In Bengaluru, the increasing number of vehicles has led to frequent parking disputes within apartment complexes. Legal experts highlight the importance of distinguishing between common parking areas, which are shared by all residents, and exclusive parking slots, which are assigned to specific flat owners. Residents are advised to check if their allocated parking space is documented in the registered sale deed or association bye-laws to prevent future conflicts, especially after Resident Welfare Associations (RWAs) take over management from developers. The Supreme Court has ruled that open and stilt parking areas are considered common areas and cannot be sold separately unless allowed under state laws. Furthermore, RWAs may regulate parking for additional vehicles or visitors and impose fees, but they must adhere to due process and cannot block designated slots without justification. The Karnataka Real Estate Regulatory Authority (KRERA) has emphasized that developers must comply with local civic norms regarding parking space dimensions, ensuring that each stilt parking space is at least 18 square meters. This ruling aims to protect homebuyers from inadequate parking allocations and ensure transparency in the sale of parking spaces.
