In our society, we regularly display lost & found items so residents can come and claim them with proper proof.

Still, over the years, a lot of things remain unclaimed and just keep piling up in the store room. Umbrellas, bottles, clothes, toys, bags, gadgets, all kinds of stuff.

Curious how other societies handle this.

After how long do you consider an item permanently unclaimed?

And what do you usually do with those items after that?

In my apartment sale agreement, it says the basement is meant only for car parking.

But now, around 3 years after society formation, there’s a vegetable shop, a water purifier setup, and another small shop operating from the basement.

Now, is this actually allowed legally?Can basement areas meant for parking be used like this?

Also, does this create any kind of safety or structural concerns for the building in the long run?

We have a few restaurants inside my society.

But the food there is priced much higher than outside, mainly because the rent charged by the society is very high. That cost gets passed on to us through the food.

Also the restaurants are having hard time surviving on such high rents.

Isn't the whole point of having commercial spaces inside a society to improve convenience for residents?

In which case if rents were lesser, you can get good affordable food inside the society itself.

But our association is not understanding this. Their focus is on only society revenue.

Is the situation the same in your society as well? Does your society prioritize convenience over revenue?

In my apartment, monkeys are now regularly coming to the top floors.

They climb all the way up to even 7th floor. Sometimes they enter the kitchen and leave a mess.

No matter how many times we shoo them away, they keep coming back.

Is there a way to keep them out completely?
