Parking Allocation from society
20-Aug-2023 (In Property Law)
I own a apartment in Pimpri Municipality.Building Construction started in 2007, possession in late 2009, completion certificate in first half of 2010. During the purchase of apartment, I avoided purchase of parking space, as there were reports that it is illegal on part of builder to sell parking. Now, I feel need of a parking. Around 6 Months back, I approached the management committee of society regarding the same, but have not got any response. Can I have a parking allocated from society, for which I need not to pay them any amount, since space is available.
According to the “Apartment Act” in most states, car parking is a part of the society’s common areas. Since the purchase of parking slots has been deemed illegal, the transaction to purchase would become null and void. Once the housing society is registered, it becomes the owner of all the common spaces of the apartment complex including the parking spots.
So, if there are limited number of parking spots, than the managing committee decides the basis of the distribution in consultation with the members. Some take the first come, first serve route and often perform quarterly reshuffles of parking spot to ensure no resident enjoys exclusivity. At times, if this is not practiced then the residents claim ownership of the parking spot.
When it comes to charges levied for parking spots, the law states “Under Section 84 of the MOFA Act, Every member who has allotted the stilt or the parking space shall be required to pay the parking charges at such rate as may be decided by the General body of the Society at its meeting, irrespective of the fact whether he actually parks his motor vehicle or not. The Society can recover different rates for different types of vehicles.”
