If the teen roof belongs to others they can object to you.

A consumer forum has observed that no flat owner has the right to put flower pots or personal belongings in the common passage in front of the flat.
In a city where flat owners brazenly attempt to maximise every square inch of space available, a consumer forum has observed that no flat owner has the right to put flower pots or personal belongings in the common passage in front of the flat. The forum rejected the complaint filed by Parel resident who alleged that despite paying the maintenance amount the society was not cleaning the passage regularly.
The AGM can make such rules and if the same has been decided by the past AGM it will be applicable unless revoked. Beside this please note the potted plants are not good for the building structure and damages the walls / parapets.

In Apartments all the inhabitants need to live in good neighborly atmosphere. To achieve that one should have a higher level of tolerance towards neighbors and co-tenants.
