Society rule - bachelor tenet not allowed

Our society has come up with a rule that no owner can rent his/her flat to bachelors,strictly for family only.

I had already rented my flat to MBBS student and now society committe members are forcing me to remove that student.

i have also done local police verification and leave and liasense agreement on 500 rs stamp paper of my bachleor tenet.

The society has not provided any such written document/directive on society letter head regarding the same.

My question is, can I let my property to a bachelor tenant inspite of this rule formed by the society?

Yes, you can rent your legally acquired flat to anybody following rules without any discrimination whetsoever. In fact discrminatiing anybody in enjoying his legal rights of tenency is illegal. If your Society has framed such bye law, collect a copy thereof and challenge in the Court of Law. The the Society to give their law in writing then file a suit for declaration that you have the right to rent out your flat to a bachelor.
