https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=459623 Section 11(1) of the Tamil Nadu Buildings (Lease and Rent Control) Act, 1960 requires a tenant facing eviction for rent default to deposit arrears and continue current rent during proceedings, and Section 11(4) grants relief only on proof of sufficient cause for non-compliance. The text explains that "sufficient cause" demands bona fide, reasonable conduct and no negligence or inaction. On the stated facts, the tenant did not deposit rent within time, did not seek relief on a genuine inability to comply, denied the landlord-tenant relationship, and failed to maintain monthly deposits. The later deposit before the appellate authority was said to satisfy only the appeal-hearing requirement and not to establish sufficient cause. The note states that eviction for default was therefore sustainable. en-us Thu, 29 Jul 1999 00:00:00 +0530 Fri, 20 Dec 2024 11:02:50 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=459623 Section 11(1) of the Tamil Nadu Buildings (Lease and Rent Control) Act, 1960 requires a tenant facing eviction for rent default to deposit arrears and continue current rent during proceedings, and Section 11(4) grants relief only on proof of sufficient cause for non-compliance.
