Our society’s RWA is citing the bye-laws regarding common areas to fine residents for parking their vehicles in the visitor parking spots. They’re charging ₹500 for the first offense, ₹1000 for the second, and even threatening to tow the vehicle on the third. Is this kind of rule and fine even allowed by the RWA?

While RWAs can make rules for common areas, including parking, they cannot impose arbitrary fines or towing without legal backing. These actions need to be based on established bye-laws approved by residents and aligned with local regulations. It’s best to review the RWA’s bye-laws and consult legal advice if they appear unreasonable.
