BAF Demands Karnataka Apartment Ownership Act Passage
The Bangalore Apartments’ Federation (BAF) is asking the Karnataka government to pass a new law called the Karnataka Apartment Ownership and Management Act (KAOMA) during the upcoming Assembly session.
BAF represents many apartment and villa groups and says the current law from 1972 is too old and causes problems.
They want the new law to make it clear who owns the apartments and how they should be managed.
BAF says the government promised to make this law, but it hasn't happened yet.
They hope the new law will help solve problems and make life better for people living in apartments.
BAF demands the Karnataka government to pass the Karnataka Apartment Ownership and Management Act (KAOMA) during the upcoming Assembly session.
The current Karnataka Apartment Ownership Act, 1972, is outdated and causes administrative chaos and litigation.
BAF represents over 1,400 apartment and villa RWAs, 3.5 lakh households, and 15 lakh people.
The new law aims to clarify property rights, strengthen owners’ associations, and establish mechanisms for conflict resolution.
BAF has been urging the government to pass this law for years, as it was promised by both the Congress and BJP in their manifestos.
