Mrs Meenakshi vs Udhuman — 3/2024

Case Summary: Meenakshi v. Udhuman (3/2024) Court Decision: The District Munsif cum Judicial Magistrate, Pallavaram allowed the eviction petition under Section 21(2)(a) of the Tamil Nadu Regulation of Rights and Responsibilities of Landlords and Tenants (TNRRLTA) Act, 2017. Key Reasoning: The tenant occupied the shop premises since 1976 under an oral agreement. After the TNRRLTA 2017 came into effect (with a 575-day compliance period ending February 2019), both parties were statutorily mandated to execute a written rental agreement. The tenant failed to enter into any written agreement despite legal notices, making him liable for eviction under the Act's mandatory registration requirement. Order: Tenant must vacate and handover vacant possession within one month from June 1, 2026, and pay litigation costs to the landlord.
