Sir,
Though buildding is maintained by builder, a committee is formed (though it is not registered yet), collects money from all tenants and hand it over to builder.
Whenever we raise the issue of unfinished tasks at flat, committee says that there is no relation between maintenance fee 1000 Rs we pay to the pending tasks in home. Every time, they gave junk suggestion of getting it sorted out with builder.
Since last month committee started collecting 200 Rs extra for providing generator back up to apartment, as part of which they would power 2 tubes and 2 fans in all flats. As my flat is not provisioned by builder for this, I raised concern to the committee that they should fix this before starting it. any how they just ignored my request and started power back up.
Now after completing a month, they are demanding me to pay 200 Rs, for the back up which I never used.
In this regard I've below concerns and request legal opinion:
1. Is it true that maintenance charges cannot be tied up with pending issues inside the flat? If so, how to get the pending activities completed by builder?
2. Should residents really pay extra maintenance for such amenities as generator back up charges etc, to a committee, which does not take any responsibility to facilitate inmates enjoy the feature?
3. What are my rights as a tenant in this regard?
4. What actions I can take against builder who is not completing pending works in my flat even after 1 year of possession?
5. Does committee have any rights to impose any penalties, even without being registered?
I request your legal opinion sincerely in this regard.
Thanks in advance.
