Dear Sir,
I have a flat in Hyderabad. The society here charging monthly maintenance charge as per size of the flat. The fee includes all changes like security, water, house keeping, and amenities like swimming pool and gym etc. Since I hold larger size of the flat I end of paying much higher than others who use same amenities. I know in Maharashtra there is an act on maintenance charge calculation. Please let me know if there is any similar act in Hyderabad also. Here I feel that majority of the smaller flat owners are exploiting minority of larger flat owners by paying less but using same amenities. Any help in this regard is highly appreciated.

Read, compare, analyse and find out the difference between both the Acts, however, there is no dispute involved in this debatable topic.

1. "IF" the Society's registered bye-laws has provision of "Service charges as per Flat Area wise" THEN the Society can charge in the manner.
