Over a year since the Union Housing and Urban Affairs Ministry circulated the Model Tenancy Act (MTA), four States had revised their tenancy laws to be in line with the MTA, the Ministry said in a reply to the Rajya Sabha on Monday.
In response to a question by BJP MP Ashok Bajpai, Minister of State for Housing and Urban Affairs Kaushal Kishore said in a written reply: “As per information available with MoHUA, the States of Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh and Assam have revised Tenancy Acts on the lines of MTA (sic).”
The reply stated that the MTA aimed to balance the rights of tenants and landlords and to “create an accountable and transparent ecosystem for renting of premises in a disciplined and efficient manner”.
