  • Door Number Issue

Hi
I am living in an apartment which has common door number 4, We have five blocks as A B C D & E.
My door number is C5 which means C Block & Door No 5, and I used to write my address like
 4 C/5 , SVT APARTMENTS
All houses are named like that for each blocks Example 4 A/5, 4 B/5 etc...
In my adhar card also address mentioned like 4 C/5 only, as all in my bank contacts.
Now the issue is all courier delivery boys naturally go to 4C first and got scolded by that owner.
That owner is not in talking terms with us, she is making nasty comments towards that delivery boy as well as towards us... May I send any legal notice to her since my door number is government approved and accepted.

You can send legal notice, she will retaliate on you for creating nuisance by knocking her door by courier. There must guard in apartment, without entry in register he will not permit any. Give him direction when ever some come, direct him the right path to your flat.

As a whole 4 C owner is not guilty.

Well , use a comma between 4 and C/5. Once you separate 4 from C/5 the issue would be put at rest. Moreover to make it apparent use ' flat number' before C/5 like  'Flat No. C/5'. 

If you do not hear about the abuses the hurled towards you then do not pay much attention to it.

1. There is no evidence that offence has been committed against you.

 

2. Sending legal notice may not yield any relief to you.

 

3. The courier boy can lodge police complaint against her for scolding him and abusing you and at that time you can join the Courier boy and add yourself as a party to the said complaint to the police.

No need to send legal notice to owner 

 

2) it would further antagonise the owner 

 

3) in apartment block there should be indicators regarding block numbers and apartment number to avoid confusion 

 

4) instruct security guards to guide the  delivery boys

This is only the presentation problem of the address and the addresses conceived by the delivery boys you may not be able to help them better you have to specify your address that tower and Flat Number separately so that it should be very clear and evidence that you are not living at C4 whether you are living at this block and  block and door number 5.

 eventually you will not have any solution  for this problem

See sending a legal notice in this issue won't be of that help you can while mentioning your address more clearly mention about the address further simplifying it and further can give direction to the security in the apartments so that they can send delivery boy to exact location.

In this.sending legal notice won't yield any good it is better to just take some caution and further in case she pass any defamatory remark then you can take legal step.

Actually it's mistake of delivery person he does not read the address properly.

1.  There is no scope of any cause of action on owner of 4C, in any manner whatsoever or whichsoever.

2. ALTERNATIVELY, with mutual consent of all the Flat /Apartment owners (via a proper General Body meeting) you can decide to put the address as follows:   C/5 , SVT APARTMENTS.

3.  There is no need to write Door no.  since this will be implied after a few days.

- Such type of problem will not solve after sending a legal notice. 

- A Sign board /Indicator is a better solution for the reach of courrier boy. 

- If, there is a guard employed , then he should give proper instruction for the same. 

- Further, you should try to remove this type of nuisance through the general meeting of the members of the apartment as well.

Since your neighbor has not directly scolded you or created any problem to you, it may not be maintainable even if you plan to initiate any legal steps towards it.

She has scolded the person who knocked her door and disturbed her hence she is right in her act.

You may have to make an alternate arrangement so that the delivery boys easily identify your house  instead of turning your inability against your neighbor.

No civil wrong has been committed by her. She is just scolding the delivery boys, which is neither an offence nor civil wrong.

You mention proper address in the same and also place a indication on your door for courier people. Legal notice should be last option

It will not be beneficial for you to send legal notice to that owner.

You should add some other mark which help delivery boys to differentiate between your flat and that C4 flat. 

It will help you solve the problem without any further mess.
