Do tenants and owners have different rules for common areas


12-Oct-2023 (In Landlord/Tenant Law)
We live in exclusive floors, gurgaon. The new rules set by our RWA (rightly called Owners association) is that all owners can park 2 cars in the society, whereas if a tenant is living in a flat, they can only park 1 car and needs to pay Rs.2500 extra to the society for parking an additional car. Originally, DLF had only allotted one car park per flat. Now, the owners claim that they have more rights on the common areas than the tenants, which doesnt make any sense, as tenancy is an agreement between the landlord and the tenant and the RWA has no business to discriminate this way. The rules for common areas should be the same for both owners and tenants. What is the legal opinion? We want to stop the RWA from harrassing and extorting money from us.

No these kind of discriminatory rules are made by the RWA's because tenants are not interested to enroll their self in RWA(Resident Welfare Association wherein tenants are also resident) as member with voting right hence they are exploited.
And one may park as much as number vehicle for which one have booked parking no other number, please check your rent agreement and ask your land lord regarding booking of parking.
Also suggest you to ask RWA to share govt. approved rules, not RWA rules,
You may also complain to authorities.

AND finally, You have the full right and access as your owner have
