Clarence Pereira, a history-sheeter con artist, has been ordered by the Rent Control Act Court, Konkan division, to vacate an Andheri flat within 30 days. Pereira had attempted to fraudulently claim ownership of the property where his son, Raphael Pereira, had rented it in February last year.

The flat’s legal owner is 65-year-old Bharat Patel, who has been struggling to reclaim his 2BHK property. Pereira had been using a fake Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to falsely assert ownership.
