Ajay Devgn’s Juhu Bungalow Lease Sparks Housing Society Dispute
Ajay Devgn owns a bungalow in Juhu, Mumbai.
He rented it to a company that operates salons.
The local housing society says the neighborhood is meant only for homes.
Residents worry that salon customers could cause parking problems.
They also fear more unknown visitors could affect security and privacy.
The society says its approval allowed the property to be leased but required other official permissions for its use.
Devgn Group says those permissions were obtained.
The five-year agreement starts at Rs 16 lakh in monthly rent and increases each year.
The disagreement is about whether the bungalow can legally be used for business.
Ajay Devgn leased his 7,802.75-square-foot Juhu bungalow to Florian Hurel Salons Private Limited.
The Kapole Cooperative Housing Society says its 32 plots are exclusively intended for residential bungalows.
Residents fear commercial use could create parking, security, visitor and privacy problems.
The leave-and-licence agreement was registered on August 10, 2026, with first-year rent of Rs 16 lakh per month.
Devgn Group says required permissions were obtained, while the society disputes whether commercial use is authorized.
