icon Lift use in housing society

A housing society in Mumbai has a hospital also. Is there any law which does not allow the hospital to use the lift in the housing society


A. Dear client,
There is no such law or rule that says that hospitals (or any office for that matter) can't use the same lifts used by the residents of the building.
Lifts in organized housing communities are no longer a luxury, as they formerly were and maybe the same is being followed in your society. The costs of preservation of lifts are high. So you are definitely eligible to use it if you are paying maintenance to society.
