Karnataka Assembly Passes Bills on Apartment Management and Property Ownership
The Karnataka Legislative Assembly passed two bills aimed at clarifying property ownership and management. The Karnataka Apartment Bill, 2026, addresses common area ownership, dispute resolution, and allows reconstruction of unsafe apartments with 75% resident approval, compensating dissenters. The Karnataka Municipal Corporations (Amendment) Bill, 2026, enables conversion of B khata properties to A khata in unauthorized layouts after road recognition, providing legal ownership and easing access to loans and permits. Bengaluru Development Minister Krishna Byre Gowda emphasized these laws offer relief and land guarantee to residents.
