The Maharashtra Real Estate Regulatory Authority (MahaRERA) directed a real estate developer to allot an alternate parking space to a homebuyer until his parking space is constructed. "The developer is under an obligation to provide a usable covered car parking space once consideration for the same has been collected. Mere paper allotment of a parking slot in a building which is under construction and not available for actual use cannot be treated as proper allotment of the promised parking facility," the MahaRERA said in its order. The MahaRERA further directed the developer to allot a 'reasonably accessible' car parking space to the homebuyer within three months of the order. The homebuyer alleged that the developer allotted permanent parking in building A (name changed), whereas he had booked an apartment in building G. He alleged that the parking space and the building in which he booked the flat are far apart.
