Leagal proof of residence if living on Rend

Hi all,

I am living at my current residence for last one and half years. I haven't created any agreement with my landlord so far. And now I want a rent agreement with my landlord describing that I am living in his house since last one and half year and will live here at least for another one year.

Will that be a proof of address for me ? and will that prove that I am living at my current residence for last one and half year.

your kind advice is appriciable.

Thanks and regards,

Anoop Prasad

Yes, that is your residence proof (Rent Agreement), you have to specificed that you are living from "X" date/Year for that.  You can make you (ration card), Voter card, Passport etc for you residence proof.

What is the purpose for the residence certificate.

Thanks for the reply,

 

Actually I had applied for the passport but police verification was negetive because I had no proof that I was living at my current residence for last one and half years.

That's why  I am looking for a document which can proof that I am living here fof more than one year.

According to the passport rules the following proofs shall be acceptable for proof of address:

Applicant’s ration card, certificate from Employer of reputed companies on letter head, water /telephone /electricity bill/statement of running bank account/Income Tax Assessment Order /Election Commission ID card, Gas connection Bill, Spouse’s passport copy, parent’s passport copy in case of minors. (NOTE: If any applicant submits only ration card as proof of address, it should be accompanied by one more proof of address out of the above categories). 
 
From your reply it is assumed that you don't have the above proofs, however a rental agreement is not a valid proof as per the above list.

Thank you once again.

I have got my MTNL Telephone Bill of December 2009.

Will that serve the purpose?
