The main aim and purpose of the Tamil Nadu Regulation of Rights and Responsibilities of Landlords and Tenants Act, 2017 as stated in the preamble is to regulate the rent, to balance the Rights and Responsibilities of Landlord and Tenants, and to provide fast adjudication process for resolution of disputes, between the landlord and tenant. Before this enactment, we have followed the Tamil Nadu Buildings (Lease and Rent Control) Act, 1960. Now the authors want to analyse the reason for enactment of Tamil Nadu Regulation of Rights and Responsibilities of Landlords and Tenants Act, 2017, and whether this Act had compensated or filled the place of the old repealed Act of Tamil Nadu Buildings (Lease and Rent Control) Act, 1960 apart from this, the authors also want to eagerly research the areas of lacunaes in the present Act of Tamil Nadu Regulation of Rights and Responsibilities of Landlords and Tenants Act, 2017 and to analyse whether it effectively serves as a piece of social Legislation. The authors frame the following areas of concern or issues for consideration.  Whether the Act, is a self-contained one which addresses the grievances of both the parties?  If we need modifications, what are they?  What are the consequences which the practicing advocates face as a result of the enactment of this Act? Based on the above issues the authors are going to the research the Tamil Nadu Regulation of Rights and Responsibilities of Landlords and Tenants Act, 2017 .
