The TN government on February 22, 2019, introduced the new rules under the Tamil Nadu Regulation of Rights and Responsibilities of Landlords and Tenants Act, 2017, the Tamil Nadu Government has also launched an exclusive portal (www.tenancy.tn.gov.in) to create the registration of rent/lease agreements.
The Tamil Nadu Regulations of Rights and Responsibilities of Landlords and Tenants Act 2017 has been enacted on the lines of model Tenancy Act indicated by the Government of India. The Act repeals the Tamil Nadu Buildings ( Lease and Rent Control) Act, 1960. The new legislation aims to regulate the tenancy of buildings as per the terms and conditions of the tenancy agreement executed by the landlords and the tenants and also to safeguard the interest of the landlords and the tenants in case of disputes. As per the provisions of this law, all tenancy agreements should be written agreements and shall be compulsorily registered with the Rent Authority. The registration of the tenancy agreement with the rent authority is independent of the registration requirement of the tenancy agreement under the Registration Act, 1908. Since most of the transactions are done through the tenancy registration portal with the minimum interface of the Rent Authority.

Hi when the rent & advance is high, where can I compliant?weather tn Gov have any guide line are rules thanks
Rules really help the property owner and tenant
Registration details of tenant identity is difficult because they don’t have adhaar or pass port ,
Moreover some case there is refusal of rent agreement
how we can register and use this. There is great difficulties when tenant not cooperating with owner. The intention of tenancy law will not help at all in such cases.
Whether Morthagee of the property shall enter rental agreement with the tenants of Mortgagor, consent of mortgagor/landlord?
How much is the payment for online Rental Agreement Registeration?
The RDOs are over loaded. If a seperate rent control Authority is formed, the rights of the tenants and landlords will be protected quickly and easily. Because of the cumbersome process of registration and lack of awareness, many affected people have not come forward. Please enquire about the number applications received by RDO under new tenancy rules which proves my contention.
