1. This Civil Revision Petition has been filed challenging the order of eviction passed by the learned Rent Court.

2. The respondent/landlord filed the petition for eviction under Tamil Nadu Regulation of Rights and Responsibilities of Landlords and Tenants Act (TNRRRLT Act). The respondent/landlord sought for eviction on the ground of failure to enter into a written agreement as required under the Act [Section 21(2)(a)] and also default in payment of rent [Section 21(2)(b)]. The respondent/landlord in his petition averred that the demised premises was let out to the Revision Petitioner in the year 2011 for a monthly rent of Rs.10,000/- and he failed to pay the rent from July 2018. It was also specifically averred by the respondent/landlord that both the petitioner and the respondent had failed to enter into a written tenancy agreement as mandated by Section 4(2) of TNRRRLT Act and hence sought for eviction.
