Housing societies are crucial for maintaining peace and order among residents. They often set up internal policies that address things like maintenance, parking, and common area usage in order to oversee day to day operations. Can housing societies make their own rules? Yes, but with specific restrictions. Housing societies have the authority to establish their own regulations, but only in accordance with model bylaws and state cooperative society statutes. 

Can a Housing Society Make its Own Rules?

The general body of members must accept these regulations, which are often drafted by the managing committee. They seek to ensure equitable resource use and responsibly regulate shared living.

However, these rules cannot:

  1. Violate state laws or rules governing cooperative housing

  2. Violate the fundamental rights 

  3. Be unreasonable or discriminatory

If contested, these rules can be legally overruled. Hence, even though housing societies can make their own rules, they ensure transparency, non discrimination, and collective approval.
