Temporary society management committee asking for maintenance money


18-Mar-2023 (In Property Law)
I have a flat in Guwahati, we took the Possesion in october last year by bringing the furnitures, on march we visited the property again for a day stay. The people of the flats, that were living there, like only 13 flats were resided out of 50+ demanded society momey as regular user. Moreover no society is formed, they are just the people, maintaing the non complete project for their own puropose, and demanding money from other, we even had no idea that there was a temporary management, we weren't called for the two meeting that that had, and from January the maintanence cost was increased by 50%. I don't think it's ok to form a society for their purpose and demanding Money from all the non residenne owner, who don't even had Possesion. Due to their own benifit, they forned a temporary management, who told them to stay full time at not completed property? So, do i need to pay the Money? At the same rate? Moreover, they aren't civilised and spoke in harsh words.

If you are member/owner of any apartment, you shall have to pay the maintenance cost of the apartment. If some persons are doing the same temporarily, you can convince them that you are not residing presently so minimum amount may be taken from you. to keep the apartment clean and secured, it is necessary. However, if you are not satisfied with their state of affairs you can always raise your point in the meeting in which your participation is necessary.

It is not necessary to pay money to an unplanned committees created between persons having no agreement for maintaining society. Unless there is a valid agreement in this case no one can legally enforce for payment.
