Unequal maintenance in housing society

Decision of majority in General Body meeting shall prevail accordingly you will be charged maintenance.

As you are in occupation of more space and more common area it is just and equal that maintenance charges may be a bit higher in those Flats.  As you have such objections, the flat owners having less carpet area may have some objections.  The GB might have gone into those aspects, practices followed with other societies, and made such rule that has to be followed and even your approach to a court, they may not entertain your version which is against a majority laid down rule.

 owners of bigger flats do claim higher common facilities, because they accommodate more people. Housing societies were, hence, justified in levying maintenance charge on the basis of the flat's size. It also added that in case of housing societies, the decision of the majority would also prevail. The observation was based on the premise that all members of the association were also the owners of flats in the housing projects in question.

While the local municipal property tax levies and water charges may vary according to the area of the flat and number of seperate water connections in a flat respectively, the maintenance charges of a co-operative housing society can onlly be charged per unit irrespective of the area of the flat. There are various Court judgments validating this contenction. 

Yes, there is cannot be any discrimination in collecting maintenance charges. The charges need to be uniform irrespective of the area of the apartment.

The decision of the Bombay High Court in Venus Co-operative Housing Society Ltd. v. Dr. J.Y. Detwan & Sunanda Janardan Rangnekar vs Rahul Apartment No. 11  could be reflied in this context.

Thanks every body for guidance.
