In Anjuna, police checks for tenant verification are a mandatory process for landlords in Arpora and its jurisdiction. The Anjuna Police conducted these checks to ensure the safety and security of the community by verifying tenant information and background under the duty of PSI Swapnil Naik.
Landlords are required to submit tenant information to the Anjuna Police Station for verification. The PSI also stressed the renewal of tenant verification forms. The officer is to take identification cards from room visitors even if they stay for a day. This involves providing details like the tenant's name, address, and other essential information, along with supporting documents. The PSI directed landlords to take group photos of rented families to submit to the police station.
The verification process helps to ensure that tenants are who they say they are, have a legitimate address, and do not have any criminal records or past involvement in any illegal activities. Failure to submit tenant information may result in penalties, such as fines, for the landlord.
Tenant verification helps to deter crime, protect property owners from potential liabilities, and create a safer environment for everyone in the community. This is an essential exercise, especially in the wake of the terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir.
