Understanding Eviction & Landlord-Tenant Laws in India
Eviction of tenants is primarily governed by the Rent Control Acts or Tenancy Acts enacted by individual states. Additionally, the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, and specific provisions of the Civil Procedure Code also apply to eviction matters. In Telangana, the Telangana Rent Control Act, 2022 and the Transfer of Property Act govern landlord-tenant relationships.
