Is society responsible for waste management outside the compound


23-Mar-2023 (In Property Law)
Our apartment is still under builders maintenance (will continue for 1 year), They have already collected a big amount as maintenance for a year and now they are telling that their responsibility for waste management is just inside the 4 walls of the property (collecting from home till gate) and for disposing off the waste outside the compound they wont do anything, we only have to make arrangement by paying any external vendor. While collecting the maintenance fee they didn't give any detailed breakup on how the amount will be utilised instead they just asked for a lump sum. Please let me know how to handle this situation.

Launch a complaint before the concern municipality. You can also file a complaint before health authority.
The alleged act will attract offence under Kerala Police Act. Consumer forum has got ample power to deal with issue in case of violation of the terms of agreement.

The builder's stand is unjustified, especially because they have collected a consideration for waste management; they have do a complete job. The society or the collective of the residents can serve a notice, preferably through a lawyer, insisting the complete job to be done.
