Rent agreement copy for HRA?

[Tomar]

Is it necessary to produce rent agreement copy with rent receipts on monthly basis to claim HRA from Employer?
Can we show rent to paid to mother/father and produce rent receipts to employer to claim HRA exemption? and parent showing income by rent in their IT return.
