The high court in a recent order asked the civic body not to issue commence certificate (CC) for redevelopment of the dilapidated structures in the absence of an agreement between landlords and tenants over providing permanent alternative accommodation to the latter.

The court gave the order as part of guidelines in connection with buildings which fall under C1 category (ones which need to be evacuated immediately in view of demolition) structures — both private and BMC-owned.

The order also applies to structures which have been served notice under section 354 of Mumbai Municipal Corporation (MMC) Act, 1888. The guideline was issued after the BMC approached the high court seeking directives in view of the difficulties faced byit in implementation of notices served under the aforesaid section, given the absenceof specific provisions in the MMC Act for eviction of occupants from the dilapidated buildings.

According to the order, in case privately-owned dangerous buildings are demolished by the corporation in exercise of power under section 354 (read with the order passed), then the BMC shall, while granting sanction of redevelopment, impose a condition in intimation of disapproval (IOD) that no CC will be issued under section 45 of the MRTP Act, 1966 unless and until there is an agreement, either providing a permanent alternative accommodation in a newly-constructed building or a settlement is arrived at by and between the tenants/occupants and the landlord in respect of the said demolished premises is filed with the corporation.

"This guideline will help bring in transparency in the process of redevelopment of shaky structures. The court has also asked BMC to prepare a list of dangerous buildings and also measure the carpet area of their houses. This will help stop cheating of residents/occupants once the project is redeveloped,

2)insist on agreement with landlord for permanent alternative accommodation then only vacate premises

1. Unless and until there is agreement between the tenants and the developer do not reply upon his verbal commitment.

2. After rebuilding the premises if he refuses to handover the tenanted portion it will be long road to get back your rights.

3. So if the builder does not agree on making the agreement file a suit for declaration in the civil court and seek injunction on further contractions so your rights remains protected before you are lawfully evicted from the tenanted premises,

1. It is wrong /illegal to shift Tenants, before grant of IOD.

2. Further also to wrong to demolish before IOD. Consider that IOD may be refused by BMC, for some reason or other.

Intimation of Disapproval is an important authorization given to the builder by the BMC to redevelop an existing structure.

An IOD is issued based to developer after the redevelopment plans are submitted to the Building Proposal Department of BMC , The developer needs to comply with many requirements obtain various clearances from Environment Authorities, Tree Authorities, Fire Officer etc. Only after the clearances are obtained, the developer gets a commencement certificate (CC)

All these clearances are necessary before getting the cc and after getting the IOD If the developer fails to get all these clearances the construction cannot commence However it is seen that the buildings are demolished on the basis of IOD even when major clearances are not obtained.

You can decide further course based on the prevailing circumstances.

1. The development agreement may be notarised too, it will not lose its validity.
