On behalf of the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Chief Minister launched a new website www.tenancy.tn.gov.in with which people can effectively utilise the Tamilnadu Regulation of Rights and Responsibilities of Landlord and Tenants Act, 2017, which came into force today.
The new legislation aims to regulate the tenancy of buildings as per the terms and conditions of the tenancy agreement executed by landlords and tenants and also safeguard the interest of landlords and tenants in case of disputes.
As per the provisions of this law, all tenancy agreements should be written agreements and compulsorily registered with the Rent Authority. The registration of the tenancy agreement with the Rent Authority is independent of the registration requirement of the tenancy agreement under the Registration Act, 1908.
Since most transactions are done through the tenancy registration portal with minimum interface of the Rent Authority, the tenancy registration portal eases the process of registration for the general public.
Palaniswami also inaugurated the completed road works, four river bridges and railway over-bridge in the districts of Tirunelveli, Virudhunagar, Cuddalore, Tiruvarur and Tiruvallur that cost Rs 3,32,45,00,000 by the Department of Highways and Minor Ports.
