Facing issues in a cooperative housing society

Basic hygiene and cleanliness: The only solution is to have a Managing Committee who work efficiently and devotedly. Paying for swimming pool and gym: You joined a Society, which already had these facilities. You joined as a member on the condition  that you will pay for these facilities, whether you use them or not. Now you cannot back out.

I agree with Dr MPS Ramani

Thanks for the reply. I have complained several times verbal and written to the managing committee including Chairman & Secretary but they are least interested in taking any action. Regarding swimming pool and gym, maintaining them is already included in monthly maintenance charges which I pay. My question was specific to heavy repair charges.. If I'm not using it at all am I still bound to pay for repairs? Regards,

Hi you will have to approach the district deputy registrar of co-operative societies for redressal of your grievances with a request to give necessary directions to the managing committee to look into your issues and file a report accordingly. As regards the repair charges, you will have to bear the same. It doesn't matter that you don't use swimming pool or gym. A member cannot pick and choose the services which he wishes not to avail and thus refuse paying charges for the same. For example, take security guard. Can a member say that since I have my own watchman standing outside my flat, I do not need services of society watchman and therefore I won't pay for that in monthly maintenance. The fact that you are not using the gym and swimming pool is your own choice. The services are still open to you and you can very well use them as a society member. Yes you can always question the society about the quantum of the repair charges and request it to justify the same.

Thank you Mr. Yusuf for your advice.
