SECURITY IMPERATIVES: HIRING OUT FLATS

Ref. No. DIN/53/2009 19 Sep 2010


SECURITY IMPERATIVES: HIRING OUT FLATS

It has time again been emphasized that flat owners implicitly adhere to the norms laid down for hiring out their respective premises to tenants. The frequently repeated Notices in this regard must be seen in the light of the Management Committee’s concern for the security of all residents, including the tenants. However, the indifferent approach of flat owners towards this important aspect has continued to create problems for the MC and compromise of all residents.

In the incident, the CBI raided the Society premises and arrested a tenant on 18th Sep 2010 along with two of his associates who were staying in the rented flat. Upon discreet investigation, it was learned that the flat in question was hired out in Jun 2009 for a period of eleven months, without the mandatory Police verification. The Rent Agreement was not renewed upon expiry of the term of eleven months in May 2010. The tenant in question had been carried out. Incidentally, the concerned tenant was wanted by the Police for quite some time for offences relating to theft of vehicles.

In view of the foregoing, it is requested that:-

(a) Flat owners renting out their flats insist on Police verification of their prospective tenants prior to renting out the flat(s). Failure to do this and consequently any adverse fallout shall be the sole responsibility of the flat owners.

(b) The Society will not permit any prospective tenants to move in without the mandatory Police verification.

(c ) In the instance cited above, it was found that an attempt had been made by someone to change the number plate of his car, probably with an ulterior motive. It is once again reiterated that residents who have not pasted the security sticker on their vehicle to do so forthwith.

AMRIT KAUR CASE DISMISSED BY COURT

Case No. 61/2010 filed by Smt Amrit Kaur in Dwarka Court was dismissed by the Hon'ble Court on 7th Sep 2010. Exact grounds will be published once the actual Court order is received.

The Management Committee is grateful to Shri NN Srivastava for the solid home work on the case. It was his 'eye for details' and thorough scrutiny of the relevant documents connected with the case that produced vital inputs for preparing the Society's stand before the Court.

IMPORTANT NOTICES: SEPTEMBER 2010

Ref. No. DIN/53/2009 17 Sep 2010

WATER SUPPLY


Despite the management Committee’s best efforts to provide the residents with uninterrupted supply of satisfactory quality of water, we have been unable to do so as the DDA only provides one to two hours of water supply per day.

As a consequence, the Society has had to resort to getting tankers from the DDA and private parties as well as pumping water from the bore wells in an attempt to meet the residents’ demand for 24 hours supply of water. Even this has been an exercise in futility.

Residents may please note that the underground water is extremely brackish and liable to cause severe health problems like skin rashes and hair loss.

The only solution to meet our requirement of clean water relatively free contamination is to get more water from private parties (DDA only supplies one water tanker per day)who charge Rs. 700/- to Rs. 900/- per tanker. The Society’s daily requirement is estimated to be six to eight tankers amounting to Rs. 600/- to Rs. 800/- per flat per month.

In order to enable the Management Committee to proceed in the matter, any resident who has objections to payment as given above, may kindly intimate his / her objections to the undersigned in writing.

Non receipt of objections will be considered as agreement to the above proposal for procurement of water on payment from the DDA and private parties and the cost accordingly charged to residents.
