Non issuance of maintenance receipt

508 votes

You can issue a formal legal notice to the association through an advocate demanding issuance of maintenance receipts for payments already made, citing your right to proper accounting under applicable cooperative society or apartment association laws. Mention that non-issuance constitutes deficiency in service and financial irregularity. While you may express intent to withhold future maintenance until receipts are issued, it is advisable not to stop payments unilaterally, as it may be construed as default. Instead, deposit future maintenance amounts in a separate escrow or advocate's account and inform the association that the funds will be released upon compliance. You may also escalate the issue to the Registrar of Societies or relevant housing board authority for regulatory intervention.
