Documents Needed to Rent a House in Lahore

Having your documents ready speeds up the process and shows the landlord you're a serious tenant.

Documents tenants usually provide

• Copies of CNIC for the main tenant (and often for adult family members)
• Recent passport-size photographs
• Contact details and a reference, such as an employer or previous landlord
• For companies renting offices: company registration documents and an authorisation letter

Documents to ask the landlord for

• Copy of the owner's CNIC
• Proof of ownership (for example, the title or allotment document) or written authority if an agent or relative is renting on the owner's behalf
• Recent paid utility bills
• Any society permission or NOC required for tenants

After signing

• Signed tenancy agreement on stamp paper (see our free rent agreement format)
• Receipts for the deposit, advance and rent
• Police tenant registration confirmation
