Housing Society Laws: Bachelor tenants not allowed


My Housing Society Based in pune has forwarded a circular that henceforth they wont allow bachelor tenents in any apartment as some of them are causing problems to some of the residents.

My Question is Can a Society really discriminate on basis on marital status and decide on which type of tenants are allowed ??

In case the bachelor tenants are not being a problem to the society can the society take action against the owner just for keeping bachelors in the apartments against the descision of the society ?

If as a member of the Housing Society,you are personally affected,you should approach the Dy.Registrar of Co-operative Societies in your city to seek redress.

The Society can restrict Membership but strictly as permitted by [in your case] the MCS Act & Rules. The Society's bye laws will shed light as to whom a Member may keep as a tenant. Please check the Society's registered bye laws. The bye laws shall not be violative of the MCS Act and Rules. If so, they are null and void, and the concerned landlord Member can make a complaint to the concerned Dy. Registrar CS.

If the Society is not following the model bye laws, and the bye laws they have adopted are not registered, then also the bye laws are null and void.

If you want to make the Dy. Reg. answer quickly, put your query on this issue to the Dy. Reg. in the form of an RTI application.

Unfortunately I believe they can, just like certain places place restrictions on age. Someone refused to rent to my step-mom (her and my dad are getting divorced) because they said often single parent situations like that the tenant is unreliable. And my dad is a police officer, and he said there wasn't any reason they couldn't do that.

The problem in this country is the educated are more uneducated than those who have never been to school.No body,not even govt. has power to make such laws.Most of the politicians are menace to the country .Could any law debar their entry into the house?

That's called housing discrimination, you can sue for big money. Take them to court.

yes, the society can have its bye laws. i ,for one, would never keep a bachelor tenent
