The Maharashtra Real Estate Appellate Tribunal (MREAT) has refused to stay a MahaRERA order directing developer Veena Realcon Pvt Ltd to ensure flat buyers at its Veena Serenity project in Chembur can actually use the parking spaces allotted to them. The tribunal ruled that merely allotting a parking space on paper is not enough if homebuyers are prevented from using it.

Why the case matters

The tribunal made it clear that a builder’s responsibility does not end with allotting a parking space.
