Ours CHS is over 40 years old. We have 5 buildings of 2 storeys,not on stilts. Hence there is very little space for parking. Earlier 2-3 members had cars now there must be about 30 cars and the no. is growing. We have decided to allow only one car per member. in the early years (30 years ago maybe) one member was allowed 2 cars parking. This has not been reversed.
1. Now another member wants to park 2 cars which we have disallowed. They have sent us a notice of harassment, mental torture and inconvenience.
2. We allow even leave & licensees 1 car parking at a much higher rate. This member states that we should not allow leave & licensees and allow them 2 cars parking. I understand that as per bye-laws, leave & licensees can also claim membership during their tenure. So they should be entitled to parking like members.
3. They are claiming compensation under the Consumer Protection laws. I think that members of a society are members and not consumers.
4. They are also pointing out encroachments made earlier and why the society has not taken action. They have been living in the society since its inception and have never written about these matters earlier nor have they come on the managing committee. In fact no one wants to come on the committee and members come only after lot of pleading and coaxing. We have never had contested elections ever. The earlier committees took up these matters even to court but nothing much came out and you know court cases last for years.
Cam they harass the committee in this manner?
