A.Dear client,
Currently, there is no clear law requiring tenant verification. IPC's Section 188, which addresses disobedience to an order that has been legally issued by a public worker, states that if any disobedience of an order issued by public authority is likely to cause harm, the guilty individual may be punished.You might be held accountable for breaking this law if your tenant did.
It would be preferable if you terminated your leasing agreement with them or began a new one.

A.Hi client,

The information you are providing is a bit confusing. If the theft has not been done to you specifically then you should not be concerned.
There is no strict law for tenant verification as of now. But under the sec 188,IPC which deals with disobedience to order duly promulgated by a public servant, says that the guilty party may be punished, if any disobedience of an order made by public authorities is likely to produce harm.For this law you can be held liable as an offence is committed by your tenant.
It is better that you get rid of them or start a fresh rental agreement.
