Hello,

Idea period for which a premises should be given on rent is 11 months and after that it should be renewed for another 11 months. In that case it is not mandatory to get it registered. However, if the term of rent agreement exceeds one year then it has to be registered.

1. Any leave and license agreement is required to be mandatorily registered. Nothing stops you from inducting a tenant for more than 3 years.

2. Police verification is mandatory.

1. Rental agreement for 12 months need not be mandatorily registered.

2. You can renew the agreement once in 11 months i..e., after completion of every eleven months tenure.

3. Police verification is for your safety.

The online facilities may be availed if they are found to be genuine.

Can i continue with the same tenant for more than 3 yrs?What is the ideal period in case I decide to,rent it out to the same person.

You can keep renewing the rental agreement year after year but make sure there is no lapse or laziness in follow up especially since you are residing in a far off place.
