Can Housing societies disallow bachelors to stay a tenants in the society?
Q: The reason I ask is that there are certain societies in Pune which do not allow bachelors to stay as tenants citing security concerns. I remember having read sometime back that by law (High court ruling), Housing societies cannot implement such things.
Hi, The other reasons for refusal include keeping pets, such as dogs and cats, for fear that they will dirty the society or harm the children, people from the different culture region. "Besides, people with certain meal preferences are known to have been denied tenancy.
Being single is not the only reason that people find it difficult to rent a house in the top cities, though it is the most common one. "The society feels that a group of singles is likely to rough up the place and create nuisance for other society members. Besides, bachelors typically don't stick to a place for long and this doesn't provide stability in rental income compared with that from families,"
As per law there is no such rule that housing societies disallow bachelors. The housing societies can indeed frame their own laws As per my knowledge rent agreement is between the landlord and the person who is staying . society should not have to anything with it but if you are living in societies you have to maintain certain rules which is common for all residential person.
