“In view of yesterday’s kidnapping and sexual assault case, all are requested again to get tenant verification done. Here 3 criminal-minded persons from Rafiabad, Sopore were staying on rent in Malbagh area and the landlord didn’t do any tenant verification. He will also face legal action,” police tweeted.

Earlier also, after the murder of an 85-year old woman by a non-local domestic help in Behrar Lal Bazar some months back, police had requested landlords to get the tenants’ verification done.

A senior police officer said that in order to curb the criminals, it is the responsibility of the landlords to furnish all the details about the occupants.

“People often ignore the importance of tenant verification which could prove dangerous for the property owners and the general public,” he said.
