Can cooperative housing society restrict number of tenants per flat?


29 December 2014 Viv, Pune

Hi,

We have a flat in Pune which we have rented to 5 working ladies, but the society has passed a resolution in AGM which restricts only 4 per flat. Ours is a 3bhk. I want to know if it is legal for a society to restrict number I tenants.

    Dear Viv,

    No, a cooperative housing society cannot restrict on number of tenants per flat. This is an illegal decision.

    You can approach the deputy registration (cooperative) of your area for redressal.
