Parking Rules in Housing Society Maharashtra

on in Bye-Laws

Car parking is one of the most important aspects of housing society. After a society is formed and registered, certain rules and regulations need to be implemented as per the law. If society does not follow the law, members will go to court to get justice.
As we know parking is a major topic in every housing society where most of the fights and arguments happen if the committee has not implemented the parking rules as defined in the law. In society the common areas cannot be sold by the Builder / Developer / Such sale can be challenged by a society.
