Understanding the 11-month rental agreement's impact on your rent and tenant rights in India

businesstoday.in

Indian rental agreements are typically 11 months to avoid mandatory registration costs and tenant protections associated with longer leases.

The 11-month model offers flexibility but often results in recurring rent hikes, weaker legal protection, and uneven negotiation power for renters.
