This query is : Resolved
Can one enter in to leave & license agreement for 1/2/3/6 months for a room in a 2 BHK apartment or it has to be for the full apartment? What are the options ?

Sir,
May my query was not understood. I am talking about subletting a room from our 2 BHK apartment where my family stays. So it is not about locking of room but legality of letting out just a room of the flat on leave and license basis.

Leave & license agreement is normally for 11 months or more. It is optional to give 2bhk or 1bhk locking one room.

Subletting is one of the grounds for terminating the rental agreement.

Mr. Goyal & Mr. Patil,
Thanks for your time and opinion but we are the owners and not tenants.
We are staying in flat and want to rent out only the spare bed room with attached washroom with access to Kitchen and living room so where is the need to lock 1 room ?

If any tenant available, you can let.

Madam,
You can opt for a paying guest agreement, provided you do not give it to a family. Paying guest agreement to an individual will solve your problem.
Be careful about the terms of the agreement, it should not amount to renting.
Good Luck,

Mr. Mehta,
You are a gem of a person. I remember on earlier occasion also there was clarity in your advice and not just a vague reply other responses are missing missing on clarity. But then tell me if a couple can be given PG facility and if society can object to it. Pl. accept my thanks.

Madam,
Thank you.
It is advisable to keep sigles as paying guests, society should be requested for permission.
Good Luck,

But again a ? mark is raised. We are told that for PG there is no such agreement at the most an undertaking from the PG mentioning the terms of arrangement. So do we really need to enter in to an agreement ? If yes then does it needs to be registered ?
Thanks for your time and sharing the expertise for a social cause of this forum.

Madam,
Please get a draft of PG agreement prepared by an advocate on 100/- Rs. Stamp paper and get the same witnessed and notarised.
The period should be expressly specified as also the term that the agreement does not create a tenancy right in the premises, besides other terms.
Please get a permission from the society.
Good Luck,
Kishor Mehta
