The settled legal position is that in an apartment complex, maintenance charges are required to be paid unitwise.  To my knowledge, area of the unit or whether occupied are of no consequence.

The maintenance charges for the common areas of the RWA is charged as per the bylaws of the association and it is immaterial wheher the flat is occupied or remains vacant.
