What is the DMP tenant (house information) form?

The DMP tenant form, or house-information form, is a record the Dhaka Metropolitan Police ask every landlord to file for each tenant. It captures the tenant's identity and details so police can maintain a citizen database and check crime — part of a long-running drive after militant hideouts were found in ordinary Dhaka homes.

Why it exists

The expectation that a landlord knows — and reports — who lives in their building is well established in Dhaka. The goal is safety: making it harder for someone with a hidden criminal history to move into a flat undetected. But the form is filled by hand, submitted late, or skipped entirely, so in practice the legal check often fails.

How landlords file it today

Today, filing means collecting the tenant's identity details and submitting the form to your local thana (police station) by hand. It's a manual, paper process — which is exactly why so many landlords fall behind on it.

How BharaKhata fits in

BharaKhata's roadmap turns this from a chore into a default: tenant NID capture, trust badges, and generating — and submitting — the house-information form from the app. We label this clearly as a 6–12 month roadmap item; the rent ledger and payment tracking are live today.
