The Andhra Pradesh Buildings (Lease, Rent and Eviction) Control (Amendment) Act, 1997
The Andhra Pradesh Buildings (Lease, Rent and Eviction) Control (Amendment) Act, 2005, modifies the existing 1960 rent control framework to provide specific categories of landlords with a streamlined process to recover immediate possession of their premises for personal use. It grants this right to retired armed forces personnel, government employees, widows, handicapped individuals, and senior citizens aged 65 or older. Additionally, the Act updates the scope of rent control by exempting government buildings, newly constructed or substantially renovated buildings for a 15-year period, and properties with high monthly rents. This legislation balances tenant security with the property rights of specific vulnerable or service-oriented owners.
