Car parking laws in mumbai chs

lawyers (Querist) 12 January 2017 This query is : Resolved
Hi,

I stay on Leave & license basis in a Mumbai CHS. I live in the same apartment since more than 5 years by renewing the agreement with the owners.

The CHS has open car parking on first come first occupy basis.

The parking charges are different for owners and tenants. Rs 100 and Rs 300 resp.

I have a second car now and suddenly the CHS is asking for Rs 1000/- as parking charges for the 2nd car.

The car parking space is easily available as there are hardly any cars of owners in this CHS. No owner has a 2nd car.

I feel this is extremely unfair practice and is there a way to challenge it legally?

What is the process that I should follow? Does the law allow a CHS to charge any amount as per their whims and fancy?

Your help will be highly appreciated.

Sir,

In a CHS in Maharashtra, it is the prerogative of the Society to fix the amount of parking charges for members and their licensees.

You have to pay the amount fixed by the AGM for the parking of your car/s.

Good Luck,
