Typically, larger housing projects are spread over multiple phases, and often, multiple amenities are made available only on completion of the last phase. To ensure residents in the earlier phases are aware about the availability of the facilities and amenities, it is now mandatory to provide a phase-wise and date-specific information of the same.
The Agreement for Sale will now include comprehensive details of the facilities and amenities, including swimming pool, tennis court, badminton court, theatre, club house, gymnasium, table tennis area, squash court, giant chess area, garden, senior citizen zone, jogging track, juice bar, children play area, among others.
In the event of any major revisions or changes or corrections or relocation of the specified facilities and amenities or public areas, an approval from MahaRERA is a must. Without such an approval, any and all changes will be considered invalid and illegal.
Ajoy Mehta, Chairman, MahaRERA, said, 'MahaRERA has observed that many homebuyers have been affected by these shortcomings and has taken a serious note of this issue. After providing all stakeholders ample opportunity to express their views, it has now been made mandatory to specify the delivery timeline of all the promised facilities and amenities in the Schedule II of the Agreement for Sale.'
This move is expected to enhance transparency and safeguard the rights of homebuyers, ensuring that developers are held accountable for providing the promised facilities and amenities within a specified timeframe.
