I have a question regarding forming apartment owner's association in a multi-block constellation. The said property is located in Kerala and comprises of three blocks with 100 apartments each.
Unlike typical residential projects, here the undivided share of land is already split into four titles. Each block has an own undivided share enjoyed by 100 apartments in the block. The common area is shared among all 300 apartments. Hence four titles.
As the block owners themselves have rights only on the area of land where their respective block stands, are there any legal constraints in forming one single association? The concern here is, when owners have only stake on the land where their block stands, can/should they be allowed to influence the maintenance of other blocks? The counterproposal is to form 4 different associations, one for each block comprising of 100 owners each and one big association for the common area with 300 owners. Does the law provide some guidelines here? I believe the Travancore-Cochin Literary, Scientific and Charitable Societies Registration Act, 1955 is applicable here.
