Use RERA to save stuck projects

Q. Our society with 20 flats signed a registered Development Agreement (DA) with a developer in April 2021 for redevelopment. After obtaining the IOD, the building was demolished, and the project was registered with MahaRERA, showing a completion date of December 31, 2025. However, construction has only reached the plinth level, despite the plan for a 14-floor tower. The DA promised possession by December 2024, but work stopped in January 2024, and the developer has also stopped paying rent due to financial issues. Given this delay, we doubt his repeated assurances of completion. In this situation, we seek clarity on, (a) Can the society terminate the DA? (b) Is MahaRERA's permission required for termination? (c) Can we cancel the MahaRERA registration now or must we wait until December 2025? (d) If we terminate the DA and cancel registration, how do we recover 14 months' rent arrears?
