The Mumbai Police has said that owners or landlords should submit furnished documents of their tenants (foreigners or Indians), before renting out the property to them. The police issued an order to this effect, on April 10, 2017, under Section 144 of the CRPC-1973.
The move comes in the wake of reports that ‘some anti-social elements or terrorists may seek hideout in the residential areas of the megapolis’. The order also stated that no landlord, owner or a private person of any house or property, shall let, sub-let or rent out the property to a person, before furnishing his or her particulars to the senior police inspector concerned.
