Under the MHADA Estate Management Regulations, 1981, a tenant of a rental tenement must not sub-let any part without the Authority's previous permission (regulation 28(3)(d)). An allottee can enter a caretaker arrangement only with the Chief Officer's prior written permission (regulation 30). Ask the owner for the permission letter before you pay.
