government extended the registration deadline till September 22 under the
Tenancy Act.
The Tamil Nadu Regulations of Rights and Responsibilities of
Landlords and Tenants Act, 2017 came into force on 22 February 2019 due to the
notified rules of the government.

registrations under the Tenancy Act. In the inadequacy of registration under
the Tenancy Act, tenants and owners will not have a legal forum to settle a
dispute arising out of leased properties.

related to disputes between occupants and landlords can be resolved only
through the rent authorities established in each district.
