#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.

#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.
