Can the apartment association deny us permission for our event?

Our apartment association is not giving us permission to organize a singing and poetry event at the amphitheatre using speakers. Their reason is complaints from residents via WhatsApp messages, but no official complaint was shown. Their rules allow use of speakers until 9:30 PM, and our event ends by 7:30 PM. The bylaws do not restrict use of the amphitheatre for such events. Can the association legally prevent us from using a common area for which we pay maintenance? Is there any civil law under which we can question this?

If association rules allow use of speakers till 9:30 PM, and your event ends by 7:30 PM, denial without proof is unreasonable. You can issue a written request citing bylaw support. If refused again, approach the Registrar of Societies or file a complaint in the civil court for misuse of power over common areas. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
