How can I handle the Society Management in Mumbai, India?

Has anyone faced any resitance from neighbours or the Society management? If yes, how did you handle that?

Hi @Tina20,

 

Most societies believe that "Society laws are above any Government laws and no law can infringe Society bye-laws".

I had a flat that I had rented to some students in Pune, the society said that Bachelors weren't allowed but I knew they cannot impose any such restrictions, so they issue was standing. Later these guys adopted a pet dog. This time they called for a meeting and sent me a notice that Bachelors and Pets and Foreign Nationals were prohibited. I didn't pay much heed, so they decided to file a complaint, which worked in my favour, because our constitution doesn't discrimate and so one is allowed to rent out property to anyone as long as we have completed all formalities and police verifications. 

 

Socities are unware of the laws and try to bully sometimes. So just get some printouts of the material on the GJ Tourism site and your other registrations and furnish it to them. Find out the bye-laws in your region, I read differnt views on bye-laws. A society can follow the bye-laws it has adopted during registration however these laws cannot override constitutional laws. Since you have 3 listings, I assume you are putting a lot of thime into this, I'd suggest seek help of a lawyer to end this matter once and for all. So that you can peacefull carry on with your hosting 🙂

 

Good day 🙂

Jeet

Can society object if you are staying in the same house and you are Airbnbing one of your rooms inside your house to a guest. It's like interfering when you have your own relatives or friends staying at your place? Any comments?

Society bye-laws are framed restricting PG and Airbnb accommodations. People don't understand that Airbnb offers guest communities better than any other platform. And its a decent source of income too. I guess some don't know the rules, some just want to impose their rules and some are just jealous of you making good money. I have hosted my places in Ahmedabad but stopped during lockdown. 

I think societies can at the most request for ID verification, police verification or registration. Beyond this, they are just overstepping their jurisdiction.
