Nowadays it has become necessary to get the police verification of the tenant done in every small and big city. This is in the interest of both the landlord and the tenant. Generally one has to go to the police station for verification but now in many cities the police department is providing this facility online as well.
Be it house, land or shop, any property, before giving it on rent, it is very important and mandatory to get the agreement and verification done with the tenant. Since the cases of illegal possession of property have increased rapidly in the last few years, the utility of these legal documents has increased.
Before giving your property on rent, it is necessary to get the documents of the tenant verified. This ensures that the people you have chosen to rent your house or shop do not have any criminal record. Tenant verification is done by the local police authority.
Police verification of the tenant can be done both online and offline. However, in both the cases, the tenant verification form has to be filled and all the required documents have to be submitted.
First of all go to the police department online portal and download the tenant verification form. Also give your basic information along with the details of the tenants in the form. These details include name, mobile number, email address, current address etc. In many states the police department gives this facility.
After filling the verification form, submit it online on the website itself. However, some police department authority’s site does not allow online submission of the form so submit the form by visiting the local police station.
Local police departments in some cities across the country have launched mobile apps for tenant verification and other services, through which forms can be filled and submitted easily. At the same time, along with the verification form, the identity certificate, rent agreement and photo etc. of the tenant and the landlord have to be submitted. By getting the tenant verified, his criminal record is known. This helps the landlord to avoid any kind of fraud or loss.
