Apartment, collecting money without any bills and threatening


29-Jun-2026 (In Civil Law)
I stay in an apartment, which is not been registered. But they collect maintenance of Rs 800/- monthly, for which no proper bills were shown also in addition to that they collect excess sum of money in thousands stating that to maintain adequate balance in account. No proper account were maintained. Now they are asking Rs 5000/- for CCTV, for which we said we don't require as we have our own CCTV which was which was installed in 2022. They alse started threatening that they will harm us.

Dear Client, 1. An unregistered association cannot levy arbitrary charges without transparency. Demand audited accounts and receipts. If threats continue, lodge a police complaint and take appropriate legal action to restrain illegal collections. 2. Consult an advocate to discuss your case in brief. 3. You may schedule an appointment regarding your case by phone or email at your convenience. Thanks & regards, Priyanka Advocate Coimbatore

Hello Sir/Mam, For each apartment or a community should have an association and have to draft your particular bylaws for your welfare. if not then we can take a civil action against them accordingly under the appropriate Laws. It will be better if you contact an Advocate for a detailed explanation. thank you
