Civil20087 sections

This Act regulates tenancy and the employment of domestic or professional workers in Sikkim by mandating strict verification processes. It applies to house owners providing accommodation and employers hiring unskilled or skilled help outside government service. The legislation requires these parties to report arrangements within thirty days of enactment and to submit applicants for police or background checks. While exemptions exist for government institutions and those holding specific identity documents, the law aims to enhance security and public order by ensuring that landlords and employers carefully vet the backgrounds of tenants, their dependents, and their domestic or professional staff.
