Abstract

This Act makes provision with respect to security of tenure. It provides for the protection of tenants by defining their rights and by allowing statutory tenants to register with the Registrar of Tenants' Rights appointed under this Act. The Registrar may require the Government to compulsory acquire premises under the Lands Acquisition Act for purposes of protection of rights of an applicant for registration. The Registrar may apply to the Registrar General for the subdivision of any land where the Minister certifies that the subdivision is desirable to give effect to this Act. A Statutory Tenant or the Statutory Landlord may apply in writing to the Registrar for adjudication of registered premises.
