TERRORIST organizations such as CRPH, NUG, PDF, and their affiliates have been carrying out terrorist acts and arson attacks across the country to disrupt the cooperation of the people and the ethnic nationalities with the State Administration Council which has set future roadmaps for the development, stability and security of the State. In doing so, it is found that they have rented apartments and houses to hide while committing destructive acts in the country.

For example, on 8 June 2021, 25 assorted weapons, 72 hand grenades, 71 fuses, 14 assorted bullets, 156 TNT cartridges, 540 detonators, 4 boxes including 2 bullet belts, 27 12mm cartridges (without ammunition), 25 12mm cartridges (with ammunition), 3 bullet belts, 3,285 assorted bullets, were found and seized from a one storey house rented by terrorists in Ywaysu (west) Village, Patheingyi Township, Mandalay Region.

At around 8:15 am on 22 June, according to the report, security forces inspected the house rented by terrorists at No 116/Pha-19, 54th street and 111 (E) road, Htuntone ward, Chanmyathazi Township, Mandalay. While inspecting, the security forces were attacked by home grenades and guns from the house, and some members of the security forces were killed/injured and 6 terrorists were killed. A total of 8 armed terrorists were arrested with a large number of weapons and ammunition.

Similarly, at around 4:15 pm on 14 August, members of security forces on the Insein circular train were attacked while the train arrived between Ahlon station and Pan Hlaing station. Due to the armed attack by the terrorists, 5 members of security forces were killed and one was injured. The terrorists who took 4 guns and some ammunition were arrested in houses and apartments temporarily rented by them in Yangon.

The above incidents were investigated and it was discovered that terrorists conspired to commit acts of violence by temporarily renting houses or apartments. Therefore, landlords are required to report the accurate information of the tenants with complete documents under Section 17 of the Ward/Village-Tract Administration Law, and to cooperate by notifying the relevant authorities in a timely manner if they find that their tenants are suspicious.

As landlords will be responsible if their tenants are found to have committed acts of violence, and no tenants list and information had been lodged with the relevant ward/village tract administration office while renting the apartment, please be informed that they will be taken action under the existing law. In addition, the rented house or apartment will be confiscated as evidence under the Counter-Terrorism Law and will be confiscated as State Treasury as a result of the investigation.
