Society not allowing to bring over guests in tenanted apartments


06-Oct-2023 (In Landlord/Tenant Law)
Hello I have a query regarding the tenancy laws. I am a student and I live with a friend in Mumbai. I am a bachelor and I have rented a flat in Andheri (W), Mumbai. The society I live in says that I cannot bring any girl over to my house. Not even in the day time for a few hours. Nothing like this has been mentioned in my contract but they say this is a society rule Recently I brought a couple of friends over, some of them were girls we were quietly studying without disturbing any neighbours This triggered the society and caused an argument between us, following which I was asked to vacate the house before my contract locking period is over I want to know if its legal to prohibit the tenant to bring a guest home without disturbing the neighbours, even if its a girl? If no, is it legal to ask me to vacate the house on this basis? If no/yes, which are the laws that mention if this is legal or illegal? Please try to respond ASAP since this issue has escalted a lot Thank You

There is no such law which prohibits anyone to come to one's premises. There can be society rules or norms but this law won't be in writing. These society laws are void as not allowing guests to come over is illegal and they cannot stop you from having guests
