Pune Property Owners Face Action Without Registered Rental Agreements

Pune Property Owners Face Action Without Registered Rental Agreements
Pune property owners, landlords, PG owners, alert! Do this or face police action; tenants must pay attention, too · livemint.com

Pune landlords and PG owners must officially register agreements with their tenants.

A notarised agreement alone is not enough during the current enforcement drive.

Police have taken action against 175 landlords and PG operators in two weeks.

The rule is meant to help authorities know who is living in rented properties.

When an agreement is registered online, tenant information is automatically sent to the police.

This happens through a system called CCTNS.

Owners who do not register agreements or provide tenant details may face police action.

Tenants should check that their landlords have completed the registration.
