        I am a tenant who lives on 3rd floor of a 28 story building. I have a 650 sq.ft balcony which is open & uncovered.

        My issue is, the flats above keep throwing water, cigarettes, sometimes even stuff like used condoms & sanitary pads. There have been instances of welding sparks & even broken glass being thrown into our balcony.

        Every time we raise it on the society group, the management cries about how people behave uneducated & uncivilised. Thatโ€™s the end!!

        I want to cover this balcony but the issue is municipality & society management who doesnโ€™t permit it. But all other flats with similar balconies in neighbouring buildings have it covered. I have a 4 years old daughter & she has been raised in this house, every-time we talk about moving, she doesnโ€™t agree to it. We have paid the owner a heavy deposit of 15 lacks & we pay 20,000 rent per month. We are also in conversation with the owner for purchase of this house.

        What could be my steps ahead to get the balcony covered?

          Rather put a netting. That’s cheap and allowed.

          Technically you are not supposed to cover up the balcony as it will come under fire safety.

            Step 1- Ask them why you cant cover your Balcony ?

            Step 2 – State your reasons for why you need to cover your balcony also in writing and email.

            Step 3 – if the management replies with reasons in writing then good you can take legal step towards them to amend their policies. (I repeat get the reply in writing).

              I would rather move from such place and probably this is the reason, they want you to move out and coming up this harassment.

                        why did you give so much deposited?

                        It’s 3 month deposit in Mumbai.
