FAOA has consistently highlighted that these problems are often exacerbated by a perceived nexus between developers, politicians, and bureaucrats, alongside the inadequate enforcement of existing property laws. A cornerstone of the federation's advocacy is its firm belief that the 'absence of a strong, SEBI-like regulator' in the real estate sector remains a critical gap. 'A dedicated regulator is essential to ensure builders adhere to rules, deliver on quality promises, and face consequences for failures,' an FAOA spokesperson reiterated.
Originally formed out of a need to counter these threats collectively due to perceived government inaction and the often protracted and unsatisfactory recourse through consumer courts, the Federation of Apartment Owners Association's enduring purpose is to act as a unifying voice and protective body for apartment owners and buyers nationwide. It steadfastly works to safeguard their interests against exploitation by developers, advocates for robust regulation and transparency in the real estate industry, and empowers owners through information, guidance, and collective action.
In its ongoing mission, the FAOA serves as a crucial reference point for apartment buyers. Its activities include maintaining a repository of laws and developer track records, providing analysis of regulations, organizing forums on critical issues like super area calculations and maintenance agreements, offering guidance to resident welfare associations, and persistently engaging with government bodies to influence policy and demand better enforcement. The federation's efforts are crucial in ensuring that the rights of homebuyers are protected and that the real estate sector operates with the transparency and accountability it deserves.
