Society Matters #commercial #builder #charging #money #maintenance

I have a commercial office in Andheri (E) since last 20 years. Since so many years, the builder is regularly charging the maintanence but I believe he is not utilising the money towards the maintenance of the office. I wanted to know that can the builder do so? Also, can the builder charge us for repairs or only the society can?

How old is the society? When is the builder going to hand over operations to the society. Normally, as a practice a builder runs the maintainance for 6 months to a year to ensure everything is smoothly running. Post this, it is normally handed over to the society with proof of where the money has been utilized.

I have rented out my flat in Brigade Metropolis,Whitefield,Bangalore. The club house there is owned by the builder. The prices of this clubhouse are quite high and it is mandatory to pay these charges. The RWA has also agreed to the clubhouse by laws. The tenant in my flat doesn't use the clubhouse either. I don't wish to bare this extra cost. What do I do about this?

The fees and charges in connection with the club house would depend on the terms of the Agreement executed by you with the Developer when you purchased the flat. If, the Agreement provides that payment of charges towards the club house are compulsory and if you have agreed to the same then you would be required to pay such charges irrespective of whether you used the clubhouse facility or not.

I had purchased a flat 4 years back. My flat is in my sister(because she was the only earning member of the house) and my dad's name. We had taken a loan for the flat and since Jan 11 instead of my sister who bought the flat I have been paying EMI for the loan because she got married. I am not getting any benefits and so I wish to transfer the property in my name. Do I have to pay the stamp duty and registration charges again? Or do we have an alternate way to transfer it?

The flat can be trasnferred to your name by your sister by way of a gift deed and the same would attract 2% stamp duty as per the provisions of the Bombay Stamp Act and a further 1% charge towards registration fees or Rs. 30,000/- whichever is lower on that account.

Gift deed between blood relatives is permissible.

Legal #association #charging #maintenance #mentions #payment

I am from the association of a 2 year old apartment in Whitefield. We are facing some problems related to the issue of charging maintenance. Our sale deed specifically mentions about the payment of the common cost and as per square feet of area of the flat. Now people are arguing that such maintenance constraints aren't valid even after being mentioned in the sale deed. Does the association have the authority to over rule the sale deed and decide on its own? Also, if they decide to charge differently from the sale deed can they be sued?

It would depend under which act is the association registered. Is it the co-operative societies act or the apartment ownership act. The provisions of such act would have to be read with the terms of the sale deed and anything contrary to the act, would negate the terms of the sale deed and could invite litigation.
