• Stilt parking purchased from builder prior 2010

We have total 16 parking slots of which 5 are covered, and were sold by the builder to specific flat owners. One such flat owner has been renting his flat out since beginning, and his current tenant has no car. So we were parking our car in that slot, since it was empty. Now the flat owner is raising objection and saying we should allow his tenant to park his bike in the car parking as he has paid money for it.

1) Do such deals done prior 2010 judgement, making selling and purchase of covered car parking illegal, stand good even now or are they nullified and such car parking to be handed over to society?
2) What parking rights tenants have? Can they claim a specific parking slot?
3) Can a tenant/ non resident member park his bike in covered car parking?

1 If the covered parking space is sold the said owner has exclusive right either to use it by parking his own car or letting others to park his car.

2. Since he is the owner without his permission you can not ark your car. So the objection of the car parking space owner is valid and sustainable.

3. Now the flat owner has given his flat and parking spice on rent then  the tenant shall have all the rights of usage as his orignal owner has otherwise.

If the owner has purchased stilt parking and its registered along with sale deed than other owners can show any interest on reserved parking.

.As it's his parking he can ask you to vacate the same.  The 2010 judgement only says about restriction for selling open car parkings

The parking you have exclusive right for which you paid but allotted by the builder on payment.

There is no sale of parking as this is part of the apartment.

1. Open /Stilt /Podium Parking spaces are all classified as "common open spaces" under the Regional Town Planning Act and CANNOT be Sold or Purchased or Registered . Parking spaces can be allotted (most of the times by illegally collecting money, which is a criminal offence).

1.  If the society has not taken any steps to retrieve the said parking space then you cannot tell anything about it to the owner, you may report this issue to the society and seek relief instead of quarrelling with the owner.

2. The tenant will be based on the owner's parking rights and will not have any separate rights on his own.

The decision about this has to be taken by the society only, hence you can make a representation to the society about this and if need be you may ask for a special meeting and discuss this topic and bring a solution to such issues because there are many people affected like who are not able to vent out their grievances, so  you may bell the cat.

Dear Client 

Any sale of parking space by builder is null and void after the formation of society is per supreme court order the builder cannot sell common area of building.

And society can cancel his allotment if the owner is not living in society himself. 

Parking right of tenants depends on the society and society can deny Parking to tenant 

No one can park his bike in Parking spot meant for car.
