Law seeks to provide mechanism for settling disputes between landlords and tenants
The 126-member Assam Assembly on August 13 promulgated a tenancy Act aimed at establishing a rent authority to regulate market-driven renting of premises while protecting the interests of both the landlord and the tenant. Housing and Urban Development Minister Ashok Singhal said Assam became India’s first State to introduce the model tenancy Act. The Assembly had on August 9 introduced the Assam Tenancy Bill, 2021, to replace the Assam Urban Areas Rent Control Act of 1972. The tabling of the Bill followed an August 6 Cabinet decision to do away with a rule for people to seek the government’s permission for the sale and purchase of flats in Assam.
