When incorporating a new company, you can draft a rent agreement where the tenant is an LLP represented by a partner. This is legally valid even if the LLP is intended to be a shareholder in the new company. The LLP can enter into such contracts under Indian law, provided it's executed by an authorised partner.

Yes, it is entirely possible and legally valid to draft a rent agreement between an LLP (Limited Liability Partnership), represented by one of its partners, and a landlord, even if the LLP is proposed to be a shareholder of the new company. The LLP can act as a tenant as long as the agreement is executed by an authorized partner on its behalf, and the LLP has the legal capacity to enter into contracts, which it does under Indian law.
