first and second party in rent agreement

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 14 September 2025 This query is : Resolved
On a Rs. 100.00 stamp paper for a renewal of 11 months unregistered rent agreement for an existing tenant in a house , the owner is stated as the first party and the tenant as the second party . By mistake the tenant has signed in the space No : 1 ( meant for the owner ) at the bottom of the page and in the accompanying pages , and the owner is yet to sign in it . Can the numbers be corrected from 1 to 2 and vice versa by over writing or striking or by whitener ? Or a new doc to be prepared for the safety of the ternant ? Will it affect in getting change of address in the Pan , Aadhar etc at the new address for the tenant in the future ?

Quick Summary

A tenant mistakenly signed in the owner's designated space on an 11-month rent agreement renewal. The owner has not yet signed. The question is whether the signature positions can be corrected by striking out and initialling, or if a new agreement is necessary. It's advised that the parties can correct the error by striking out the incorrect entry and initialling, rather than using whitener. This should not pose a significant legal issue for the tenant's future address change applications.

It is a renewal of agreement hence you both can sign it again after striking out the erroneous entry/signature and both authenticating the striking of the erroneous entry.

Correct it from 1 to 2 vice versa by striking only with their initials, but not with a whitener.

It is not a legal problem for consideration and obligation of legal experts.
