The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has reached out to housing societies across the city, urging their collaboration in monitoring rental properties. This initiative aims to enhance oversight and regulatory compliance in the rental housing sector amidst increasing concerns over unauthorised tenancies and property misuse.

PMC officials have highlighted the significance of community participation in identifying and reporting violations related to rental properties. By engaging housing societies as stakeholders in the monitoring process, PMC seeks to strengthen its enforcement capabilities and ensure adherence to municipal regulations.

The collaborative effort with housing societies is expected to streamline information sharing and prompt action against illegal activities associated with rental accommodations. PMC has emphasised the role of residents and managing committees in maintaining neighbourhood security and upholding civic standards.

According to PMC authorities, the proliferation of unauthorised tenancies has been a persistent challenge, necessitating proactive measures to safeguard community interests and property values. The involvement of housing societies is seen as pivotal in promoting responsible property management practices and fostering a compliant rental housing environment.

PMC's appeal underscores its commitment to leveraging community partnerships for effective governance and urban management. By fostering closer cooperation with housing societies, PMC aims to create a more transparent and accountable rental housing market in Pune, benefitting both landlords and tenants alike.
