Respected Sirs,

Pranam!

Regarding the subject matter I wish you all to have a review on the Rule 34 clause attached with this (I guess this attachement would not cause any violation of the protocols of this forum or website, in that case please let me know about the same and I will withdraw / delete the attachment.

I am in a aprtment having 10+2 floors with 40 dwelling units, and with ref to each our sale deed, we have got a separate parking slot assigned in the deed and each one of us paid for the same, as instructed by the builder. but only three or four owners are having a area of 15 sq. mtr for the car parking and all others area are less than it.

This building/project is under RERA (Kerala) registered, LSGD is a Municipality, and KMBR-1999 is the LSGD norms followed by the builder.

Whether each owners is entitled to have this 15 sq.mtr area for the car parking? whether we can go against the bulder for a legal complaint on this matter if the builder denied to accept this rule conditions.

Anticipating your expertised opinions / suggestions on this regard.

thanks,

15 sq mtr area for one car parking is a luxury, isn't it ? There may be some other reason for allotment of 15 sq mtr on account of one car parking stated to have been sold such as corner, beam, pillar etc. which you can find out.

Open area parking slot depends upon availablity of common area in the complex, otherwise no space can be reserved on account of parking except stilt or garage parking.

The builder sells the flat and parking lots to several customers. Each one is a separate deal and no uniformity can be claimed. You have no case.
