Landlords are required to submit tenant verification forms, which are sent to the tenant?s native police station for cross-checking. If any adverse information is received, it is reported back to the local police station. This process helps identify potential risks early.
Authorities have emphasized the importance of landlords completing these forms for the security of their properties and the broader community. Beat staff assist daily to ensure forms are filled accurately.
Surprise inspections are also being carried out across police jurisdictions to identify tenants who have not completed verification, ensuring compliance across Goa. Although no crimes have been directly linked to these drives, the police believe the documentation helps prevent potential issues and strengthens public safety.
The police are also working to move the verification process online, making it easier for landlords and tenants to complete the formalities. The online system aims to reduce time and administrative effort, improving efficiency and compliance.
