FormatsLetters between landlord, tenant and society
Most quarrels over rented homes come from things that were said but never written. A dated letter fixes that. Keep it factual: the address, the dates, the amount, and what you are asking the other person to do. Deliver it in a way you can prove later, such as by hand against a signature, by registered post, or by email.
Your rent agreement is the first authority. Read its clauses on notice period, deposit and repairs before you write, and quote them.
Declarations and affidavits
A self-declaration is a statement you sign yourself. An affidavit is a statement sworn before a notary or a magistrate, usually on stamp paper. They are not the same, so ask the office which one it wants.
The drafts here use general wording. Offices often have their own format, and stamp paper values differ by state. For anything that involves property, money or a dispute, show the draft to a lawyer.
