Can an Unregistered Rent Agreement Be Legally Enforced?” — Or Is It Just a Fancy Piece of Paper? 📝🏠❌
Client's common confusion:
“I’ve rented out my property with a written agreement, but we didn’t register it. Can I still take legal action if my tenant defaults?” 😰🔑
Short answer: You can try... but the court might treat your case like an uninvited guest! 🚪🙅♂️

🏛️ Registered vs Unregistered Rent Agreement – What’s the Big Deal?
👉 If your rent agreement is for 11 months or less, registration is optional but recommended.
👉 But if it's for more than 11 months, registration is mandatory under Section 17 of the Registration Act, 1908.
Without registration, it's just... paper. Courts often won’t consider it as valid evidence unless you can prove everything else. 😬📉
