Agreement types
Types of rental agreements we support in Karnataka
11-Month Residential Rental Agreement
The most common choice for flats and independent houses across Karnataka. An 11-month term stays below the compulsory-registration threshold, keeping stamp duty low and paperwork minimal.
Commercial Lease Agreement
For shops, offices, and business premises in Bengaluru and other Karnataka cities. Capture lock-in, escalation, and maintenance terms with clauses tailored to commercial tenancies.
PG & Hostel Agreement
Paying-guest and hostel arrangements need clear house rules, deposit, and notice terms. Draft a compliant PG/hostel agreement in minutes and e-sign with every occupant.
Long-Term Lease Agreement
For tenures beyond 11 months. Registration becomes mandatory, and Regal helps you draft the agreement with the right stamp duty and clauses for a longer commitment.
Stamp duty
Karnataka stamp duty & e-stamp paper requirements
Every rental agreement in Karnataka must be stamped to be valid. For a standard 11-month residential agreement, stamp duty is generally 0.5% of the total rent for the term, capped at ₹500. Regal calculates the exact amount and handles official e-stamping at checkout — no trips to the sub-registrar for physical stamp paper.

Rental law
Rental law in Karnataka: the Karnataka Rent Act, 1999
Governing law
Residential tenancies in the state are governed primarily by the Karnataka Rent Act, 1999, alongside the Registration Act and the Karnataka Stamp Act for stamping and registration.
Registration threshold
Registration is mandatory for agreements exceeding 11 months. This is why the 11-month rental agreement is the default across Bengaluru and Karnataka — it stays below the compulsory-registration limit.
Rights & obligations
The Act frames the core landlord–tenant relationship: rent, deposit, eviction grounds, and essential maintenance. A well-drafted written agreement makes these terms explicit and enforceable.

FAQ
Common questions
Electronic signatures are legally recognised under the IT Act, 2000. Regal supports signing flows that align with that framework, so a rental agreement e-signed on Regal carries the same standing as a physically signed one for most residential rentals.
Yes — stamping is required for rental agreements in Karnataka. Regal handles e-stamping through the official e-stamp system, so you don't need to shop for physical stamp paper. The stamp duty is added transparently at checkout.
For a standard residential agreement of up to 11 months, stamp duty in Karnataka is generally 0.5% of the total rent for the term, capped at ₹500. Longer terms attract higher rates (about 1% for 1–10 years). Regal computes the exact amount for your agreement automatically.
Registration is mandatory only for agreements exceeding 11 months under the Registration Act. A standard 11-month agreement does not strictly require registration, which is why most Bengaluru rentals use an 11-month term. Notarisation is optional and separate from stamping.
An 11-month term keeps the agreement below the threshold that triggers compulsory registration under the Registration Act, reducing cost and paperwork. Agreements longer than 11 months should be registered to be fully enforceable.
Key clauses include the monthly rent and due date, security deposit and refund conditions, lock-in period, notice period, maintenance charges, and permitted use of the property. Regal's guided draft includes these by default and lets you add custom terms.
