Advisory for property owners and tenants:

Earlier, Mumbai Police had issued an advisory for property owners in the city and shared the details of guidelines for renting out properties.

The police had said, that due to the situation prevailing in the areas under the control of the Commissioner of Police, Mumbai, it is apprehended that subversive/anti-social elements may seek hideouts in the residential areas and there is every likelihood of breach of peace and disturbance of public tranquillity with grave danger to human life and injury to private/ public property.

The police said that on that account some check must be put on landlords/tenants so that terrorist/anti-social elements in the guise of tenants may not cause subversive activities, riots, affray etc: and that immediate action is necessary for the prevention of the same.

The police had earlier said that it is being hereby ordered that each landlord/owner/person dealing in property business of any house/property which falls under the jurisdiction of Mumbai Police Commissioner who has let/sub-let/rent out any accommodation to any person, shall immediately furnish the particulars of the said tenant/tenants online on the citizen portal on www.mumbaipolice.gov.in.
