I am from Coimbatore and currently serve as the secretary of our apartment association. Two months ago, one of the apartment owners poured water in the common areas near the lift and staircase. This caused disturbances, especially to children, elderly residents, and a pregnant lady, due to the noise in the affected areas.
We called a general meeting to address the issue, but the owner did not attend. Instead, four days later, she sent an advocate's letter to the association with false allegations, relying on her father, a criminal lawyer, to support her. She has since been threatening the association. In response, we provided a truthful reply and filed a complaint at the nearby police station for our safety.
Currently, she is not following the apartment's rules and regulations, while all other residents are complying. She and her father are now threatening to file a case in the Magistrate Court.
What actions can the association take against this owner? Should we continue responding to their advocate's letters, or is there a more effective solution to stop this ongoing issue?
