Notarised vs. court rgeistered agreement

Our company gives its office space on lease. One tenant doesn't want to get the lease registered in court. he has to run a international pc tech support process. He is saying that lease is not for more than 9-10 months. he wants to do a simple rent agreement on a stamp paper of 100/- or more. he will pay the rent thru chq. We have a doubt if we give our office space on rent to this client. and if he does any anything illigal there. bcz we can't keep our eye on them that what r they doing over there. then what r the laibilites of us or should we give them on lease. the space is in gurgaon. pls advice. thanks

In Maharashtra, we have to give info. about the tenant to the nearest police station with the rent agreement. In your case, you can give copy of lease agreement to the police station for info. to the police.

STRICTLY MENTION IN THE LEASE AGREEMENT THAT HE WILL NOT DO ANY OTHER ACTIVITIES EXCEPT MENTIONED IN THE LEASE AGREEMENT. Also mention, If any conditions mentioned in the agreement, then the land holder has right to cancel the agreement.

There is no such lease registered in court , you have to go in registrar office to registered the lease agreement. In your case it is 9 months only then I think is sufficient to be Notarised.

The lease agreement for a period less than a year need not be registered. About the conditions and other liabilities, the same may be reduced to writing in the lease agreement and also providing other clauses for legal action for breach or violation of any condition thereon.
