Rental &
License Policy.

All stays on BreezeStay operate on a Leave & License model — not tenancy. Agreements are made directly between host and renter. BreezeStay provides the digital tools and verification.

Effective Date: 28 July 2026

Leave & License

No tenancy rights. Direct host-renter contract. Legally valid under IT Act 2000.

Admin Verified Payments

Payment proof is verified by our admin team before a booking is confirmed.

HRA-Ready Receipts

Auto-generated digital HRA receipts with host PAN — ready for your income tax claim.

Detailed Rules — Everything You Need to Know

1. Platform Role

  • BreezeStay is a digital marketplace aggregator and facilitator — not a broker.
  • We do not own, operate, manage, or lease physical properties.
  • The Leave & License agreement is executed directly between the Host (Licensor) and Renter (Licensee).
  • BreezeStay provides digital booking tools, automated agreement templates, verification, and dispute mediation assistance.

2. Nature of Occupancy — Leave & License, Not Tenancy

  • All bookings made through BreezeStay are strictly Leave & License agreements — not tenancies.
  • No permanent tenancy or occupancy rights are created under Indian rent control laws.
  • Occupancy is temporary, non-transferable, and subject to contractual termination rules.
  • This is legally significant — the owner can reclaim their property upon agreement expiry without a court order.

3. Agreement Formation & KYC Verification

  • A digital Leave & License agreement is auto-generated after the renter and host complete identity verification (document upload reviewed by our team, plus OTP-based email/phone confirmation).
  • The agreement includes both parties' identities, rent, deposit, duration, and terms.
  • OTP-based and click-wrap consent constitutes a legally valid digital signature under the IT Act, 2000.
  • A physical agreement is optional — required only if local registration authorities demand it.

4. Stamp Duty & Registration

  • Depending on state-specific rules, Leave & License agreements may require stamp duty and registration.
  • The joint responsibility for stamping and registration lies with the Host and Renter — not BreezeStay.
  • BreezeStay provides digital draft templates but does not directly execute local registration.
  • Example: In Maharashtra, agreements exceeding 11 months must be compulsorily registered.

5. Agreement Duration & Renewal

  • Standard digital agreements are configured for up to 11 months (avoiding mandatory registration in most states).
  • Renewals require mutual consent and must be executed through the platform.
  • The agreement automatically expires at the end of the term if not actively renewed.

6. Payment Process & Verification

  • When a booking is created, its status is "pending payment". The renter must upload payment proof within 2 hours.
  • Admin verifies the payment — the booking moves to "confirmed" only after verification.
  • Unverified bookings auto-expire and the property is released.
  • Accepted modes: UPI, NEFT, IMPS, bank transfer. Cash is accepted only in exceptional cases.

7. Tax Compliance & HRA Support

  • The host's verified PAN is automatically embedded in invoices and agreement drafts.
  • BreezeStay generates HRA-compliant digital rent receipts for corporate tax claims.
  • Both parties (host and renter) are independently responsible for their income tax filings.
  • GST does not apply to platform use — applicable tax laws on rent amounts remain the parties' responsibility.

8. Utilities & Operational Charges

  • Unless explicitly stated in the listing, electricity, water, and internet costs are the renter's responsibility.
  • Structural maintenance, property tax, and society charges are strictly the host's liability.
  • Utility bills and meter readings should be transferred to the renter's name at the time of move-in.

9. Property Usage

  • The property must be used exclusively for private residential occupancy.
  • Illegal activities, commercial use, or causing community nuisance are grounds for immediate license termination and ban.
  • Violations result in check-out execution and account suspension.

10. Subletting & Assignment — Not Permitted

  • Subletting, license transfer, or adding occupants without the host's written permission is strictly prohibited.
  • The agreement is personal and non-transferable.

11. Structural Damage

  • Structural changes, heavy drilling, or major modifications are not allowed without prior written consent from the host.
  • Accidental damage must be repaired by the renter or compensated at checkout.
  • Deposit deductions must be reviewed and approved by BreezeStay support based on evidence submitted by the host — pre-existing damage cannot be deducted.

12. Host's Right to Inspect

  • The host may enter the property for inspection or repairs only after giving reasonable prior notice.
  • Immediate access is permitted in emergencies (fire, water leakage, safety threat).
  • Unexpected entry without renter consent is a violation of the license terms.

13. Move-In & Move-Out Protocol

  • We recommend renters independently take timestamped photos and videos of the property at move-in and keep them for their own records — this is not currently a platform-enforced requirement, but supports your case if a dispute arises later.
  • At move-out, the property must be returned in the same condition, excluding normal wear and tear.
  • A 30-day advance notice must be filed via the dashboard to initiate termination.

14. Termination & Notice Period

  • Standard terminations require 30 days' advance notice filed through the dashboard.
  • Immediate termination applies for code violations, payment defaults, or safety breaches.

15. Vacating — Unauthorized Holdover

  • The renter must vacate and clear all personal belongings immediately upon license expiry or termination.
  • Unauthorized holdover is subject to daily penalty charges and potential legal action.

16. Dispute Resolution

  • BreezeStay provides mediation tools for renter-host disputes — we do not hold legal arbitration power.
  • Legal disputes remain between the signing parties. The platform may freeze accounts and listings during investigation.

17. Liability Disclaimers

  • BreezeStay is not liable for structural defects, personal injuries, utility failures, or theft within the licensed property.
  • BreezeStay is a marketplace — not a physical property management service.

Agreement Validity

OTP-based or digital consent is a legally valid signature under the IT Act 2000.

Dispute Scope

BreezeStay mediates disputes — legal parties are the host and renter, not the platform.

Policy Updates

Material changes will be notified via email. Continued use of the platform constitutes acceptance.
