Short Answer

Yes, RERA can address issues like unlawful parking allocations or common area differences due to builder changes.

Detailed Explanation

Section 18 of the Gujarat RERA Act provides the authority to RERA to ensure that the promoter rectifies any structural defects or poor workmanship in the development. This means that if there are issues like unlawful parking allocations or common area differences due to builder changes, RERA can intervene and require the promoter to rectify these issues. In practice, affected buyers can file complaints with RERA outlining the specific issues they are facing, and RERA will investigate the matter and issue appropriate orders to rectify the situation.

Furthermore, Rule 10 of the Gujarat RERA Rules outlines the process for filing complaints with RERA. Buyers can submit a complaint detailing the unlawful parking allocations or common area differences due to builder changes, along with any supporting documents or evidence. RERA will then conduct a thorough investigation into the matter, including site visits and consultations with both parties, to determine the appropriate course of action.

For example, if a builder has allocated parking spaces in violation of the approved plans, buyers can file a complaint with RERA providing evidence of the discrepancies. RERA will then review the documents and issue orders to the builder to rectify the parking allocations in accordance with the approved plans. Similarly, if there are common area differences due to builder changes, RERA can require the builder to restore the common areas to their original state as per the approved plans.

In another scenario, if a builder makes unauthorized changes to the common areas without buyer consent, RERA can step in to ensure that the builder reverses these changes and restores the common areas to their original condition. Overall, RERA has the authority to address issues like unlawful parking allocations or common area differences due to builder changes to protect the interests of homebuyers.
