Self-service scan — not legal advice for court disputes.
This is what the checker scans for — and what a lawyer would look for first.
1. Security deposit — amount, refund timeline, deduction conditions
The #1 dispute. Without written deduction conditions, getting your money back is your word against theirs.
2. Monthly rent, due date, and payment mode
Courts need provable terms. Madras HC cases show unproven rent terms sinking otherwise valid claims.
3. Notice period for both sides
Prevents overnight evictions and tenants vanishing — and defines when a legal notice can escalate.
4. Maintenance split — who fixes what
Plumbing, electrical, whitewashing: the second-biggest fight. TNRRLTA 2017 expects it spelled out.
5. Rent increase rules
No arbitrary mid-tenancy hikes; increases only as the agreement provides.
6. Landlord entry notice
Your possession is protected — entry needs reasonable prior notice.
7. Lock-in period (if any) stated fairly
A hidden lock-in traps tenants; an absent one surprises landlords. Either way it must be explicit.
8. Fixtures, fittings & inventory annexure
The handover record with photos and meter readings is the evidence that decides deposit fights.
9. TNRRLTA 2017 mandatory clauses (Tamil Nadu)
Agreements aligned with the Act are enforceable before the Rent Authority and Rent Court.
10. Eviction grounds & dispute forum
Section 21 grounds and the Rent Court route — the difference between a 6-month remedy and a 6-year suit.
Our court case library documents real Madras High Court outcomes: landlords denied fast-track eviction for want of a written registered agreement, tenancies stuck in litigation for years over unprovable terms, and deposits lost for lack of evidence. The pattern across every case is the same — the paperwork you skip at move-in is the case you can't win later.

What does the checker actually look for?
