Abstract

This Act, consisting of 47 sections divided into eight Chapters and three Schedules, provides for the tenancy of lands within the State of Andhra Pradesh. It specifies that no person shall let or take on rent any premises except by an agreement in writing, signed by the landlord and tenant jointly, in the form specified in the First Schedule. Such agreement shall be registered or notarized with the notary public. All tenancies shall be for a period as agreed between the landlord and the tenant and as specified in the tenancy agreement. The tenant may approach the landlord for renewal or extension of the tenancy. If a tenancy for a fixed term ends and has not been renewed, the tenant shall vacate the premises forthwith and put in possession the landlord in such premises. The tenancy shall cease immediately after the death of the tenant save as provided in sub-section (2). In the event of the death of a tenant, the right of tenancy of residential and non-residential premises shall devolve for the remaining period of tenancy to his successors in following order, if the successor had been ordinarily living or working in the premises with the deceased tenant upto his death.
