I am new to this forum. I have a question.
My parents have been living in a 2-bedroom flat for the past 20 years. The society has never undertaken any major repairs during this time. Maintenance was paid without fail all these years.
Recently, when our apartment’s walls started cracking, we informed the society and requested them to begin external repair work to strengthen the walls. Despite repeated requests, the society did not take any action.
As it became dangerous for our parents to live in the flat, we spent almost ₹4 lakhs to strengthen the internal walls.
Now, after two months, the society management is demanding ₹2 lakhs from each flat owner for repair work.
Is this justified? Can the society force us to pay ₹2 lakhs? What does the law say in this situation? Please advise.
Thanks in advance.
Kiran
