The Tamil Nadu Cultivating Tenants (Special Provisions) Amendment Act, 1985

Civil19854 sections

This act regulates situations where landlords evict tenants in Tamil Nadu for failing to pay past rent. It applies specifically to cultivating tenants who have been evicted or are facing court orders. The goal is to extend the time allowed for tenants to pay outstanding arrears and allow those recently removed from their land to petition for their jobs back. By modifying rent recovery deadlines, the law aims to protect tenant livelihoods and ensure they retain occupancy rights rather than simply losing their homes.
