Tamil Nadu Rent Act 2017 | Landlord’s Reconstruction Intent Alone Suffices for Eviction; Age/Condition of Premises Irrelevant: Madras HC
Madras High Court holds that under Section 10(3)(c) of the Tamil Nadu Rent Act 2017, a landlord’s bona fide intent to reconstruct a building overrides tenant protections, regardless of the building’s age or condition. The ruling dismisses tenant pleas for expert inspection, reinforcing statutory interpretation favoring landlord rights in eviction proceedings.
