I’ve rented out my ground floor apartment in a residential complex. From day one, my tenant has been dealing with unbearable noise from the basement pumps. Other neighbours are also facing the same issue. I immediately contacted the association office seeking a solution, but it’s been over 3 months and nothing concrete has been done. The only update I received was that someone studied the problem and forwarded it to the technical committee. Despite numerous follow-ups, there’s still no progress. Now, my tenant has served me a notice to vacate the apartment. I’m worried future tenants will face the same problem and I can’t ethically conceal this issue. What legal options do I have to deal with this situation, considering the inconvenience my tenant has faced and the potential financial loss I’m facing?
Best Answer
Under Indian law, you can legally pursue the Apartment Owners’ Association (AOA) for negligence in addressing the noise issue. You can initiate legal proceedings against the AOA, highlighting their inaction despite your repeated complaints, and demand compensation for the inconvenience caused to your tenant. You can also seek a court order directing the AOA to take necessary remedial measures to resolve the noise problem.
