About this tool
Generate a rent revision notice with the new rent, effective date, deposit top-up and a check against notice-period and rent-cap rules.
A rent revision notice is the written intimation a landlord gives a tenant fixing a new monthly rent and the date it starts. This drafter takes the present rent and either a percentage or a flat new figure, then works out the change per month, the change over twelve months, the annualised rate since the rent was last fixed, and any deposit top-up that follows from a deposit expressed in months of rent. It also checks the notice against section 9 of the Model Tenancy Act, 2021, which asks for three months' written notice before the revised rent becomes due in states that have enacted it.

Enter either and the tool derives the other, so a 'round it to 27,000' decision still shows the real percentage.
An 8% rise after three years is under 3% a year — the notice can say so, which makes it far easier to accept.
Counts the days to the effective date and names the earliest date a three-month notice would allow.
Under section 9 of the Model Tenancy Act, 2021, the landlord must give the tenant written notice three months before the revised rent becomes due, and may only revise in accordance with the tenancy agreement. That Act binds you only where your state or union territory has enacted its own version, so read the escalation clause in your agreement first.
For an ordinary market-rate tenancy there is no statutory percentage — the escalation clause in the agreement governs, and 5% to 10% a year is the common range in Indian city agreements. Where premises are governed by a rent control Act the position is different: the Maharashtra Rent Control Act, 1999 allows 4% a year of standard rent, and the Delhi Rent Control Act, 1958 allows 10% every three years.
Only if the agreement provides for it. Where the agreement fixes the rent for a term, the rent stays fixed for that term, and a landlord who wants different terms generally has to let the term run out or terminate the tenancy properly. A revision imposed mid-term without a clause supporting it is open to challenge.
Only if the agreement links the deposit to the rent, for example two months' rent. If it does, a rise of 2,000 a month on a two-month deposit means 4,000 more to be topped up. Many landlords leave the deposit untouched at renewal to keep the negotiation simple, and the Model Tenancy Act caps a residential deposit at two months' rent in any case.
