When you need it

You're taking one bed in a shared room, not a room or home, so the document must make that occupation unmistakable — the bed, capacity, locker, charges, deposit, quiet hours, reallocation rights. It must not read as exclusive possession, consistent with a s.52 Easements Act, 1882 licence, not a lease.

The owner/operator carries the police-verification duty; ending it runs on licence terms, not TPA s.106.

If the property is anywhere else in India, none of this is yours.
