About this document

You have a house not occupied by you or your family for various reasons including posting abroad or in a different city. You decide not to rent the house to a tenant but wish the same to be taken care of and maintained by a Caretaker – professional or otherwise. The terms and conditions that we have designed for entering into an agreement with a Caretaker may help you to get the Caretaker perform the necessary role and not deviate from the agreed terms. Get the Caretaker to sign this agreement to firm up a secure arrangement. The details of execution have also been provided in the explanatory notes that accompany the document. The document, as a matter of fact has been designed to protect the interests of both the parties – the owner and the Caretaker.
