As a party to a rent or lease agreement, the tenant also deserves an original copy of the Agreement jointly executed by the landlord and tenant on the same subject. Different certificate numbers of e-stamp paper do not have any effect or role to play in the matter.

A. Dear Client,
Painting of rooms and other civil work is considered as normal wear and tear arising out of the age of the building and standard of use and expenses towards the said purpose is obligatory on the part owner even you mentioned in your rent agreement. Tenants are now well-guarded under relevant law. Any terms of the rent agreement if appear unfair and biased, litigation over the issue may cost you more apart from other consequences. So, look before you leap.
