The owner’s written consent to your business being registered at their property. Almost every incorporation needs one, and it is rejected more often than any other document in the set.

The property owner’s statement that they know a business is being registered there and do not object.
A no objection certificate is required when somebody wants to register a property they do not own as their official business address. It is taken from the owner of the property and should state that the owner is aware of the business being carried on there and has no objection to it.
It is signed by the owner of the property, which is what prevents a dispute later. It has to name the business and the address for which it is issued, exactly as they will appear in the registration.
It is rarely filed alone. A registrar generally wants three things together: a recent utility bill for the premises, proof that the person signing owns them, and this certificate. An NOC that arrives without the other two is usually the reason a registered-office filing comes back.
An electricity, gas, telephone or water bill for the premises, in the owner’s name, and recent, because an old bill is a common reason for a rejection.
A sale deed, a property tax receipt or equivalent. The NOC only works if the person signing it is the person who can consent.
The business name and the address on the certificate have to match the incorporation documents exactly. A different spelling of the same road is enough to have the filing returned.

The NOC and the rent agreement do different jobs. The NOC is the owner’s consent to the registration; the rent agreement is your right to occupy the premises.
Where you are paying rent, you need both. Where a family member is letting you use an address free of charge, the NOC and the supporting documents are usually the whole of it.
Yes, and most new companies do. If you own the property you sign the NOC yourself; if a parent or a spouse owns it, they sign it.
Every owner should sign. A certificate signed by one of two joint owners is a consent that the other has not given, which is exactly the dispute the document exists to prevent.
