Residential apartment owners association is a vital part of a community living. The Association is formed by 7 or more owners in the Apartment Complex approaching the Registrar of Societies together and makes an application that:
A memorandum has to be created. The memorandum will state the name of the society, the objectives and the names, addresses and occupations of each and every member of the Association. This is for creating transparency in the operation of the organization
The bye-laws or the rules regulating the conduct of the affairs of the society will be made. These bye-laws are crucial in the management of the society. The memorandum and the bye-laws have to be printed or typewritten and have to be signed by the members.
After registering the association you can add other owners as member of the association. Every owner of the apartment complex is a member of the Association. In the case of joint ownership, the first person named in the title document is typically the member. No person who is not an owner of an apartment in the complex can be a member of the association. Any person, or persons, other than the owner, who is wholly residing, occupying or otherwise in lawful possession of any apartment in complex becomes an Associate member of the association. The Associate member pays maintenance charges to use common facilities, but does not have right to vote, unless authorized by the owner of the flat in writing.
The association can issue proxy facility for members to attend the meetings
