Housing Society : Model Bye Law against uninformed structural changes
2 months ago
We've got a member who's done some changes in their flat without giving our committee a heads-up.
Now, are we, the Management Committee, obliged / forced to take any action?
If yes, which specific rule in Model Bye Laws & what specific steps, like legal or financial actions?
A.Dear Client,
Model Byelaws of Cooperative Housing Society outline member responsibilities. Byelaw No. 46(a) mandates committee permission for flat alterations. Byelaw No. 47(a) allows the Committee to inspect flats, reporting necessary repairs, differentiating costs borne by the society and members. Byelaw No. 48(b) empowers the Committee to promptly address practices violating Byelaw No. 47(a), either proactively or in response to member complaints. In essence, these byelaws establish a framework for cooperative living, ensuring adherence to rules governing alterations, inspections, and complaint resolutions within the housing society.
