Can Housing Societies Bar Small Flat Owners From Common Amenities? Law Explained

A key legal question has emerged around whether housing societies can restrict residents of smaller flats from accessing shared amenities such as pools and gyms. Under property law, common facilities including lifts, open spaces, and clubhouses are collectively owned by all flat owners through their undivided share in the property. This means every flat owner, regardless of unit size, holds a legal stake in these shared spaces. Denying access based on flat size could therefore conflict with ownership rights recognized under applicable housing and property regulations.

He drew a historical parallel by recalling that Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj captured Torna Fort at the age of 17, effectively in his own Gen Z years. Thackeray also noted that the Mughals had disparagingly referred to Shivaji as a 'rat', likening that historical disdain to the current criticism of young protesters. His remarks were aimed at countering narratives that belittle youth-led activism.
