Around Ranganathan Street, Usman Road and Pondy Bazaar, premises often change hands and leases are renewed frequently. Mistakes in stamping, registration or lock-in terms can be costly. T. Nagar is a short drive from our Saidapet office, and many matters can start by video call.

Frequently asked questions

Does a shop lease in T. Nagar need to be registered?
Leases over eleven months generally require registration, and Tamil Nadu's tenancy law requires tenancy agreements to be documented. We advise on both before signing.
My landlord wants a large rent increase. What can I do?
First check what the lease says about escalation and renewal. We then advise on negotiation or the remedies available under the tenancy law.
Can you check a flat's title before I pay an advance?
Yes. It is best to do this before paying any advance.
