UA flat tenant in my building has called the police on my dad stating harassment because he removed some of the muggu/rangoli drawn outside her flat.
To go to the terrace he went to 5h floor via lift and then passed through the corridor to go up on the terrace. There was muggy drawing in front of her flat and my dad walks a bit sliding ly which rubbed off the drawing. She has camera in front of the door and dialed 100 because of this.
My first question is does this count as harassment? Isn’t the corridor a common area? It does. It doesn’t belong to her moreover she is a tenant!! We are owner of flat on different floor.
Never in our life have we got a police complaint on us and I am baffled that this has caused us so much headache. We talked to the police and they are asking us to go to the station as the lady is going there to file a complaint.
What should we do? She has a recording of the muggu getting rubbed off but is it really a big deal? She has harassed us and many others in the building for a long time with her huge car causing parking issues and her dogs in the lift. Her flat owner is waste to talk to.
I still think the area is a common area and she has no right to occupy it with anything.dbehave as if it’s her and nothing should be touched.
Please advice and meet me know whether I am correct t or wrong. -
SThis should have been handled within your society.
What is your society association doing when one resident is bypassing the association and reaching out to police without trying to discuss it within the society ?
You should report this to your association and demand a association meeting. In that meeting, the owner of that flat should also be present.
If this continues to drag you into police station, maybe you should be accompanied by your housing society association members or if they’re not available or not cooperating, you may take a lawyer.

UIf shes a tenant the she has the same rights in the Society’s premises as you have except for voting in society elections. As the society committee to interfere and it should be sorted

VAfter reading your post it looks like your dad purposely tried to destroy her rangoli maybe because you all don’t liker because of her behavior. Is it true or was it just an accident? You haven’t mentioned this information in your post.

UMy dad is old he has bad knees, and he walks slightly in a dragging way. He may have dragged more because he was mad due to her annoyance, but honestly, the drawing is barely damaged. She is making it a big deal. It was a white chalk powder muggu. She shouts, saying why we came in her corridor area, but that is not her place. I have a picture of the muggu I’ll add it to the post

UNAL…
how old is your dad ?
has the tenant ever complaint to you or the society before reaching out to police ?
if your dad is above 60 and/or if the tenant has directly complaint to the police without even trying to resolve the matter first by mean of discussion within the society then the tenants reaction is a bit excessive.
hopefully the police will just talk and not bother to register a formal complaint.

UHe is 59. No, she didn’t reach out to us or anyone in the building and directly dialled 100. After the issue, we haven’t gotten any more calls from PS, so I hope it got closed.

DSO for such people, when police calls, you can always say you are in meeting and can come within 2 hours from work. After 2 hours you should call and say you will come by another 2 hours as your tyre got punctured or so.
By the time she would be tired waiting and go home. Police wont be bothered as they are their full time and is not waiting for you.
This doesnt have grounds for private nuisance as you described its outside her door.

UDidn’t think of that. We were having lunch and came down as police called. We had no idea of the reason.

ELooks like your dad did it on purpose, anyway common area rules are as per the society by-laws, keeping a rangoli in front of house doesn’t constitute occupying it, noone will buy your case, still if you want to pursue it, raise the issue in your society meeting.
and school your dad not to unnecessarily escalate the situations like this, she can always use a harassment card on you, police are bound to act on it.
