MahaREAT Landmark Ruling: Housing Societies Not Automatically ‘Promoter’ for Erstwhile Developer’s Liabilities
The Maharashtra Real Estate Appellate Tribunal (MahaREAT) set aside a MahaRERA order, ruling that a cooperative housing society that terminates a developer and undertakes self-redevelopment is not a ‘Promoter’ under RERA and is not liable for the former developer’s debts or obligations to third-party allottees.
