Rent agreement in Coimbatore
Coimbatore — Tamil Nadu's second-largest city and a major textiles, engineering and manufacturing hub — draws a large migrant and student workforce that rents. As across Tamil Nadu, a letting is documented as a rent agreement and the tenancy must be registered with the Rent Authority under the Tamil Nadu Regulation of Rights and Responsibilities of Landlords and Tenants Act, 2017; the process is handled online through the TNREGINET portal, and 11-month terms remain common.
