A housing society is a residential community typically managed collectively by its residents. It consists of a group of housing units, such as apartments or houses, that share common facilities and services. Residents of a housing society often participate in decision-making processes related to the maintenance and management of the community, which may include amenities like parks, gyms, security, and waste management. The society operates under a set of rules and regulations designed to ensure the well-being and harmonious living of its members.
