The Allotment of Houses under Control of the Estate Department Act, 2016

Civil201610 sections

This Act regulates the allocation, rent, and eviction of government-owned housing in Uttar Pradesh. It applies to state employees, judicial officers, journalists, trusts, societies, political parties, and appointed administrative heads. By categorizing applicants into strict eligibility tiers, the law matches individuals with specific house categories according to their official rank or status. This legislation matters because it establishes a transparent, legal framework for public resources, setting fixed limits on tenancy periods aligned with professional tenures. It prevents the exploitation of state property by establishing clear procedures to evict unauthorized occupants once their official roles or permitted terms expire.
