06-Feb-2023 (In Property Law)
I have a vacant flat in a gated community the association is pressuring to pay charges in full though i have told tmem i will pay the fixed charges buy they sau it is not in bye laws kindly advice
Hi, If you are the owner of the flat, you will need to pay for maintenance in full irrespective of whether the flat is occupied or not.the reason being that maintenance fees are costs incurred for upkeep of common areas( security, lighting, cleaning etc). Also you are not liable to pay maintenance if the fee pertains to provision of mandatory services like electricity and water to your flat as these are consumption based charges and you are liable to pay only minimal charges specified by these service providers.
