General200529 of 32 sections available2 chapters

The Jharkhand Apartment (Regulation and Title of Property) Act, 2005, provides a legal framework for the ownership, transfer, and management of apartments in the state. It ensures that apartment owners hold clear, heritable, and transferable titles to their units, including an undivided interest in common areas. The Act mandates the execution and registration of an "Apartment Deed" to formalize property rights and establishes the "Association of Apartment Owners" to manage common facilities and expenses. For citizens, this law protects against arbitrary developer actions, ensures transparency in property transactions, and provides a structured mechanism to resolve disputes through a designated Competent Authority.
