What is Online Leave & License Agreement or Online Rental Agreement?
Leave and license agreement, defined in section 52 of Indian Easements act,1882, introduced by Maharashtra government, is a formal contract between the licensor and a licensee that defines the scope and length of the license and other terms and conditions of license. It is a permissive right granted to a person to use the property in a certain way while the property remains in the possession and ownership of the owner of the property. The license is usually signed for eleven months and can further be renewed. The agreement should list all key issues and the consequences for violating those issues. Any action taken which is against the license is considered as unlawful.
In Maharashtra, the residential and commercial real estate rentals are majorly executed under Leave and License agreement. Thus, the registration of the agreement is important which can further serve as a proof in Court in case of any clash between the parties. However, in the absence of such agreement, the validity and enforceability of the agreement will not be considered.
