Which Meghalaya law requires landlords and tenants to register occupants for safety and security purposes?
The Meghalaya Residents Safety and Security Act, 2016 (MRSSA) requires landlords, tenants, and heads of households to furnish and register information about occupants and visitors, and empowers the state to regulate the entry and stay of persons for safety and security. It was enacted by the Meghalaya Legislative Assembly and published in the Gazette of Meghalaya.

Why Lawstronaut for Meghalaya legal research
Meghalaya legal information is spread across the government gazette, state departments, the Sixth Schedule Autonomous District Councils, statutory regulators, the legislature, and the courts — and sits alongside the Union (central) laws that also apply in the state. For humans, that means slow research. For AI systems, it's a bigger problem: fragmented source access, inconsistent formats, missing provenance, and weak citation trails.
Lawstronaut turns those sources into one structured legal data layer — source links, metadata, full text, versioning, and API/MCP access. Your product or agent retrieves the legal source directly instead of relying on generic web search or unverified model memory. Every answer carries a citation, a timestamp, and a link to the official document — the provenance that makes a legal research platform defensible to auditors and regulators.
About Meghalaya legal coverage
Meghalaya is a state in northeast India within India's federal, common-law system, formed on 21 January 1972 out of the erstwhile state of Assam. Under the Seventh Schedule of the Constitution of India, the unicameral Meghalaya Legislative Assembly legislates on State List and Concurrent List subjects, with state Acts and subordinate legislation published in the Gazette of Meghalaya by the Directorate of Printing and Stationery and consolidated by the Law Department. Meghalaya is distinctive for its Sixth Schedule tribal areas, where three Autonomous District Councils — the Khasi Hills (KHADC), Jaintia Hills (JHADC), and Garo Hills (GHADC) councils — make laws and regulations on specified subjects. Judicial authority sits with the High Court of Meghalaya at Shillong (established in 2013) and the district courts. Legal materials are published primarily in English, with Khasi and Garo used regionally.
Meghalaya law changes regularly: statutes such as the Meghalaya Residents Safety and Security Act, 2016, the Meghalaya rules under the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act, 2016, and mining, land, and environmental regulations interact with Sixth Schedule council enactments and central law — so citations to outdated provisions can simply be wrong. Point-in-time data straight from the source is what keeps a Meghalaya legal research answer correct today.
