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.
