Leave and License Agreement

A leave and license agreement is an agreement between an owner of a property and the licensee where in the licensee is allowed by the licensor to temporarily occupy a part or whole of his immovable property, as the requirement and arrangement may be, for a specific period of time. The licensee is allowed to carry on his business or use the property for residential purposes, as the case may be. The leave and license agreement is generally drafted for a period of 11 months and for this, the licensee shall pay a fixed amount of rent/license fee to the licensor. The financial terms usually include a 6-12months of security deposit and a monthly or quarterly amount in advance.

Companies with 1 Crore Paid Up Capital or Foreign Entities with liaison offices or BPO’s set up in the same region. While the agreements generally are signed for tenure of 11 months, most of the owners prefer a contract for 3 years with renewable options thrown in coupled with either lock in periods or escalations. The Leave and License agreement has be to be mandatorily registered with the sub registrar of assurances at the place of jurisdiction were the property is situated.

Several inclusions called clauses feature in a sale agreement. The clauses describe the property, the buyer and seller details, the negotiated and final price and the mode of payment or its disbursement. There will also be the period for the payment, the provision for payment of stamp duty and for the transfer of property title. The clauses are the most important aspect of the agreement since they outline whether the transaction is a successful and legal one. The agreement will tell you whether the amount of money to be paid is to be made in full cash or in part or agreed to be paid partially in future as agreed upon. Some of the clauses will include municipal taxes, maintenance charges and the payment towards the building society, in case of an apartment being purchased in a society.

The ‘Property Sale Agreement’ comes under the purview of the Indian Contract Act 1872, the Registration Act 1908 and the Transfer of Property Act. Whoever enters in to a contract of buying or selling a property-whether commercial or residential, comes under the jurisdiction of these three acts. It is always imperative to enter into a contract through written agreement so that the property’s ownership is legally established.

The property needs to be registered in the name of buyer by the seller at the local registrar office.

  • Stamp Duty: The onus to ensure that the property is registered on his name lies with the buyer. The stamp duty rates are fixed by the relevant authorities and may vary from state to state. The buyer needs to pay the requisite stamp duty at the rate sanctioned the government for transferring the property.

  • Sale Deed: This follows the Property Sale Agreement as an understanding between the buyer and the seller. The matter needs to be scrutinized by experts a many times before being finally signed upon.

  • Indemnity Clause: This clause identifies the buyer against any legal dispute/defect in the property. It also mentions that the seller shall compensate the buyer for any loss suffered by the buyer at the dominant market rate. For example, the property prices rising suddenly specially in metros. The clause should be drafted carefully and with all possible scenarios included.

  • Penalty Clause: Generally, buyers pay a token amount at the time of signing the Sale Agreement It needs to be clearly mentioned in the agreement, that if the buyer backs out of the deal, the seller has the right to forfeit the entire token amount. Another clause can also be included that in the case of seller backing out of the deal, the buyer should get back the entire token money along with the equivalent amount as penalty. If this is not done, the seller might keep looking for a buyer who would pay extra token money and may then suddenly call of the deal with the previous buyer.
