in other countries, tenant may be requested to pay property tax as part of the Tenancy Agreement.
For eg, indonesia.. I believe ur tenant is foreigner, hence he/she may have posed the question to you for clarification..

standard clauses are for owners to pay tax.

i remember now
stamp duty for the TA tenancy agreement ...which is prepared by landlord ..
so by right landlord would pay
but when tenant agent prepares the LOI , letter of intent ..it seems that it is indicated in the LOI that tenant would pay the stamp duty
i guess if it is ommitted in the LOI.. then landlord would have to pay
As TA protects the tenant more, it should be borne by them? If they don't stamp it means that they are illegally staying in the house and land Lord can play punks and chase them out?
Oops... yes... sorry I should have been clearer.Originally Posted by radha08
It has been like this all along......
What is Stamp Duty?
Stamp Duty is a tax on documents relating to immovable properties, stocks or shares. Examples of such documents are :
1) Lease / Tenancy AgreementsThese are documents that are prepared and signed when you rent a property. Stamp Duty is calculated on the actual rent or market rent whichever is higher. The person who leases or rents the property (lessee or tenant) is responsible for paying Stamp Duty.
