How are you concerned?
He is paying property tax no action on this aspect.
In one building separate electric connection can be taken, no irregularity.
Tenant should refuse to take the property in absence of written agreement.
They should deduct TDS from rent if applicable.

In what way you are concerned with the issue of someone else, if not your own problem?

Dear Kumar,
Execution of an agreement is not mandatory. It is up to the concerned parties.
Failure to pay property tax is a statutory violation. As a concerned citizen, you may make a petition before the jurisdictional revenue authorities in this regard and they may take suitable legal action.
Receiving rent only by cash is the landlord’s discretion. In turn, the landlord is required to issue receipts. If the landlord refuses to issue receipts, then the tenant may refuse to pay rent by cash and request the landlord’s bank details. If the landlord refuses to provide bank details, then the tenant may send the rent by Money Order. If the landlord refuses to receive the Money Order, then the tenant may directly deposit the rent into Court.
Taking multiple electricity connections is permissible.
