Section 2

The purpose of the Tamil Nadu Buildings (Lease and Rent Control) Act, 1960 Tamil Nadu Act 18 of 1960 was to regulate the rent as well as give powers to the Government to take certain properties on rent at fair rent even against the wish of the property owner if it was desirable in the interest of the State or required by the Government. These provisions made long back when supply of rental accommodation was limited, real estate business had not evolved and properties were vested in the hands of very few people.
