Tn apartment ownership act 2022

The Tamil Nadu Apartment Ownership Act, 2022, mandates calculating individual apartment shares based on carpet area, a departure from the earlier method using plinth area or super built-up area. For older apartment complexes with registered documents mentioning only plinth area, there's no specific mandatory order detailing a uniform percentage to convert plinth area to carpet area. However, you can estimate the carpet area by subtracting the area covered by external walls, service shafts, verandahs, and open terraces from the plinth area. To ensure uniformity, apartment owners in older complexes may consider the following approaches¹ ²: - *Consultation with Experts*: Engage architects, engineers, or property consultants familiar with local building practices to estimate carpet area based on plinth area. - *Reference to Similar Buildings*: Analyze similar apartment complexes where carpet area calculations are available to derive a reasonable conversion factor. - *Association Decision*: The apartment owners' association can decide on a uniform percentage or formula for calculating carpet area, considering the specific characteristics of their building. -

*Competent Authority Guidance*: Reach out to the competent authority under the Tamil Nadu Apartment Ownership Act, 2022, for guidance on calculating carpet area in older than complexes. It's essential for all apartment owners in the complex to agree on a uniform method to avoid disputes and ensure compliance with the new Act.

Carpet area could always be ascertained and incorporated as and when conveyance deeds are executed in future.

The Tamil Nadu Apartment Ownership Act, 2022, stipulates that an apartment owner's undivided share (UDS) in the land and common areas is proportional to the carpet area of their individual apartment. 

This means the larger the carpet area of your apartment, the larger your share of the land and common areas.

The UDS represents the fractional ownership an apartment owner has in the land on which the building is constructed, as well as in the common areas like hallways, elevators, and recreational spaces. 

The Act clearly links the UDS to the carpet area of each apartment. The ratio of an individual apartment's carpet area to the total carpet area of the building determines the owner's UDS.
