This query is : Resolved
I live in a society where the property belongs to the Trust. At the time of redevelopment Trust has offered the flats on ownership basis. Most of the tenants have accepted this and became the flat owners. There are about 15 our of 72 who did not accept this and remained tenants. Till date they are tenants of the Trust.
My question is in their case who is suppose to pay the property tax? These tenants are payting nomial rent every month to the Trust.
Regards,

Payment of Property tax is the responsibility of the owner of the property.However , in case the trust has bound the tenants to meet this liability under the Rent contract, then the tenants have to meet this liability.
