Uncertainty set to end? Draft of new apartment law in Karnataka nearly ready
Bengaluru: With thousands of apartment residents facing legal uncertainty over ownership, maintenance, and land rights, the Karnataka govt has confirmed that the long-pending draft of a new apartment act is nearly ready. The urban development department said the document — prepared in consultation with apartment associations, legal experts and stakeholders — will soon be sent to ministers for approval. Tushar Giri Nath, additional chief secretary of the department, said: "The draft is almost ready. We've had meetings, taken inputs from the law department and apartment owners. Final touches are being given before it is sent to the ministers. There's no deadline, but it is in its final stage." The proposed legislation is expected to replace the outdated Karnataka Apartment Ownership Act (KAOA), 1972. Apartment associations and homebuyers are now pushing the govt to introduce the bill in the monsoon session of the legislature and bring long-overdue clarity to flat owners' rights and responsibilities.
