Balochistan Makes Tenant Registration Mandatory, Warns of Strict Action for Violations

Quetta (News Desk) — The Balochistan government has made tenant registration mandatory across the province as part of efforts to improve law and order, officials announced.
Adviser to the provincial government on home affairs, Babar Yousafzai, stated that landlords will no longer be allowed to rent out properties to individuals without verifying their national identity cards.
Under the Balochistan Restriction of Rented Buildings (Security) Act, all property owners are required to check tenants’ identification documents and register their complete details with the nearest police station.
The official further added that any guest staying for more than 24 hours must also be reported in advance to the relevant police station. Administrators of hostels, hotels, and other rental accommodations have also been directed to maintain proper records to help identify any suspicious activities.
Authorities have warned that violations of these regulations could result in strict legal action, including registration of cases, arrests, and sealing of properties.
The government has urged citizens to cooperate with the new measures to help ensure safety and security across the province.
