Is it legal to use personal flat for commercial purpose in society?
A lawyer is running his office in an apartment building, disturbing the other 39 families because many outsiders are coming and going, using the lift and common areas. How can we get this lawyer to vacate? He says he won’t leave as he owns the flat and will take legal action. What can we do?
If the apartment’s bylaws or society rules prohibit running a commercial office from a residential flat, you can approach the housing society management or Residents’ Welfare Association (RWA) to enforce these rules. The society can issue a notice asking the lawyer to stop the office for commercial use. Since he owns the flat, eviction is more complicated but possible if he violates agreed terms or causes nuisance. Consulting a local lawyer with experience in society law will help you take the right action smoothly. For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
