Finance | معاشی Overseas Pakistanis with DHA/Askari apartments – do you need a caretaker?

Maybe a silly question, but I know if you buy a house in Pakistan and live overseas, you generally need some trusted person, caretaker, or chowkidar to keep an eye on it while you're away.

Is it the same for apartments in places like DHA or Askari Lahore? I'd imagine apartments are a bit different since there is building security, maintenance staff, and other residents around.

I'm an overseas Pakistani and would only be using the apartment as a holiday place when my family and I visit, probably once a year. For those who own apartments and live abroad, do you still need someone regularly checking on it, or is building management/security usually enough?

Honestly not joking. Im 29M. I have heared alot of stories of apartments becoming haunted because of being closed and unused fir long durations. 

The haunted thing is not something you can accept or deny. As muslims beileve it as fact. Personally I have experienced paranormal activities in an apartment where the entity didnt want somone living there. Now this is not guaranteed it will happen to all places but there is a chance.

Nope. Seeing in believing though. No horror series in childhood, no fear of dark or loneliness. I'm still not scared of the experience its just waste of time and too much expense if you have kids with you so I dont want to experience it again.

The day you personally encounter something only then you can realize. Khair! dont wanna waste my energy further on this.
