Dear Mr Raghu

There is nothing unusual in the agreement. Most of the agreements now a days are on the above lines only.

A few points which need highlighting is that while it talks of damages to the property , it does not except the normal wear and tear. Secondly it does not give you right of premature termination of lease in any case. Normally it should be terminable by giving one or two months' notice.

Otherwise agreement is by and large alright, if any of the conditions are not which you have not bargained for.

I agree with Mr. Ashok.

Dear ragh
I agree with Sri Ashok and it is better to add some more points like
If lessor wants to vacate the lessee he should be given one or two months time to vacate the house.
And lessor agrees to pay the security deposit immediately after the lease period is over. Lesse has got right to be in the house till the security deposit is refunded.
In my opinion these are good conditions.
