Frequently Asked Questions
Is an online, digitally signed rent agreement legally valid?
+
Electronic signatures are recognised under the Information Technology Act, 2000, so a rent agreement signed through a compliant platform like Zoho Sign is generally treated as legally valid, subject to usual contract law requirements.
Why are many rent agreements made for 11 months?
+
Landlords and tenants often prefer 11‑month agreements to stay outside compulsory registration provisions that typically apply to longer leases, though the exact position depends on state registration rules and tenancy law.
Do I need to register my online rent agreement?
+
Leases of 12 months or more usually require registration with the sub‑registrar, while shorter leave‑and‑licence style agreements may not; however, registration gives stronger evidentiary value if a dispute arises.
How does Zoho Sign manage signatures for all parties?
+
Each lessor and lessee is added to a signing workflow; Zoho Sign sends them secure links to review and sign, and once every party completes the process, a final signed PDF is shared with everyone.
What information should I keep ready before starting?
+
Keep ID and address proof of all parties, full property address, rent amount, security deposit, lock‑in period, notice period, and maintenance responsibilities so that the agreement can be drafted accurately.
Can clauses like lock‑in, escalation and notice period be customised?
+
Yes, standard clauses on lock‑in, rent escalation, notice period and use of the premises can be adapted to your arrangement, provided they stay within the framework of local tenancy and contract law.
