Can housing societies deny common facilities to smaller flats because of lower maintenance fees? Know what the law says

Recently a tenant from Bengaluru raised concerns that his housing society is denying him access to the gym and swimming pool because he pays a lower maintenance fee. He argued that since he paid the appropriate amount for maintenance based on the size of his apartment, he should be allowed to use the gym and pool facilities.

He also claimed that his landlord told him that some residents had issues with 1BHK residents using the buildings' amenities, which led to the implementation of this new rule regarding smaller units.
