Rent Agreement in Guwahati: the process in Assam
Registration and legal formalities are governed at the state level, so the exact law, portal and fees for Guwahati follow Assam's rules. Here's how it works.
Governing law. Indian Contract Act, 1872, TPA, 1882, the Registration Act, 1908 and the Indian Stamp Act as amended for Assam (Stamp (Assam Amendment) Act). Stamping and any registration are administered by IGR Assam. Tenancy is also subject to applicable Assam rent/tenancy norms.
How rent agreement works in Assam
- Negotiate and finalise terms between landlord and tenant
- Draft the agreement
- Procure the appropriate stamp paper / e-stamp for the required value
- Print and have both parties sign (with witnesses)
- For 11 months or less, notarise; for longer terms, register before the Sub-Registrar
- (If registering) book appointment, parties appear, and the SRO registers the agreement
Documents required in Assam
- ID and address proof of landlord and tenant
- Proof of ownership of the property (for the landlord)
- Passport-size photographs (for registration)
- Witness details/ID (for registration)
- Appropriate stamp paper / e-stamp certificate
Good to know in Assam: The 11-month term avoids compulsory registration; agreements above 11 months/one year require registration to be enforceable. Who bears stamp/registration cost is by mutual agreement (often the tenant). Confirm rates from the Stamp (Assam Amendment) Act / IGR Assam.

Rent Agreement FAQs
Is an 11-month agreement different from a registered one?
Agreements of 11 months are common because they often don't require registration. For longer durations, registration is usually mandatory — we'll advise based on your state and term.
Can the agreement be used as address proof?
A properly stamped and, where needed, registered rental agreement is widely accepted as address proof and for police verification.
Who usually pays for the agreement?
This varies by arrangement — sometimes the tenant, sometimes split. We simply prepare it correctly for whoever is arranging it.
