(B) The Tenant has approached the Landlord to take the Premises on rent for use as a residence, and the Landlord has agreed to let the Premises to the Tenant, on the terms and conditions set out below.

NOW THIS AGREEMENT WITNESSETH AND THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS:

1. DEFINITIONS AND INTERPRETATION

1.1  In this Agreement, unless the context requires otherwise: "Rent" means the monthly rent stated in clause 3; "Security Deposit" means the refundable deposit stated in clause 4; "Term" means the period of this tenancy stated in clause 2; "Fixtures" means the fittings, furniture and appliances listed in Schedule II; and "Month" means a calendar month.

1.2  Headings are for convenience only and do not affect the meaning of a clause. The Schedules form part of this Agreement. A reference to a law includes that law as amended or replaced from time to time.

2. TERM OF THE TENANCY

2.1  The Landlord lets and the Tenant takes the Premises on rent for a term of 11 months commencing on 13/11/2026 (the "Commencement Date"), unless ended earlier in accordance with this Agreement.

2.2  The Parties intend this tenancy to run for the Term stated above. A lease of immovable property for a term of more than one year requires a registered document under the Registration Act, 1908. If the Term, together with any renewal, is to exceed that period, or if the law of the state requires registration or a different stamp duty for this Agreement, the Parties shall get it registered at the cost agreed in clause 19.

2.3  This Agreement may be renewed for a further term only by a fresh written agreement signed by both Parties at least thirty (30) days before the expiry of the Term, on a rent increased by 10% or on such other rent as the Parties agree. Continuing in possession after the Term, without such a renewal, shall not by itself create a new tenancy for any fixed period, and the Tenant shall be liable to pay the last agreed Rent for the period of such possession.

3. RENT

3.1  The Tenant shall pay to the Landlord a monthly Rent of Rs. 8,000/- (Rupees Eight thousand only) for the Premises.

3.2  The Rent for each Month is payable in advance on or before the 5th day of that Month, by bank transfer to the Landlord's account no. XXXX4521 (IFSC SBIN0001234) or UPI. The Landlord shall give a written or digital receipt for every payment, and the Tenant may keep these receipts as proof for claiming house rent allowance.

3.3  If the Rent is not paid within seven (7) days after its due date, the Tenant shall pay a late charge of 2% (two per cent) of the unpaid amount for each month or part of a month of delay, without affecting the Landlord's other rights under this Agreement.

3.4  The Rent is exclusive of the charges mentioned in clause 6. Where the law requires tax to be deducted at source from the Rent, the Tenant shall deduct and deposit it with the government and give the Landlord the certificate for it, and the amount deducted shall be treated as paid to the Landlord.

4. SECURITY DEPOSIT

4.1  The Tenant has paid to the Landlord, on or before signing this Agreement, an interest-free refundable Security Deposit of Rs. 16,000/- (receipt of which the Landlord acknowledges by signing this Agreement), as security for the payment of Rent and other charges and for the proper care of the Premises and the Fixtures.

4.2  The Security Deposit shall not be treated as Rent and the Tenant shall not adjust it against the Rent for any Month, except with the Landlord's written consent.

4.3  On the Tenant handing over vacant and peaceful possession of the Premises, the Landlord shall refund the Security Deposit within fifteen (15) days, after deducting only: (a) Rent and other charges that remain unpaid; (b) the cost of repairing damage to the Premises or the Fixtures beyond normal wear and tear, supported by bills or a written estimate; and (c) any amount payable for the unexpired notice period. The Landlord shall give the Tenant a written statement of every deduction.

5. LOCK-IN PERIOD

5.1  The Parties agree to a lock-in period of 3 months from the Commencement Date. During the lock-in period neither Party shall end this tenancy, except for a breach by the other Party that is not cured as required by clause 12.

If the Landlord ends the tenancy during the lock-in period without cause, the Landlord shall refund the Security Deposit and pay the Tenant an amount equal to one month's Rent as compensation for the inconvenience.

6. MAINTENANCE, UTILITIES AND TAXES

6.1  The Tenant shall pay, as and when they fall due, the charges for electricity (according to the meter reading), water, piped gas, internet, cable, telephone and any other service that the Tenant uses at the Premises.

6.2  The Landlord shall pay the property tax, municipal charges, ground rent and any other tax or levy on the Premises as owner, and any major repair or periodic charge of the society or association that is not part of the day-to-day maintenance.

6.3  The Tenant shall pay all the dues of services in the Tenant's use up to the date of vacating and shall give the Landlord the last paid bills when handing over possession. The electricity connection shall remain in the Landlord's name unless the Parties agree otherwise in writing.
