About Nepal Rent Agreement Generator (घरबहाल सम्झौता पत्र)

Renting a room, flat, shutter, or entire house in Nepal requires a legally binding written contract to protect both the landlord (घरधनी) and the tenant (बहालमा बस्ने व्यक्ति). Under Part 5, Chapter 9 of the Nepal Muluki Civil Code 2074 (मुलुकी देवानी संहिता २०७४ 'घर बहाल सम्बन्धी व्यवस्था'), any tenancy where the monthly rent exceeds Rs 20,000 must be executed in writing. This generator creates an authentic, standardized tenancy agreement in Nepali or English with one-click print and PDF export.

Statutory Tenancy Rights under Nepal Law

Standard Notice Period: By law, either party wishing to vacate or repossess the property before the agreed lease term must provide at least 35 days' written notice unless mutually agreed otherwise.
Rent Increment Restrictions: Rent cannot be arbitrarily increased before the expiration of the agreed contractual term.
Security Deposit (धरौटी): Landlords must issue a clear receipt for advance security deposits and refund the balance upon vacating after deducting legitimate electricity/utility arrears or physical damage repair costs.
Sub-leasing: Under the Muluki Civil Code, a tenant cannot sub-lease the property to third parties without the landlord's explicit written consent.

Frequently asked questions

Is a written rent agreement mandatory in Nepal?

Yes. Section 384 of the Muluki Civil Code 2074 stipulates that where the monthly rent exceeds Rs 20,000, the landlord and tenant must enter into a written agreement. Having a written agreement is strongly recommended for all tenancies regardless of amount to avoid disputes.

Does a rent agreement need to be notarized or registered at the Ward office in Nepal?

While signing the agreement in the presence of two witnesses makes it legally binding, registering the agreement at your local Municipality Ward Office (वडा कार्यालय) and paying the 10% House Rent Tax (घरबहाल कर) ensures full legal protection and allows tenants to use the address for business registration.

What is the mandatory notice period to vacate in Nepal?

The default statutory notice period under Section 392 of the Civil Code is 35 days in writing.

Who pays the house rent tax (घरबहाल कर) in Nepal?

Legally, the house owner (landlord) is responsible for paying the 10% rental tax to their local municipality ward. However, for commercial leases, the lease agreement often stipulates whether rent is gross or net of TDS.
