Dear Jose,
Your response did appear on Goanet. I read your article "Squatting & Letting." It's a very well-written article; every word therein reflects true happenings in Goa.
Best regards, Domnic

Dear Dominic,
I had sent this up to GoaNet and TGF yesterday. It is possible that it got lost in Sigh!-burr-space.
I am reposting it today
good wishes

when you have the opportunity, please review this article - Squatting & Letting

A piece of advice for future:
As far as renting of a house is concerned, try not to enter into a long term agreement but go for a short term agreement called �INSTRUMENT OF LICENSE� valid for eleven (11) months only. It is suggested that you collect six months rent in advance from the LICENSEE at the time of signing the
agreement. The rent for the remaining five months should be made available by the LICENSEE to the LICENSOR before the end of the sixth month. If he/she is unable to pay the balance at the end of the sixth month, issue him/her a month�s notice and make him/her vacate the house. If the LICENSEE does not agree to these terms, do not allow him/her to occupy your house.
Make sure you do not include the word �tenant� in your agreement. Also, avoid using the word "rent;" you may instead use the words "license fee."

Seeking your opinion and advise, i may not be a subscriber to the goanet but heard a lot about it for the benefit of Goans.A friend of mine has rented a house in Goa he is a goan , and rented it to a non goan , for the last several months the tenant has not been paying and the tenant is threatening
the landlord that he is ready to fight in the court, the agreement says the landlord can eithe give one months notice to the tenant or evict him anytime shoudl he fail to pay, but the tenant is refusing to vacate.
He has even deployed security personnel inside the house. The agreement started in 2003 and ends in 2006 , can the landlord file a criminal complaint in the police station if so under what clause/section? Or is there any other alternate way to get rid of such people who behave as honest
people in the begining but later are a nuisance to goa and goans? My friend is an elderly person and he cannot run to the court as court matters normally take years to pronounce a judgement.
Should he try what the crooks try by hiring some goons and evicting such outsiders ? Please advise????
Thanks in anticipation for all those who will assist.

Dear Dominic,
Thanks for that post.
Your advice makes very good sense. Cecil Pinto too has very sound advice re: the goons.
Don't know on WHAT basis the Police could be involved in a "civil law" matter. If the goons actually threaten a person, SURE; other wise ? Anyway, there is an article on the website which might interest Preetam.
It is called: Goa: House Swiping
It's at http://www.colaco.net
Look under TGF Editorials
good wishes
