I have a Question
Is the Flat owners are allowed to keep Pets Like Dog & Cat Etc. in the Flats. If it is allowed Whether they can Carry These Pets Through the Elevators( Lifts)?
Our builder is not interested in forming the Housing Society while all the flats in our building are sold, similarly there are other two buildings in our compound, flats of which are also sold out. only one building i.e. the fourth building where flats are balanced to be sold.
we had approached the builder to get our buildings society registered but he is only giving a false promises and has done nothing in this direction, He has formally given us a permission to form a committee and look after the building affairs, but he is not doing anything for registration, he even went on to state that “SOCIETY REGISTRATION SHALL BE ON HIS SOLE WILL, IF HE DECIDES THEN ONLY THE SOCIETY CAN BE REGISTERED, HE EVEN CHALLENGED THE VISITING MEMBERS TO GO TO COURT”. The builder has already taken the money for formation of society and for other legal charges and it has been more than 3 years when we have booked and taken possession of the flats.
Kindly advise.

1) the share cert transfer is within a span of 1 month & 2) in 2nd situation the sale of flat is within 6 months of the earlier sale.
What is the solution to the same?
dear all,
do not register your apartment owners association under the act 2001, because it is made for everything else except apartment. You must go for 1987 act to protect the flat owners interest, i f the builder refuses to go for association no problem 7 flat owners can form the association and submit the paper to the sub-registrar. never accept act 2001.
The Secretary of our housing society in New Panvel has not called for a general body meeting during the last 6 years or so. He neither relinquishes his post also despite so many demands (orally by members). The accounts are also unaudited for last 4/5 years. Whom I can approach for making the Secretary comply with the rules of housing societies? Who is the RTI authority supervising the affairs of Coop. Housing Societies?
Hello..We are having a flat in a co-operative houding society in Matunga(C.R.) Mumbai. The pillar of the main hall is damaged so we are planning to repair it. Can you please let me know if we can ask the society to bear the expenses as it is the main pillar connected to all the flats or we need to just take the permission from the society and pay our self. Kindly suggest.
Thanks and Regards,

I am staying in Pune in one of the housing society which has more than 70 members .
The team of secretaries have decided to lock the common terrace all of a sudden without even informing or notifying in anyway to the society members. The verbal reason being told that, “Someone threw stone from the terrace which broke the glass of a car which was parked outside of the society”. Can it be a legal/valid reason for common terrace to be locked which was opened for last 11 years without a single such incident. Now when everyone is complaining about it. They (secretaries) are saying it is for the safety of the society members. Can anyone help urgently, how should this be handled?

Since one year onwards Some of the Flat owners not paying monthly maintenance. How to take legal action on them?
Kindly advice.
Mr. Kumar never think of that as there are too many complications in trimming of trees, first of all you have to approach a local body (if in case you are in mumbai then its BMC) their garden department will examine the tree and will submit a report. There has to be a valid reason you cannot go on cutting or trimming trees just coz they shed leaves, there has to be logic for cutting or trimming, forget about cutting it can land you in jail for 14 years the offense is considered to be equal to IPC 302 which is for murder.

Under what law new bye laws have to be adopted by 30/4/2013?
My father holds a flat in a hsg society – the share certificate is in his single name. As he is 83 yrs old, it is difficult for him to attend the general body meetings.Hence the secretary has suggested him to add me (his son) as an associate member so that I can attend the meetings in his place.
For this, we are supposed to apply in a form along with Rs 100 fees,which we have already done.
Now the society is asking us to submit a signed SHARE TRANSFER DEED to change the name on the Society’s Share Certificate from single name to joint names – my father being the first holder.
But, my father is against this as it will amount to a sale – which will lead to a Capital Gain Tax.
Kindly advise us what to do in such a situation.
Thanks a lot!
