A rental checklist that is not a legal form

Dated 14 October 2026. Brokers search for a Tamil Nadu rental format and receive a random Word file. Do not download identity documents into a template from a blog. Use this as a list of questions. The actual clauses belong to the parties and, where the state requires it, to a proper stamp.

Ask before you share the flat

• Names as on the ID the owner is willing to show you. Do not invent a spelling.
• Address, furnishing, and what is included.
• Start date, and whether the owner asked for 11 months or another term. Record their reason. Do not promise that 11 months skips registration.
• Rent, due date, and mode.
• Deposit, and the conditions they stated for returning it.
• Who pays maintenance, electricity, and water.
• Notice period, and who pays for painting.
• Whether that state’s registration or stamp rule applies. You look it up. You do not guess.
