Background checks of all tenants is important whether the tenant is not involved in any illegal activities and so on. Hence, we are spreading awareness as well about submitting tenancy agreements for all tenants in Kondhwa. There shouldn’t be a single tenant in Kondhwa who is unknown to the Kondhwa police.”
