New apartment Bill proposes federations to end multiple association disputes
The Bill treats a federation as a higher-level body responsible for managing infrastructure shared by multiple apartment associations
The Karnataka Apartment (Ownership and Management) Bill, 2026 proposes the formation of federations to resolve disputes among multiple associations within apartment complexes. This new legislation aims to provide a legal framework for the creation, registration, and operation of federations, particularly for large complexes and multi-phase developments.
By creating a higher-level body responsible for managing shared infrastructure, the Bill aims to address issues such as the allocation of maintenance charges and the oversight of common areas, which have been a long-standing problem in many apartment complexes. The Bill also specifies the roles and responsibilities of promoters and outlines the registration process, which must be completed within 60 days of submission.
