Frequently Asked Questions

What is Palava Parking?

Palava Parking is an introduction service. We connect Palava City residents who have an unused parking spot with residents who are looking for one. We do not own, lease, or manage any parking spaces.

How does it work?

You fill a short form describing your need or availability. We review submissions, identify a compatible match, and make an introduction by phone. Any agreement, payment, or arrangement is made directly between the two parties — we are not part of that agreement.

Is registration free?

Yes. Registering your interest costs nothing. A one-time introduction fee of ₹750 is charged only if a match introduction is made. The fee is collected offline (cash or UPI) after both parties have been introduced.

How are matches made?

Matches are made manually by the platform founder based on society, wing, vehicle type, and parking type. There is no automated or guaranteed matching system. We try our best to find a suitable introduction.

Can I list a parking spot I own?

You can register your interest in sharing your parking spot. However, you are responsible for ensuring you have the right to sub-let or share that spot. This may require checking your sale deed, society bye-laws, and obtaining any necessary permissions before entering an arrangement.

What if the parking is assigned to my flat?

Allotted parking is typically part of your property. Whether you can sub-let it depends on your society rules, builder agreement, and applicable local regulations. We recommend verifying this before listing.

What if the parking belongs to the flat owner and I am a tenant?

If you are a tenant, you likely do not have the right to sub-let a parking spot without explicit written permission from your flat owner. Registering without that permission could create a dispute. Please clarify with your landlord first.

What if my society has restrictions on parking sub-letting?

Many societies have rules about this. We do not verify society permissions. You are responsible for checking with your society management before entering any arrangement. We recommend getting any permission in writing.

What if the owner changes their mind after introduction?

We cannot compel any party. If an introduction does not lead to an arrangement, the introduction fee is non-refundable as the service (introduction) has been rendered.

What if the parking becomes unavailable after an arrangement is made?

That is a matter between the owner and seeker. This platform has no liability for changes in availability after introduction.

What should I verify before entering a parking arrangement?

Before agreeing to any parking arrangement, we strongly recommend verifying: (1) the physical parking spot exists and is accessible; (2) the owner has the right to sub-let; (3) the arrangement does not violate society rules; (4) you agree on rent amount, duration, notice period, and payment method in writing.

What documents should parties review?

Consider reviewing the flat's sale deed or allotment letter, society bye-laws, and any no-objection from the society. ⚠️ For significant arrangements, seek independent legal advice.
