Rent with
Complete Clarity.
And Full Control.
Tenanting gives tenants a guided, transparent onboarding experience — secure KYC, digital lease with time to read it, rent reminders, issue tracking, and a single place for all your tenancy records. No paperwork chase. No blind spots.
Sent the same document 3 times
Still unsure if the owner received it or what stage you're at in the process.
Lease arrived the day before move-in
No time to read it properly. Signed because you had no choice.
Maintenance request went into a void
Told the owner on WhatsApp two weeks ago. Still no update. No record.
No receipt for six months of rent
Tax season, income proof request, or housing loan — and there's nothing on paper.
One Guided Flow.
No Repeated Documents.
No Blind Spots.
Most rental onboarding in India is an informal back-and-forth — WhatsApp messages, physical photocopies, and no confirmation that anything was actually received or reviewed. Tenanting replaces all of that with a single guided process where you always know what's needed, what's been submitted, and what's next.
"The invite arrives. You click the link. Everything you need to submit is listed. You do it once, on your phone, and you are done."
1. Owner sends you a secure invite
You receive a link via SMS or email — no app installation required. One tap to open on any browser, any phone.
Typically 2 minutes2. Identity & consent — Aadhaar linked
Aadhaar-linked identity verification with a selfie liveness check. You control what is shared and you explicitly consent to each data category.
Under 10 minutes3. Documents — uploaded once
Address proof, employment letter or income proof — uploaded securely in one step. No re-sending the same file because it was lost in a chat.
5–10 minutes4. Owner reviews — you see the status
Your dashboard shows exactly where the review stands: submitted, under review, or approved. No follow-up calls to ask "did you receive it?"
Typically <24h5. Lease — read it, sign it, keep it
The lease is shared digitally before move-in. You read it in full. If you agree, you e-sign. Your signed copy is in your Tenanting vault permanently.

Your Aadhaar Is Not
a Photocopy in a File.
Your Data Has Rights.
The standard rental process in India requires handing over Aadhaar copies, income documents, and personal details — to an agent, a broker, or a landlord — with no written consent, no purpose limit, and no right to ask for deletion. Tenanting is built on the opposite principle: you consent explicitly to each data category, you know exactly what is shared, and you can exercise your DPDP Act rights at any time.
- Explicit, category-level consent: You consent to each data type separately — identity, address, employment, photo. Not one blanket checkbox that covers everything.
- Aadhaar number masked at rest: Your Aadhaar number is masked (XXXX XXXX 4782) after verification. It is never stored in full, never displayed in full, never shared as plain text.
- Purpose-limited sharing: Your data is used for the specific tenancy you are applying for and nothing else. No cross-property sharing, no marketing lists, no third-party sales.
- AES-256 encryption: Every document you upload — Aadhaar scan, income proof, address document — is encrypted before it is stored. The storage layer never sees readable files.
- DPDP Act 2023 rights enforced: Right to access, right to correction, right to erasure — all exercisable by you, from your account, at any time after tenancy ends.
- Retention and deletion schedule: Your data is retained for the statutory minimum period after tenancy ends (required by Indian law for financial records), then deleted — or on your earlier request where law permits.

Read the Lease
Before You Sign It.
The Radical Idea.
In the informal rental market, the lease often arrives with implicit pressure to sign immediately. Tenanting sends it to you digitally, in advance, with every clause visible and highlighted. You read it in your own time, on your own device. You sign when you are ready — and your signed copy lives in your vault permanently.
- Lease shared before move-in, not at the door: You receive the lease document with time to read it. No last-minute signature under pressure.
- All key terms clearly displayed: Rent, deposit, duration, due date, maintenance responsibilities, notice period — visible at a glance before you read the full clause text.
- e-Sign under the IT Act, 2000: Your digital signature is legally valid under Section 5 of the Information Technology Act. The signed document is timestamped and tamper-evident.
- Your copy, permanently accessible: After signing, the lease is in your Tenanting vault for the entire tenancy — and retrievable anytime for rental proof, housing loan applications, or HRA tax claims.
- Renewal notifications: 45 days before your lease ends, you receive a notification — with enough time to negotiate renewal or plan your move-out without scrambling.
- RERA-aligned templates: The lease is built on a RERA-compliant template. If a clause protects the owner unfairly or contradicts the Model Tenancy Act, the template structure flags it.
"For HRA exemption, your employer asks for a rent receipt and lease agreement. With Tenanting, both are in your portal. Downloaded in 30 seconds."
My Tenancy — Meera Iyer
Flat 2B · Kondapur, Hyderabad · Lease: Jul 2025 – May 2026
Your Entire Tenancy
in One Place.
Always Accessible.
The tenant portal is not just for onboarding. Once you move in, it becomes your central record for everything about your tenancy — rent payment history with receipts, open and resolved maintenance tickets, lease document, and every consent you gave. Useful every month. Invaluable when you need it for HRA, loan applications, or dispute resolution.
- Rent reminders before due date: Automatic reminders 5 days before rent is due via WhatsApp and email — so you never miss a date or face an overdue situation you did not know about.
- Payment receipts, every month, automatically: Each payment generates a GST-compliant digital receipt — stored in your vault, downloadable anytime for HRA claims, income proof, or housing loan submissions.
- Raise maintenance issues with photos: Submit any repair or maintenance request directly from the portal with photos. It is logged with a timestamp — no longer a WhatsApp message that the owner can claim never arrived.
- Issue status visibility: Know whether your ticket is under review, a vendor has been assigned, or work is scheduled — without making a follow-up call.
- Lease and all documents accessible forever: Your rental agreement, KYC submission record, and payment receipts remain accessible for the duration of the tenancy and for the statutory period after.

Why Tenants Feel Safe on Tenanting
Security, transparency, and tenant-first design are not features — they are the foundation the platform is built on.
AES-256 Encrypted Documents
Every file you upload — Aadhaar scan, income proof, lease — is encrypted before storage. A breach of the storage layer returns unreadable bytes, not your documents.
Explicit, Revocable Consent
You consent to each data category separately. Purpose is documented. After tenancy, you can request deletion of personal data under DPDP Act, 2023 rights.
Zero Data Monetisation
Your information is never sold, never used for advertising, never profiled for financial scoring outside the rental context. Tenanting is a platform, not a data broker.
Transparent Process, Always
At every step — KYC, lease, rent, maintenance — you see exactly what stage you are at and what is needed next. No blind spots. No undocumented demands.
No Undocumented Deposits
Your security deposit amount, conditions for refund, and the legal basis for any deduction are all documented in the lease before you pay. Nothing informal about money.
Permanent Tenancy Record
Lease, rent receipts, maintenance history, and KYC — all retained and accessible throughout tenancy, and available as a tenancy reference record after you move out.
Know Your Rights
The Laws That Protect You
As a Tenant in India.
Most tenants do not know what the law entitles them to. Tenanting is designed to uphold these rights — not work around them.
Model Tenancy Act 2021
Security deposit is capped at 2 months rent for residential properties. No undocumented increases. No informal extensions of the deposit without a revised lease.
DPDP Act 2023 — Your Data Rights
Right to know what data is collected. Right to correction. Right to erasure after tenancy ends. Right to nominate someone else to exercise your rights. All enforceable under Indian law.
IT Act 2000 — e-Sign Validity
Your digital signature on the Tenanting lease is legally valid under Section 5 and admissible as evidence under Section 65B of the Indian Information Technology Act, 2000.
Right to Habitable Premises
The owner is legally responsible for keeping the property in habitable condition. Documented maintenance requests through Tenanting create a timestamped record — critical if you ever need to escalate.
Right to a Rent Receipt
Every rental payment entitles you to a receipt. On Tenanting, receipts are auto-generated — GST-compliant — for every transaction. Useful for HRA, income proof, and ITR filing.
Right to Notice Before Eviction
Both sides are contractually bound to the notice period in the lease. Tenanting documents the agreed notice period and renewal intent — so there are no ambiguous verbal agreements about your exit timeline.
Tenanting is a technology platform, not a legal advisor. The information above is for general awareness. For specific legal questions about your tenancy, consult a qualified legal professional.

From Tenants
What Tenants Say After Onboarding
Three renters. Three situations where documentation, clarity, or a receipt made all the difference.
"My previous landlord deducted ₹22,000 from my deposit for 'painting and repairs' that I had no record of. I had complained about most of those things during the tenancy — but on WhatsApp, which he ignored. On Tenanting now, every request is timestamped and photographed. That situation cannot repeat."
"I filed HRA for the first time properly this year. My employer asked for 12 months of rent receipts and the lease agreement. I went into Tenanting and downloaded everything in one PDF in three minutes. My CA said it was the cleanest rental documentation he had seen from a salaried employee."
"I am from Pune but renting in Hyderabad. My parents were worried about me handing over Aadhaar copies to a landlord they had never met. I showed them the Tenanting consent screen — what data is shared, for what purpose, and how I can request deletion. That conversation became much easier."
Questions
What Tenants Ask Before Starting
No. You receive a secure link via SMS or email and complete the entire onboarding process on any browser on your phone — no app download required. When the Tenanting mobile app launches, it will be available as an option, but will never be a requirement.
Currently, Tenanting is initiated by the property owner who invites tenants through the platform. If you are renting from an owner who does not yet use Tenanting, you can ask them to — particularly if you want the documentation and transparency benefits it provides. Share the owners page with them.
Your Aadhaar number is masked immediately after verification — stored as XXXX XXXX 4782 format — and never displayed in full anywhere on the platform. The property owner sees a verification report confirming your identity is verified, not your raw Aadhaar number. No third party other than the relevant owner for this specific tenancy has access to your KYC data.
Yes. Under India's DPDP Act, 2023, you have the right to request deletion of your personal data. Tenanting retains data for the statutory minimum period required by Indian law (typically 7 years for financial records). After that period, or on your request where law permits earlier deletion, your personal data is permanently deleted. Your request can be made through your account or via the grievance contact.
Yes. The e-signature is legally valid under the Information Technology Act, 2000 (Section 5), and the signed document with its audit trail is admissible as evidence under Section 65B. It is accepted as proof of residence for most purposes — bank KYC, employer address verification, HRA claims, and similar uses. For registrations requiring a physical stamp (above 11 months in most states), the digital agreement is used as the basis for registration at the relevant office.
Yes. Every rent payment on Tenanting auto-generates a GST-compliant digital receipt stored in your vault. For HRA (House Rent Allowance) exemption, your employer typically requires rent receipts and a lease agreement. Both are downloadable from your Tenanting portal at any time. Your CA can also use the consolidated annual payment record for ITR filing.
When you submit a maintenance request on Tenanting, it is logged with a timestamp, your description, and any photos you attach — creating a permanent, date-stamped record of the reported issue. If the matter ever requires escalation — to a tenancy dispute authority or legally — this documented record is significantly stronger than a WhatsApp message. Tenanting does not intervene in landlord-tenant disputes, but the documentation it creates is your strongest tool.
No. Statutory police tenant verification, which is mandated in many Indian states, must still be completed through the appropriate local police authority. Tenanting's KYC includes a background verification step that supports this process, but it does not replace the formal government-mandated police registration requirement. Your owner's responsibilities under local tenancy law remain separate from Tenanting's platform.
