Difference between Rent Agreement & Leave and License Agreement

People often think that Rent Agreement and Leave and License Agreement are the same. Both are very different from each other.

As per the Rent Control Act of India, rent agreement allows a tenant to claim the property after staying 10+ years. But, Leave and License Agreement never allows the licensee to claim the property.

With the Leave and License Agreement, the owner or the licensor enjoys more benefits than the owner in Rent Agreement.

Rent Agreement in India is governed by the Rent Control Act. But, Leave and License Agreement is administered by Indian Easement Act 1882.
