Do you give due importance to the maintenance charges and neighbors while booking a flat?
While booking a flat, we talk about property rates, specifications and amenities but do we consider how much we have to pay to maintain the project? Including the property tax we have to pay to PMC.Besides the expenses, do we give due importance to our would be neighbors who could harm or enhance the social life and appreciation of the property? Before booking a flat, Do you insist that the builder should provide names and contact details of other property buyers in the project? Please, share your experiences and views in the comments.

"Do you fear your builder?"
Water leakage from above flats...
ReplyDeleteWhy should water leakages from the flats above to the flats below not be attended by the Cooperative Housing Society Managing Committee?
Does any society member take permission of the flat owner staying below his flat for his opinion before carrying out the Renovations and Repairs of the flat?
Is it not the Society Managing Committee who grants permission for the Repairs and Renovations of the flat to its members?
Is not the Society responsible for the so many other Repairs of the Society?
Does any one force a society member to buy the terrace flat?
It is bought out of choice so why should the society do the repairs of the terrace leakages?
Why then in the case of Terrace Repairs, it becomes a society responsibility.
Any Answers: Do the solicitors have any opinion?
Can the Cooperative Housing Society Registering Authority give any opinion?
if the Managing Committee is not taking any responsibility to repair such negligent water leakages..
Grieved members who suffer from such water leakage in their flats due to the work carried out above their flats should report such matters to with photographs :
Local Area Municipality (Buildings Department).
Lodge a Police Complaint in their area.
Report it to the Cooperative Deputy Registrar of Cooperative Society.
Owner Members Demand from your Managing Committee
ReplyDeleteThe M-20 bond has been signed and submitted to the Deputy Registrar of Cooperative Society.
That every Committee Member complies with:
Member of a Co-operative Housing Society in Maharashtra, who has more than two children is not eligible to be a member of the Managing Committee. This disqualification is applicable only to a member to whom the third child is born after September 7, 2011
Also, if a member is convicted by a Court of Law for any offence involving moral turpitude, that member is not eligible to be elected as a member of the committee unless a period of six years has lapsed since such conviction.
A member who defaults in payment of dues to the society within three months from the date of service of notice in writing is not eligible to be elected as a member of the committee.
As per the Maharashtra Co-operative Society Act 1960 vide Section 73(1AB) every members of Managing Committee of Cooperative Housing Society have to execute the M-20 bond and submit it to the Deputy Registrar of Cooperative Society to make them accountable of their personal responsibility and liability towards the society and its members.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteI own a flat in Pimple Saudagar area in Pune. The Name of the apartment is Alcove. The maintenance charges for my flat is calculated to 2200 rs. However, since I have leased this flat to someone, he has been asked to pay an amount of 2700 rs. Is there such a law or something which allows the society to charge extra maintenance from the tenants. I am only aware of non occupancy charges which is not more than 10% or the regular service charge.
