Students at the university and medical colleges, professionals moving from Chennai, families settling near Auroville: many tenants in Puducherry arrive from somewhere else, and many landlords live out of town. Signing online solves both.
How It Works
Enter the details. Landlord, tenant, property address with street and nagar, rent, deposit and term.
Review the free draft. Add furnished-flat inventories, water and power terms, guest rules for student rooms.
Pay for e-stamp paper. We generate a Puducherry e-stamp certificate for the duty on your rent and term.
Sign with Aadhaar OTP. Every party signs from their own phone.
Download. The signed PDF goes to everyone and stays in the Law At Ease app.
Registration. Only leases longer than one year must be registered, under Section 17 of the Registration Act, 1908. An 11-month agreement doesn’t need it.
Documents. Aadhaar number, address and Aadhaar-linked mobile for the landlord, tenant and two witnesses; the full property address; rent, deposit and term. Add the landlord’s PAN if the tenant claims HRA on rent above ₹1 lakh a year. Create Now!
Do Tamil Nadu Rules Apply in Puducherry?
No. Puducherry is a separate union territory with its own stamp duty and registration administration. A flat in Lawspet or White Town is stamped under Puducherry’s rules, not Tamil Nadu’s, even though the city is surrounded by Tamil Nadu. Renting in Cuddalore, Villupuram or Chennai? That’s Tamil Nadu: use our Tamil Nadu rental agreement page.
