Just a decade or two ago, concept of tenant screening was absolutely unknown in Pakistan. Most of the properties were given on rent to people merely on their appearance and usually it worked out well. Deals were sealed just through a hand shake and signing of a simple tenancy agreement. Today, however, things have totally changed and a hand shake no longer has any credibility. Elements that have crept into the society are not only dangerous for the landlord but could be extremely lethal for the neighborhood and society on the whole. There are reported cases where properties have been hired on rent by innocent looking ordinary people but were used for storing explosives, harboring terrorists, illegal and immoral activities etc. Due to Pakistan’s porous border in the west, problem of infiltration of illegal migrants remains unsolved. These people along with other such elements look for properties in posh areas where they can simply amalgamate into the society and become untraceable.
