The Gujarat Ownership Flats Act, 1973State Act of Gujarat · Act 13 of 1973

(1) Subsequent to recording the Declaration as provided in this Part and while the property remains subject to this Part, no encumbrance of any nature shall thereafter arise or be created or be effective against the property. During such period, encumbrances may arise or be created only against each apartment and the percentage of undivided interest in the common areas and facilities appurtenant to such apartment, in the same manner and under the same conditions in every respect as encumbrances may arise or be created upon or against any other separate parcel of property subject to individual ownership:

Provided that, if during the period any encumbrance has arisen or been created against such apartment and the percentage of undivided interest in the common arears and facilities, appurtenant to such apartment, no apartment and such percentage of undivided interest shall be partitioned or sub-divided in interest:

Provided further that, no labour performed or materials furnished with the consent or at the request of an apartment owner or his agent or his contractor or sub-contractor shall be the basis for a charge or any encumbrance under the provisions of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, against the apartment or any other property of any other apartment owner not expressly consenting to or requesting for the same, except that such express consent shall be deemed to be given by the owner of any apartment in the case of emergency repairs thereto.

Labour performed and materials furnished for the common areas and facilities, if duly authorised by the association of apartment owners, the manager or Board of managers in accordance with this Act, the Declaration or bye-laws, shall be deemed to be performed or furnished with the express consent of each apartment owner and shall be the basis for a charge or encumbrances under the Act aforesaid against each of the apartments and shall be subject to the provisions of sub-section (2).

(2) In the event of a charge or any encumbrance against two or more apartments becoming effective, the apartment owners of the separate apartments may remove their apartments and the percentage of undivided interest in the common areas and facilities appurtenant to such apartments from the charge of encumbrance by payment of the fractional or proportional amounts attributable to each of the apartments effected. Such individual payment shall be computed by reference to the percentages appearing in the Declaration. Subsequent to any such payment, discharge or other satisfaction, the apartment and the percentage of undivided interest in the common areas and facilities appurtenant thereto shall thereafter be free and clear of the charge or encumbrance so paid, satisfied or discharged. Such partial payment, satisfaction or discharge shall not prevent the person having a charge or any other encumbrance from proceeding to enforce his rights against any apartment and the percentage of undivided interest in the common areas and facilities appurtenant thereto in respect of the charge or encumbrance not so paid, satisfied or discharged.

25. The common profits of the property shall be distributed among, and the common expenses shall be charged to, the apartment owners according to the percentage of the undivided interest in the common areas and facilities.
