In Hyderabad, a builder of the Aparna Serenity project in Petbasheerabad approached the Telangana Real Estate Regulatory Authority (TGRERA) earlier this week, raising concerns about unauthorized structural modifications made by two residents. The builder cited potential risks to the building's structural integrity and invoked Section 36 of the Real Estate (Regulation and Development) Act to seek interim relief. TGRERA, upon reviewing the case, ordered a status quo, restraining the residents from making further alterations until a final decision is reached.
A developer of the Aparna Serenity residential complex in Petbasheerabad, Hyderabad, has recently filed a complaint with the Telangana Real Estate Regulatory Authority (TGRERA) concerning unauthorized structural modifications by two residents. The builder expressed apprehensions that these alterations could compromise the building's structural integrity and potentially affect the five-year structural liability period stipulated in the agreement.

The residents in question had purchased flat number 205 through a registered sale deed and construction agreement in October 2023, receiving possession in November 2023. The builder alleged that the occupants began making structural changes without obtaining prior approval, violating Clause 15.1 of their agreement and Section 433 of the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) Act, which prohibits such modifications without the commissioner's consent.
Despite being granted two opportunities to respond, the residents failed to submit a reply, instead requesting further adjournments and indicating an intention to provide an undertaking. The builder also noted that other residents had objected to the ongoing alterations and that a police complaint filed by its employees remained unregistered, while the respondents had lodged a counter-complaint.
After reviewing the submissions, TGRERA determined there was prima facie cause for concern and concluded that granting interim relief would not cause undue hardship to the respondents. Consequently, the authority ordered the residents to maintain the status quo, refraining from any further structural changes until the complaint is fully adjudicated.
Unauthorized alterations not only pose risks to the building's integrity but also have legal implications that can affect both residents and developers. The proactive involvement of regulatory bodies like TGRERA ensures that such disputes are addressed promptly, maintaining the safety and harmony of residential communities.
