The government is mulling over a law to penalise house owners who don't undertake tenant verification, Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar declared on Thursday.
"Presently, the authorities take suo motu cognizance of this procedural lapse. However, legal alternative is also being thought of to penalise who don't fill tenant verification forms while renting out spaces," Chief Minister Parrikar stated.
Though the police have been making awareness in general public to fill up tenant verification form or C Form whenever the premises are given on rental basis, several house owners fail to do so. It was informed that the total number of tenant verification form filled up till November 30 this year stands at 55,309.
These forms are then sent to the concerned police station for verification of character and antecedents of the individual.
"A total of 1,029 reports have been sent to the sub-divisional magistrate for violation of order issued by the district magistrate under Section 144 CrPC," Parrikar stated in his reply to a
calling attention motion moved by Poriem MLA Pratapsing Rane.
