This query is : Resolved
Hello,
I want to know if it is legal to ask a tenant to pay extra for the clubhouse because he is a tenant. A flat when registered is accompanied along with the clubhouse. So, when a tenant is taking it on rent, he should be availing it as the owner has paid to the builder already. Also, if the maintenance is being paid for the flat, why should there be a question of tenant or owner. Is it not provoking racism?

I felt so. If I will take a flat on rent looking at its amenities, then I need it. But if you want double payment(maintenance + tenant charge) then what is it?
Whatever it is, I just wanted to how law sees to it?

Dear sir, club is not a amenity with the house. It is always a separate entity from your land lord. It has its own rules and by laws.To give membership or not to give membership to a particular person is its prerogative. Your land lord might have paid for membership at the time of purchase of flat but that membership is not transferable(generally). So you cannot claim membership of club just on the basis of being tenant in the colony.
