Create a Leave and Licence Agreement

Parties & Recitals

The preamble: date and place, the Licensor and Licensee with the recital wording their entityType selects, and the recitals stating that what follows is leave and licence only — no tenancy, no interest in the premises.

Definitions

The four defined terms every other clause relies on: Licensed Premises, Licence Fee, Licence Period, Security Deposit.

Licensed Premises

Identifies the premises use of which is licensed — address, furnishing, and any parking or floor particulars. The description is what the police intimation and any registration will carry, so it should match the property records.

Licence Period

When the licence begins and how long it runs. The period is stated as a fixed term; nothing in the clause creates a right of renewal — any extension needs a fresh written agreement, which keeps the licence a licence.

Licence Fee

The monthly compensation for use of the premises — deliberately called a licence fee, not rent, because rent presumes a tenancy. Carries the due day, payment mode, and any agreed escalation.

Security Deposit

The interest-free refundable deposit, the period within which it comes back after the premises are handed over, and what may lawfully be deducted from it.

Licence Only — No Tenancy or Interest

The clause that makes this instrument what it is: a bare licence under Section 52 of the Indian Easements Act, 1882. No tenancy, sub-tenancy or lease is created; no interest or estate in the premises passes; juridical possession remains with the Licensor; the permission is personal and non-transferable.

Use of the Premises

What the premises may be used for — reads the shared licenseUse — plus the conduct obligations: no nuisance, no unlawful use, no structural alterations, compliance with society and building rules, and any occupancy limit.

Licensor's Obligations

What the Licensor carries: property tax and outgoings of ownership, structural and major repairs, undisturbed use while the licence subsists and the Licensee performs, and any society permission needed for the arrangement.

Licensee's Obligations

What the Licensee carries: paying the fee and usage charges, keeping the premises in good condition, permitting inspection on notice, and returning the premises as received.

Termination & Revocation

How the licence ends before its date: termination for convenience on notice (outside any lock-in), revocation for unremedied breach, and automatic determination on expiry.

Vacation & Consequences of Overstay

What happens when the licence ends: immediate vacation and handover, removal of the Licensee's belongings, the Licensor's resumption of full use — possible without dispossession proceedings precisely because possession never passed — and per-day compensation for overstay.

Stamp Duty, Registration & Police Intimation

The compliance clause: stamp duty in every case; in Maharashtra, compulsory registration under Section 55 of the Maharashtra Rent Control Act, 1999 (the Licensor's duty, with penal consequences for default) and intimation of the Licensee's particulars to the police where required; elsewhere, registration as the parties elect and the general law requires.

Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

Applicable law, jurisdiction, and dispute resolution mechanism (courts or arbitration under Indian law).

General Provisions

The closing machinery: entire agreement, written amendments, notices, severability, no waiver by indulgence, counterparts, and the relationship of the parties confined to licensor and licensee.
