Highlighting the legal nuances, Asha Kiran Sharma stated, “An unregistered rental agreement, while legally valid for 11 months or less, poses risks for both landlords and tenants. For landlords, it may weaken their ability to enforce eviction or recover unpaid rent through legal channels. Tenants, on the other hand, face challenges in claiming refunds of security deposits or addressing arbitrary changes to terms.”

Her remarks emphasize the importance of proper documentation in rental agreements to safeguard the interests of both parties. By addressing the potential pitfalls, Sharma has once again demonstrated her commitment to enhancing awareness around property law and tenant-landlord relationships in India.
