Rent Agreement in Visakhapatnam: the process in Andhra Pradesh
Registration and legal formalities are governed at the state level, so the exact law, portal and fees for Visakhapatnam follow Andhra Pradesh's rules. Here's how it works.
Governing law. Indian Stamp Act, 1899 (as applied in AP) and the Registration Act, 1908 (s.17 — registration compulsory for leases over 11 months/one year). Registration administered by IGRS AP. The 11-month leave-and-license is the common residential form.
How rent agreement works in Andhra Pradesh
- Negotiate and finalise rent, deposit, term and conditions
- Draft the agreement
- Procure e-stamp of the appropriate value via IGRS AP / authorised vendor
- Execute (both parties and witnesses sign)
- For 11 months or less: notarise (no registration). For over 11 months: book a slot and register before the Sub-Registrar with witnesses
- Receive the executed (and registered, if applicable) agreement
Documents required in Andhra Pradesh
- ID and address proof of landlord and tenant (Aadhaar / PAN / passport)
- Proof of ownership (or authority to let)
- Passport-size photographs of both parties
- Property tax receipt / electricity bill (premises proof)
- e-stamp paper of the appropriate value; ID of witnesses (where registered)
Good to know in Andhra Pradesh: The 11-month term avoids compulsory registration. Registration is mandatory for leases over 11 months/one year. Stamp-duty percentages step up with longer terms; verify current slabs on the IGRS AP calculator.

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.
