Document background
The End Of Tenancy Letter is a crucial document in the Indian rental market, used when either a landlord or tenant wishes to formally terminate a rental agreement. It must comply with both federal legislation (such as the Transfer of Property Act, 1882) and state-specific Rent Control Acts, which vary by jurisdiction within India. The document serves multiple purposes: it provides formal notice of termination, establishes the intended end date of the tenancy, outlines the process for property inspection and key return, and addresses matters related to security deposits and utilities. This letter becomes particularly important as documentary evidence in case of future disputes and should contain all necessary elements to be legally valid under Indian law. It's commonly used in both residential and commercial tenancies and can be initiated by either the landlord or tenant, depending on the circumstances of the termination.
