Apartment owner association - byelaws

Dear Sir,

Kindly clarify the following:

In the apartment owner association bye-laws, there is a clause as given below:

  “APARTMENT” which may also be termed a “FLAT” or “UNIT”, (hereinafter referred to as “APARTMENT”), means part of the Building ,intended for use as a family unit for residential purposes, including one, or more rooms, and/or enclosed space with direct exit to a Common Area, leading to a public road. The Apartment shall not be used for any purpose other than residential, except with specific, written permission of the Managing Committee, and under such terms and conditions as may be laid by it.

Please clarify by signing the above clause, whether I am prohibited from renting out the property to bachelors for residential purpose. 
 
Regards
Harish PA

A. It is clearly mentioned in the bylaws, the flat or unit shall be used for residential purpose and intended for use a family unit. Family means wife, husband, children and parents.

B. Hence, before you are renting out your flat to bachelors ( bachelors will not come within the meaning of the Family) you have to get NOC or permission from the Association according to Association bylaws.

There is no restriction for letting the flat on rent to bachelor tenants. Hence you can very well proceed.
