In my apartment differential rates of maintenance is being charged for owners residing in the apartment & tenants
There is no extra services being provided to the tenants for the extra money being paid.The apartment is registered under the society's act & not under Karnataka Apartments act
Is this a legal practice since i feel this is against natural justice.Can any one quote court judgements to support my view point

Who pays the maintenance charges to the Society in the case of flats occupied by tenants, the owner or the tenant? What do the bye-laws or the articles of association say? Who decided on the maintenance charges to be collected? Was it the General Body?
In Co-operative Housing Societies in Maharashtra, the applicable laws allow collection of an additional amount in the cases of flats occupied by tenants. It is called "Non-occupancy Charges". The laws prescribe an upper limit to the amount that can be collected as NOC.
In the absence of clear laws, only courts can decide.
