The government has notified the Goa (Tenant Verification) Act, 2024, which will be implemented from December 1. Under this, landlords who do not provide information about tenants to the government will be fined up to ₹ 10,000.

According to information received from sources, this Act will come into effect from December 1 and it will be mandatory for the landlords to submit the complete details of their tenants to the concerned authorities on time.

Goa Police has intensified the tenant verification drive in the state to ensure strict security
. This is because Goa is a popular destination for domestic and international tourists and security threats are high here. The purpose of this act is to strengthen security by collecting information of tenants and other residents across the state.

As per the law, police officers (head constable or above) are given the power to check the records of the landlord at any time.

Provision of penalty

Under the Act, if a landlord does not provide the information of tenants to the concerned authorities in the prescribed time and format, it will be considered an offence. Up to ₹10,000 will have to be paid as penalty. The Act also states that the penalty will have to be deposited before the Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM).

Landlords must get these things done.

According to the law, landlords must thoroughly check the identity of the tenants before giving them a place. For this, they must check the voter ID, driving license, Aadhaar card, passport or other photo identity card from the tenant. The list of these documents can be updated from time to time in the government notification. This step of the Goa government has been taken with the aim of strengthening the security system of the state and preventing any potential crime or threats.

What do the figures say?

So far, documents of about 2 lakh people have been verified in the state. This process will help in curbing illegal activities and irregularities in the state.

After the implementation of this law, there will be greater transparency and accountability regarding agreements between landlords and tenants in Goa.
