“The real estate firm restrained from interfering in any manner with the administration, control or use of the common areas, as such rights exclusively vest with the MCOR apartment association upon issuance of the occupancy certificate,” according to orders issued by TG RERA chairman N Satyanarayana and RERA members K Srinivasa Rao and Laxminarayana Jannu.

The complainant MCOR apartment members who are also allottees and residents of the project known as ‘Darbar’ developed by the respondent, complained to TG RERA that as per sanctioned layout plan, each flat was to be allotted a parking space of 125 sft. But the respondent has provided only 100 sft of parking per flat, which reduced the allotted space and carving out of five additional parking slots. These additional slots are sold by the respondent to other residents, which causes inconvenience to the original allottees.

In June 2023, the apartment members received the occupancy certificate but the respondent deviated from the approved plan and continues to exercise control over the common parking areas. The respondent also threatened to occupy children’s play area for his personal use.

The complainants urged TG RERA to surrender the five additional parking slots to them as per the sanctioned plan.

The TG RERA stated in the orders that as per the sanctioned plan, stilt floor car parking consists of 25 parking lots and the same should be followed by the respondent and hand over the physical possession of the common areas.
