Tricky Tenants

Querist : Anonymous (Querist) 30 September 2010 This query is : Resolved 
Whem you live in group housing there are bound to be some black sheeps. Ours is a tenanted building and as the land lords are repairing them we have formed the tenants association and seeking permission from BMC u/s 499 of BMC Act. Amongst the tenants there are a few say 5/6 who may play smart and may not contribute their share of repairing cost and we do not want the work to suffer. Therefore our querries are as under:

1) How can we recover the amount with interest from such tenants If we manage private loans to wards the defaulting tenants share?
2) Can we bind them that they can not surrender their tenancy rights unless they pay of the amount due ?

3) Do we have to enter in to consent terms with such members so that they do not cheat us?

Pl. provide files for such matters, if available.

If they are unable to contribute their shares now,take an agreement in writing consenting to your spending the money on their behalf with a promise to repay the same to you in future. If you are going in for private loans make those tenant also parties to the documentation without fail.

There is no privy of contract/association as such you do not have any right but you may impress their landlords to make them pay. But legally speaking you cannot enforce them to pay as such.
