Bengaluru man slams apartment management committee for enforcing ‘boomer rules’
A Bengaluru man went viral after slamming apartment management committees for enforcing restrictive, outdated rules.
Published on: Jun 04, 2026 2:08 PM IST By Trisha Sengupta Share via Copy link A Bengaluru man’s viral tweet has sparked a heated online debate regarding the strict regulations enforced within modern Indian apartment complexes. The resident lashed out, claiming that residential societies are majorly suffering from "boomer rules." He explained that most members of these committees are retired individuals who introduce impractical restrictions, such as banning residents from sitting on the grass or prohibiting kids from playing in open areas. A Bengaluru man’s post on the apartment management committee has prompted varied remarks on X. (Representative image). (Pexels) “Indian Apartment societies are suffering from boomer rules. Most in the MC are these retired folks who have made stupid rules like no sitting on grass, kids shouldn't play in vacant areas, no balls (inflatable) in pools etc,” the Bengaluru man wrote. Also Read: Karnataka society bans 1BHK residents from gym, pool but takes maintenance: ‘Isn't it discrimination?’ He added, “Sadly the young folks are busy with work, managing house and kids. Will need another 10 yrs for this Dinosaur crowd to be replaced by people with real vision.”What did social media say?
The post quickly struck a chord with netizens, who flooded the comment section with their own nightmarish experiences of dealing with housing society rules. Many users shared frustrating anecdotes highlighting how extreme and illogical these restrictions can be in daily life. An individual posted, “Don't enter the garden area with your footwear, don't go swimming during this time, don't play now as my kids' exam is going on, don't do cycling here etc. Once, a retired uncle threatened my wife and kids for cycling in our compound. Unfortunately, I had to go to the police station for something like that. But no remorse from uncle.” Another added, “Our society has dog lovers in the managing committee. They have even built a dog shelter on the premises, and there are about 20 stray dogs roaming around all over.” The OP responded, “Oh, that's another problem. They want to feed them, but nobody wants to take responsibility if they bite someone.” Also Read: 'Goodbye HSR Layout!': Bengaluru man says ₹45,000 rent for 1BHK 'drained' his ₹24 LPA income A third commented, “No playtime between 2 and 5pm... during playtime, ask the children to play without making noise.” On the other hand, some users shared completely different experiences, stating that they had never faced such rigid governance. A fourth wrote, “Where are you staying, man? Been in societies for years, never faced these issues.” (Disclaimer: This report is based on user-generated content from social media.
