He said that quit notice was eventually handed over to the occupants which they failed to adhere to.
The caretaker said that he had not collected rental fees from the tenants for a long time since he had expected them to pack out.
The said building collapsed on Sunday night, killing eight occupants, while 23 of them were rescued alive.
Emergency workers have been working round the clock to get to ground zero of the building.
