Apartment Association Complaints & Reviews
Causing issue to daily life
Hello,
My apartment association has been taking extremely strict and unnecessary rules causing havoc to daily life/routine for all families. Association can take decisions but this is more of harrassment.
Now only after the complete lockdown situation maids are being allowed, most families are dependent on maid/cooks here. While covid is still present, the government has not imposed any strict rules yet. But the association is strictly demanding no maids to be allowed which is causing huge trouble to daily life. When we are still going out and coming to the apartment, why not maids. This doesn't make sense. If it is complete lockdown where no one can go out then its understandable, but members are free to roam but not maids. Also this involves the aspect that many maids will not be able to work and loose on pay.

Levy Of Charges For General Maintenance
| Address: Vadodara, Gujarat |
Dear Sir / Madam,
I undersigned Mr. Chaitanya Marjadi, occupy the pent house in an apartment of 14flats. Out of 14flats, 12 are 2-BHK & 2 are 3BHK pant house @ Vadodara, Gujarat, India.
The apartment is 7year old. From the inception of our society the annual maintenance charges were decided to be collected based on square feet basis. Such collected amount is used for all general maintenance so far.
I own the pent house and found that the all expenditure does not have direct relation with the square feet basis unless and until it’s a civil work involved where my square feet comes in to the picture. I was opposing to such method of collection from last few years in my personal capacity, which was ruled out by the society members as a majority do not agreed to it.
Recently i have gone through the Section VIII. Levy of charges of the society of "Bye-laws of the co-operative housing societies" MCS Act 1960, The Gujarat Ownership Act, Published articles in Hindu property times, some national / international papers and practice on this topic. I could find that except the civil work on my flats external periphery which call for square feet base collection, rest all other misc. expenses like security, lighting, gardening, lift etc is to be shared equally by the number of flats irrespective of the square feet owned.
Such information i shared with our society management and requested for the discussion on the issue, as so far i have paid Rs. 32000/- extra for the annual maintenance from the inception of the society. If i consider the loss of interest @8.5% nominal rate of interest on which society has invested the fund, cumulative i has a loss of ~Rs 42000/- so far.
When i shared such info with the society and asked for the appropriate modification in the society rules complying to the bye-laws of India and the settlement of the accounts on the financial loss i have undergone so far due to wrong rules set by the society, i am getting negative response from the society members. They are forcing me to pay as per the set rules of the society. As per them the bye-laws are not for the small society like us. The issue is going on from last 6months. I am getting lots of abusing statements from the society members on the issue too.
Request you to please guide me on the following;
- Applicability of such buy-laws to small society like us.
- Is there any way I can get fair compensation for the wrong methodology selected by the society by majority.
- I look forward for your written advice on the issue which I can share with my society members for mutual understanding and lawful settlement without going to legal proceedings.
Please find attached few recent electronic communications between me and society for your easy understanding & reference.
I look forward for your response in this regards
Yours Truly

Inappropriate action by Apartment Association
Hi,
I stay in an apartment at Bangalore & recently I missed out on the deadline to pay the Quarterly Maintenance fee for the first time in the 2 years I have been there.
As a result, the Association unilaterally decided to disconnect Fuse of the Electricity Connection to my Flat, without intimation of such an act. They did send a notice to pay up the maintenance fee a week prior to this incident asking to pay up at the earliest. The regular feature in our Apartment is to pay a delayed fee with a penalty fee. In extreme cases, they decide to stop supply of water. However, in this case, they unilaterally decided to disconnect the power connection.
Hence I seek advise on whether our Apartment Association has done the right thing by tampering with the Governments property {Karnataka State Electricity Boards Meter}, when I have paid to KSEB.
Based on sound & factual advise, I would like to take it up with my Apartment Association accordingly.
Request comments please.
Regards...Muralidhar

I stay in Suraksha Elegance apartment at kodichikannahalli Road bangalore (opp mahavir marble)
I was a member of a team who was taking care of this apartment for day to today needs and maintenance activities (Since Association is still not formed) chosen president of that team was suppose to take care of important issues with in the building, Instead he occupied a extra parking within the building, without even submitting or showing the legal documents to the other owners of the apartments in the building. As I was a member of their team I raised a question that since there are no 40 extra parking so in my opinion it is illegal (which I am not sure also) instead parking should have been auctioned giving equal opportunity to every one.
Now after raising the above issue since it was within the team I tried to educate the other apartment owners by writing mails to the mailing group of the building but for my surprise others are little bothered.
taking advantage of the same these guys of the team hired third party gundas and asked them to make abusive and life threatening calls to me (again I am not sure if this is done by them or someone in the apartment is taking advantage of the situation) but I have the proofs and the witnesses for the same.
Also this apartment has 40 flats .All the flats are of different size and the issue is small size flats are few only. So rest of the owners taking advantage of the same proving their majority unanimously decided to pay the same maintenance of 1000 Rs which again seems to be injustice because when they cannot charge the guy who has even illegally occupied the parking how can they justify the same maintenance and also this is not a practice in other apartments where maintenance is collected on the basis of per sqft.
Now I want to take the legal action against the apartment owners in the building for all the trauma and sufferings I have had in this building. Can anyone guide me or suggest some good lawyer for the same.
your inputs will be highly welcome.

I tenanted my flat in W. Venkatapuram, Secunderabad and staying at Kurnool (AP). Since my flat on top, terrace is badly damaged due to rains and usage. i brought it to the notice of Secretary and treasurer of our owners' association in last Jul2009. since there is no concrete measures nor even assurance of time frame for the remedial action, i stopped paying monthly maintenance with an aim to get it repaired myself. But secretary and treasurer are only worried for maintenance and not taking responsibility for the repairs in common area. nowadays they started harassing my tenants and threatening stoppage of electricity and water to my flat. please guide me for the appropriate action in case they interfere with services provided by the Govt bodies. can it be taken up with local consumer forum for redressal?
Thank you
Thank you

Hello, My apartment association has been...
1 - Inappropriate action by Apartment Association
Hi, I stay in an apartment at Bangalore...3
Whereas the owners (self occupied apartments) have to pay Rs.850 per month, the tenants (occupants of let out apartments) have to pay Rs.1000 per month. This, when the area of apartments are the same.
I wonder if the association is empowered to make such a distinction based on type of occupancy and fix seperate rates accordingly.
Could you pls. throw some light on this? What action could be taken against such a policy by the association?
