Document language

This is the document as far as you have reached, not the whole of it yet — the rest appears as you answer more questions. It is rewritten every time you change an answer.

A long blank line — __________ — stands wherever an answer has not been given. It is left that visible on purpose, so an unfinished document cannot be mistaken for a finished one.

No answer has been given, so every place a detail belongs is standing blank. The shape of the document is worth reading even now.

TENANT ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE

(Sale of Tenanted Commercial Property)

Date: __________
Place: __________

To

__________
__________

Re: Tenancy of __________, __________

RECITALS

A. __________, __________, of __________ ("the Tenant") is in occupation of __________, __________, in __________ ("the Premises") under the Lease identified in Clause 1 below.

B. __________, __________, of __________ ("the Landlord") is the landlord under the Lease.

D. This Certificate is one of five documents drafted for a sale of tenanted commercial property of this kind in Punjab and in Chandigarh: the Agreement to Sell (Tenanted Commercial Property) itself, between the Landlord and the Buyer; a Tenant Attornment Letter, signed by the Landlord and the Buyer and addressed to the Tenant, redirecting Rent to the Buyer after completion; a Rent Assignment Letter to New Buyer and a Security Deposit Transfer Letter, both between the Landlord and the Buyer, dealing with Rent and the security deposit respectively as between themselves; and this Certificate, the only one of the five that the Tenant itself signs. This Certificate does not restate, and is not a substitute for, any of the other four.

E. The Buyer will rely on the certifications in this Certificate in deciding whether, and on what terms, to complete the purchase of the Premises. The Tenant gives this Certificate for that purpose, knowing that it will be relied on.

NOW THE TENANT CERTIFIES as follows.

1. THE LEASE

2. THE LEASE IS THE WHOLE AGREEMENT

3. RENT

4. SECURITY DEPOSIT

5. THE LANDLORD'S PERFORMANCE

6. THE TENANT'S OWN POSITION

7. THE LANDLORD'S INTEREST IN THE PREMISES

8. THE DATE OF THESE CERTIFICATIONS

8.2 If completion of the Buyer's purchase of the Premises takes place after the Certification Date, the Landlord or the Buyer may ask the Tenant to confirm these certifications again, or to give a further certificate, true as at the date of completion. This Certificate does not itself do that, and the Tenant is not required to re-sign it merely because time has passed, unless the Landlord or the Buyer asks for that confirmation.

9. RELIANCE AND ESTOPPEL

9.1 The Tenant gives this Certificate knowing that the Buyer will rely on it in deciding to complete the purchase of the Premises and in agreeing the price and terms of that purchase, and the Tenant intends the Buyer to act on it.

9.2 Having certified the facts in Clauses 1 to 7 above, and knowing that the Buyer will act on them, the Tenant shall not, in any suit or proceeding between the Tenant and the Buyer, or between the Tenant and any person claiming through the Buyer, be permitted to deny the truth of anything certified in this Certificate as at the Certification Date. This is the estoppel by representation provided for in Section 121 of the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023, which carries forward, in the same words, Section 115 of the Indian Evidence Act, 1872.

9.3 The estoppel in Clause 9.2 is separate from, and does not depend on, the estoppel that already binds the Tenant under Section 122 of that Act — that a tenant, having been let into possession of a property by its landlord, cannot deny that landlord's title. This Certificate is not about the Landlord's title; it is about the facts the Tenant has certified concerning the Lease.

10. WHAT THIS CERTIFICATE DOES NOT DO

10.1 This Certificate does not amend, extend, renew or otherwise vary the Lease, and does not create, transfer, subordinate or otherwise affect any right, title or interest in the Premises, whether the Tenant's own leasehold interest or any other. It is a certificate of fact, not an instrument of transfer.

10.2 This Certificate is not the Tenant Attornment Letter, is not the Rent Assignment Letter to New Buyer, and is not the Security Deposit Transfer Letter referred to in Recital D. It does not redirect Rent, does not assign any right to Rent or to arrears of Rent, and does not itself transfer the security deposit or the Landlord's obligation to account for it — each of those is a separate document between the Landlord and the Buyer, and this Certificate does not do their work.

10.3 This Certificate is not an agreement by the Tenant to subordinate the Lease to any mortgage or charge the Buyer or its lender may create over the Premises, and is not a promise by the Buyer or its lender that the Tenant's possession will not be disturbed. A subordination or a non-disturbance promise of that kind, if the Landlord, the Buyer or its lender wants one, is a separate agreement the Tenant would have to sign separately and is not contained in this Certificate.

11. TAXES

11.1 No consideration is paid or payable by the Buyer to the Tenant, or by the Tenant to the Buyer or the Landlord, under this Certificate, and this Certificate does not itself effect any supply for the purposes of the Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017. Goods and services tax and tax deduction at source on Rent, and on the security deposit, continue to be governed by the Lease and by the Rent Assignment Letter to New Buyer and the Security Deposit Transfer Letter referred to in Recital D, and not by this Certificate.

12. NOTICES

12.1 A notice under this Certificate shall be in writing and delivered by hand against acknowledgement, or sent by registered post, reputed courier or email, to the Tenant at __________, to the Landlord at __________, and to the Buyer at __________, or such other address any of them notifies in writing.

Reading costs nothing. Keeping a copy needs an account.

The opening of the draft is on this page as you answer it. Once every answer is in, the button below opens the whole draft, watermarked — still without an account. Printing it, or keeping a clean copy, is where an account is asked for. That is the whole arrangement.

A kept copy has to belong to somebody, and that is the reason for the account. There is nothing further to it.
