Rajasthan Rent Control Act, 11-Month Lease Agreements & Mandatory Police Verification

Written by Krish Dayma • Published 2026-10-14 • Verified by PG Wallah Editorial Desk

"Complete legal guide on executing valid 11-month rental agreements in Rajasthan, stamp duty rates, tenant rights, security deposit refund clauses, and mandatory police verification."

The Legal Framework: Rajasthan Rent Control Act

Renting a residential flat, room, or commercial space in Rajasthan is governed by the Rajasthan Rent Control Act, 2001 (and subsequent amendments). A legally executed rent agreement establishes mutual obligations, specifies rent escalation terms, prevents unauthorized eviction, and safeguards the tenant's security deposit.

11-Month Lease Agreement vs. Registered Lease Deed

Under Section 17 of the Registration Act, 1908, any lease of immovable property for a term exceeding 11 months must be compulsorily registered with the local Sub-Registrar of Assurances. Because registration involves substantial stamp duty and court registration fees, the vast majority of residential tenancies in Rajasthan are executed as 11-Month Rental Agreements on non-judicial e-stamp paper (₹100 or ₹500 value) attested by a certified Notary Public.

Critical Clauses Every Rent Agreement Must Include

  1. Security Deposit & Refund Timelines: Specify the exact deposit amount (standard is 1 to 2 months' rent). Include a clause stating the deposit must be refunded within 7 to 15 days of tenancy termination.
  2. Monthly Rent Due Date & Grace Period: Define the payment cycle (e.g., between the 1st and 5th of each calendar month) and accepted modes (UPI, Bank Transfer, Cheque).
  3. Utility & Maintenance Charges: Clearly delineate who pays for electricity (sub-meter unit rate), municipal water charges, society maintenance, and common area lighting.
  4. Notice Period & Lock-in Period: Standard notice period in Rajasthan is 30 days for either party to terminate the tenancy without penalty.
  5. Inspection & Landlord Access: The landlord must provide prior reasonable notice (usually 24 hours) before inspecting the premises, respecting tenant privacy.

Mandatory Tenant Police Verification in Udaipur & Rajasthan

Under directives from the Rajasthan Police Department, landlord-tenant police verification is compulsory across all municipal corporation zones, including Udaipur, Jaipur, Jodhpur, and Kota. Failing to submit tenant verification can result in legal penalties under Section 188 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).

Landlords or tenants can submit verification online via the official Rajasthan Police Citizen Portal (RajCop) or offline by submitting physical forms with tenant Aadhaar Card copies to the local jurisdictional police station (e.g., Sukher, Hiran Magri, Bhupalpura, or Pratap Nagar police stations in Udaipur).
