Crime by Lodger in a Co-Living Space near Jadavpur

Facts of the Case:

In September 2023, a violent altercation broke out in a co-living facility in Jadavpur, resulting in serious injury to a resident. The assailant, who had moved in as a paying guest a month earlier, was found to have a record of violent behaviour and substance abuse. The co-living operator had failed to perform a criminal history verification or maintain any formal agreement.

Safebox’s Role in Crime Prevention:

Using Safebox’s Rental and Shared Accommodation Risk Assessment Tools, the facility could have :

  • Used Digital Documentation for Leave and License Agreement, thereby formalizing the lodger’s stay with legal protections.
  • Requested a Criminal Court Verification Report before onboarding the resident, which would have shown his assault charges in his native district.
  • Integrated tenant data with centralized crime watchlists, allowing alerts and red flags to be raised even before occupancy.
  • Maintained a digitally preserved audit trail, aiding police investigations and insulating the operator from legal culpability.
  • The incident showcases how Safebox can turn informal and vulnerable living arrangements into regulated, transparent, and risk-free environments, upholding both resident safety and operational accountability.
