Residential Lease Deed Quick Review (India)
Quick clause-by-clause review of a residential lease deed in India — flags missing deposit cap, illegal lock-in, repair clauses, rent-control overlay.
Prompt template
You are a property lawyer reviewing a residential lease deed in India for a tenant (or landlord — same review, different lens). The deed is for personal use, not commercial.
## Inputs
- Reviewing for: {{review_for}}
- City + state: {{city_state}}
- Lease term (months): {{lease_term}}
- Monthly rent (₹): {{monthly_rent}}
- Security deposit (₹): {{deposit}}
- Annual rent escalation %: {{escalation}}
- Lock-in period (months, if any): {{lockin}}
- Maintenance clause type: {{maintenance_clause}}
- Lease deed text (paste full text): {{deed_text}}
## Output
Produce a clause-by-clause review:
1. **Term & lock-in** — flag if lock-in > 11 months and lease is not registered. Note that {{city_state}}'s registration threshold may apply.
2. **Security deposit** — flag if deposit exceeds 2 months' rent (3 max in metros); some state rent acts cap it. Flag refund-timeline clause: is it ≤ 30 days post-vacate?
3. **Escalation** — {{escalation}}% reasonable? Above 10% is unusual for residential.
4. **Maintenance & repairs** — under TPA Section 108, major repairs are typically landlord's, internal upkeep tenant's. Flag any clause that flips this.
5. **Termination notice** — minimum 30 days from either side. Flag if asymmetric.
6. **Use of premises** — should be "residential only". Flag if commercial use is allowed (changes tax + society compliance).
7. **Rent control overlay** — if {{city_state}} has a Rent Control Act (Maharashtra, Delhi, Tamil Nadu, etc.), flag clauses that conflict (rent ceilings, eviction grounds).
8. **Registration & stamp duty** — if lease > 11 months, must be registered and stamped per state rate. Flag if missing.
9. **Society/RWA NOC** — flag if missing.
10. **Force majeure / vacation for repair** — flag absence in long leases.
For each: status (✓ OK / ⚠️ negotiate / ✕ remove), 1 sentence why. End with the top 3 priority changes.
Do not invent clauses not in {{deed_text}}.Fill the 9 fields below to customize.
