you enter into a 11 month lease agreement with the tenant.

The same is required to be notarized and not registered.

Firstly, both the agreements hold their own value.

Secondly, it depends upon the requirement of the person from the agreement.

Thirdly, it should be 11 months, otherwise needs to be registered as per law.

Fourthly, yes, I can give you the draft, but before that need to know the exact needs of you from the contract to make it more effective in your favour only.

Go ahead with a leave and license agreement.

If the term of this agreement is 11months of less, no need to get it registered.

We cannot share a draft here. Avail service of review a legal document through kaanoon.com.

For draft agreements of your choice, you may have to engage the services of an advocate.

Under license agreements, the legal ownership and the possession of the property remain with the licensor.

Under a lease agreement, the tenant generally has exclusive possession with respect to the property.

In other words, a license does not create any interest in the premises in favor of the licensee

In the case of a lease agreement, if the agreement is for a period of less than 12 months, it does not have to be registered. However, a lease agreement for 12 months and beyond has to be compulsorily registered. In many states, a license agreement does not have to be registered.

If you have to choose between a leave and licence and lease agreement then for the shopping complexes or commercial establishments, the leave and license may be a better option than the lease agreement.

The licence fee would be lesser than the rental amount.

1. Leave and license agreement is always preferable if the same is not considered to be a rent agreement .

2 In most states eave and license agreement is treated as rent agreement only and there is virtually no difference between the rent agreement and the leave and license agreement.

3. Sample agreements are not advisable. Rather get it drafted by an advocte.
