According to the administration, property owners were given several chances to clear their debts. Public notices were issued from May to November across newspapers, online platforms, and television. These notices warned defaulters to settle outstanding Ground Rent, Certificate of Occupancy bills, penalty or violation fees, and Land Use Conversion fees or face loss of their property rights.

Despite the repeated warnings, many property holders failed to comply. This led the administration to take action under the provisions of the Land Use Act, which allows revocation of rights when land charges are not paid as required.
