Why do You Need to Sign a Paying Guest Accommodation Agreement?

At present, there is a huge influx of students and young employees to metros and tier 2 cities like Jaipur. Living away from their hometown is not simple for young men and women, but finding a good PG accommodation is like winning a half marathon. A paying guest accommodation provides a home-like environment for students. Unlike a rented flat, a paying guest accommodation is a portion of the landlord's house, where you get many facilities like food, sanitation facility, and 24/7 security.

Before moving in as a paying guest, an individual must sign a paying guest accommodation agreement with the landlord. This legal document serves as proof of your local agreement. Plus, it protects your rights at the time of any legal dispute with the landlord. Before digging deep into it let's find how a paying guest accommodation agreement is different from a rent agreement.



Rent agreement vs. paying guest accommodation agreement

Signing a rental agreement is compulsory in case of renting a house or flat. Unlike a rental agreement, signing a paying guest agreement has not been made mandatory by many Indian states. But the Rajasthan government has come forward to regulate the functioning of paying guest accommodations. Thus, the law also makes it mandatory for a landlord to sign a paying guest agreement.

A paying guest accommodation agreement is valid for 11 months. Since it is only a license to stay and use the premises, it can be made for 1 year or a few months, depending on your requirements.

Benefits of Signing a Paying Guest Agreement

A well-drafted paying guest agreement protects the rights of both the owner and paying guest. Moreover, it prevents any conflict arising in the future.

By defining the rights and duties of both parties, a paying guest accommodation agreement ensures that both parties stick to rules which were agreed upon in advance.

The paying guest agreement also serves as proof of local address for the paying guest. Plus, it serves as proof of the rent and other expenses that you will be paying.

And, in case the landlord does not abide by the rules mentioned in the agreement paper, you can sue him/her.

Conclusion- A paying guest accommodation agreement helps in protecting the rights of a paying guest. Plus, it serves as proof of local address for the paying guest. And, it prevents any conflict between the landlord and paying guests in the future. Signing this agreement also ensures that if the landlord stays away from any clause, you can sue him.
