Tenant Breaks a Housing Society Rule: Who Pays the Fine—Landlord or Tenant?

A rented flat comes with more than just a monthly rent. When a tenant moves into a housing society, they are also expected to follow the society’s rules relating to parking, noise, waste disposal, security, common areas and other facilities. But an important question often arises when a tenant breaks a rule: Who is actually responsible for the penalty—the tenant who committed the violation or the flat owner? The answer can depend on the society’s registered bye-laws, applicable laws, the nature of the violation and the agreement between the landlord and tenant. In Maharashtra, cooperative housing societies operate within the framework of the Maharashtra Cooperative Societies Act, rules and registered bye-laws. The state’s official cooperative department also publishes model bye-laws and related housing documents. The Owner and Tenant Do Not Always Have the Same Legal Position One of the biggest reasons for confusion is that a tenant may be the person living in the flat, but the flat ow...

Selling Your Old House to Buy a New One? Know Section 54 Before You Pay Capital Gains Tax

Buying a new home by selling an old property is a common financial decision in India. But many homeowners may not realise that the profit earned from selling a house can attract capital gains tax . The good news is that the Income Tax Act provides relief in certain situations through Section 54 . However, this tax benefit is not automatic. A taxpayer must meet specific conditions relating to the purchase or construction of another residential house. A recent Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) decision has also highlighted an important point: buying the new house before selling the old one does not, by itself, make you ineligible for Section 54 relief , provided the statutory time limit is satisfied. What Is Section 54? Section 54 provides a tax exemption on long-term capital gains arising from the sale of a residential house, subject to prescribed conditions. In simple terms, if you sell a residential property and earn a long-term capital gain, you may be able to claim an exemption i...

Joint Development Agreement: Why JDA Is Becoming a Win-Win Model for Landowners and Builders

 India’s real estate sector is changing rapidly. As land prices continue to rise in major cities, buying land outright can require enormous capital. This has made the Joint Development Agreement (JDA) an increasingly attractive model for both landowners and real estate developers. Under a JDA, the landowner contributes the land, while the developer takes responsibility for planning, construction, approvals, marketing and sales. In return, both parties receive an agreed share of the completed project or its revenue. For landowners, this can mean unlocking the value of their property without selling it. For developers, it can reduce the need to spend huge amounts on land acquisition. However, a JDA is not automatically profitable or risk-free. The agreement must clearly define rights, responsibilities, timelines, payments and exit conditions to prevent disputes later. What Is a Joint Development Agreement? A Joint Development Agreement is a legal arrangement between a landowner and ...
