The Rajasthan Apartment Ownership Act, 2015
The Rajasthan Apartment Ownership Act, 2015 establishes a clear legal framework for individual ownership, collective management, and transfer of apartments and shared spaces within multi-unit buildings across Rajasthan. Applying to properties with four or more apartments built on freehold land or leasehold land with a tenure of at least thirty years, the law gives flat buyers exclusive, heritable, and transferable title to their units along with a fixed undivided share in common areas. It legally obliges developers to execute registered transfer deeds, handover technical building layouts, and register an Association of Apartment Owners once a specific sales threshold is reached. By creating dedicated administrative authorities, enforcing fee collection mechanisms, and prohibiting unauthorized structural modifications, the Act protects buyers from developer default, standardizes property management, and secures apartment living rights.
