The Andhra Pradesh Buildings (Lease, Rent and Eviction) Control (Amendment) Act, 2005
The Andhra Pradesh Buildings (Lease, Rent and Eviction) Control (Amendment) Act, 2005, serves as a targeted update to the existing 1960 rent control framework. Its primary objective is to provide a streamlined legal pathway for specific categories of landlords—including retired armed forces personnel, government employees, widows, handicapped individuals, and senior citizens—to regain immediate possession of their properties for personal use. Additionally, the Act updates the criteria for building exemptions, excluding government properties, newly constructed or substantially renovated buildings for fifteen years, and high-rent premises from rent control regulations. This ensures a balance between tenant protection and the property rights of vulnerable owners.
