I need your advice on following.
Fact –
My wife is running Daycare (Palanghar) in our own flat since Yr 2009 in Pune city.
Background –
- We bought this flat in Yr 2003
- Day care has been established in Yr 2009
- Society has been Formed in Yr 2012
- Flat area is 750 sqft + open separate space of 750sqft which is semi covered by PVC cloth (we have paid additional amount for this open space and the same has been mentioned in index 2)
- Now admissions are about 15 nos
- Qualification of Wife is Bsc-Chem : Passed out – Yr 1978
Problem –
Now our society people have raised the objection on this daycare activity and saying that to stop this immediately due to its commercial activity.
Synopsis-
This type of oppose was happened 2-3 times earlier as well in Yr 2013-14-15 but we had requested them to please highlight the points which are causing the problems to the people in society. However they had given few points of problems (like parents vehicle standing in front of gate, trash bin not to be used etc) on which we had taken corrective actions immediately, then after matter was settled.
Now they do not find any cause or nuisance from our daycare eventhen they are oposing and saying that,do not run this commercial activity in the Society from your FLAT.

The Committee of housing society has powers to change user of the flat provided it is permitted under Development regulations framed by Civic Authority. Flats approved for residential purposes can not be put to commercial use for two reasons:
- It attracts higher property tax.
- It has a potential of causing incontinence to residents and also disproportionate use of resources to the detriment of other members.
The only redress seems to be to approach District Consumer Forum to direct housing society not to take away the facility approved in the past.
It is not expensive at all as a person having grievance can approach and present and argue case on facts.
