Hardly a fortnight after the murder of a youngster in an apartment at Edachira drew attention to the slack security arrangements in apartment complexes in the area, the Infopark police have issued strict guidelines to residents’ associations.
Associations have been asked to maintain a comprehensive data of owners or tenants occupying apartments. Owners are required to collect the full address and police clearance certificates of tenants and ensure their veracity at the time of renting out apartments.
Only tenants named in the rent agreement should be allowed to stay. Security guards should be deployed to restrict visiting time and regulate access, besides verifying the purpose of visit at odd times and discourage such instances, if needed.
