Housing societies primarily hold flat owners responsible for rule violations and fines. However, tenancy agreements can shift this financial burden to the tenant. Owners may recover penalties from tenants if the lease agreement permits. Indian housing laws generally establish the owner as the society’s registered member. Ultimately, lease terms and violation circumstances determine who pays the housing society penalties. Housing societies primarily hold flat owners responsible for rule violations and fines.
