Maha Gov gives Tenants the right to reconstruct if redevelopment delays
In a recent session of the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly, Chief Minister Devendra Phadnavis expressed the need to introduce a law in the state where Residents will be able to exercise their ‘right to reconstruct’ the building if the developer delays construction.
“The state government will ensure that residents living in decaying buildings are not left in the lurch by unscrupulous builders,” Phadnavis said adding that the state would introduce a law to protect rights of such tenants.
He claimed that some developers delay the reconstruction on purpose. The tenants are at the mercy of such developers and fear vacating the premises due to the uncertainty of getting the new house. This law will take these devious builders to task.
