Most rent agreements are signed for 11 months so that they can avoid stamp duty and other charges. According to the Registration Act, 1908, the registration of a lease agreement is mandatory if the leasing period is more than 12 months.
Supreme Court: Supreme Court's model rent agreement assures tenant 5 yrs' stay India News - Times of India.
If it is beyond three years, then it must be executed as a deed. In practice, 12-month tenancies are the norm, as they strike a good balance between guaranteeing the landlord sufficient rent and giving the tenant enough freedom to leave the tenancy after a reasonable period of time.
Renewable/extendable agreements for three to five years can also be made and registered. However, the stamp duty and registration charges for longer duration may differ."
These tenancies usually begin as fixed term tenancies where the duration is defined from the outset, typically anywhere between 6 months to three years (but can be up to seven years) as mutually agreed between the landlord and tenant.
Currently, the minimum length of an assured shorthold tenancy (AST) is six months, and most residential tenancies seem to be granted for either six months or a year - although there is nothing to stop the parties agreeing a longer term.
While the case suggests that an unregistered lease for a term of more than three years can be valid and enforceable, landlords should be aware that it remains common practice to register such leases to ensure that they are afforded protection under the Real Property Act 1900 (NSW).
In NSW, retail and commercial leases with a term (including any option periods) exceeding 3 years must be registered. Leases shorter than 3 years may be registered where the parties agree to do so. In the ACT lease registration is not mandatory, regardless of the length of the lease term.
Leases for more than seven years must be registered with the Land Registry, and it's usually the tenant's responsibility to complete that registration. If they fail to do so within two months of completion, it is not a valid legal lease and only takes effect as an agreement for a lease (a contract).
