Dear All,
I am peaceful owner of a flat in Vijayawada,Andhra Pradesh. I reside in Hyderabad but i own a flat in Vijayawada,Andhra Pradesh and given the flat on Rent.
Since last two years, another flat owner who is also a secretary of our aparments is constantly giving all kinds of troubles to me.
Quick background:
1. Resident Owner Welfare Association was formed in 2007 by the then flat owners, however no bye-laws were formed till date. Since no body is active to manage the maintenance of apartments, one or two people who are owners staying the flats were asked to manage the association in 2013.
2. RWA is Not actively furnishing or following all the rules as per the society act.
3.Secretary of the association is just asked to manage the apartments maintenance by few owners to keep the apartments premises neat.
4.No Receipts will be given for any payments (like maintenance charges , common area repairs etc) made towards association welfare society inspite of request.
My Queries:
Note : I am non local and rented the flat but purchased the flat at my inlaws place for investment.
1.My Tenant is paying monthly maintenance duly on time , however Secretary of the society is causing trouble to my tenant and indirectly to me.
2. I have informed to the president of association but he is not taking any action rather conveys me "someone is looking apartments so i dont intervene".
3. Secretary is creating problems like
a) Disconnecting the power connection , water connection, removing air in tyres of bikes/vehicles of the tenants,speaking rudely to my tenants etc.
4. Secretary and Treasurer of the association are creating nuisance to my tenants always as a result all the tenants who occupy my flat are vacating the flat is 3 to 4 months only.
I informed about the nuisance caused by the association people to the current president and also expresident for action but none of them are taking any actions nor they even talk to him.
I am frightened to go to my flat as they warn me orally and also threaten me if i am seen there so i am mentally disturbed and feared to go to my flat.
Since i am non local and thought of raising police complaint but the association people say no one will care you and police department and every one will not come to your rescue and if i raise any complaint to anyone they will see my end.
I know only one neighbour and they are frightened about them to support me. The Secretary is a strong person in terms of money and influence.
After browsing i found this site and thought someone will help me else i have to sell for whatever cost secretary fixes. This is the only one property which was taken for my livelihood in my later stages of life.
I dont know What to do next and whome to approach to have a peacefull life? Someone please understand and help me... i know i am not clear in explaining but can give details as required.
Thanks
Ram

Reply:
Maintenance should be paid through cheque / Bank transaction, Inform society and Registrar in writing whenever such nuisance is created.

Reply:
If the election of the society is overdue, ask the Registrar to intervene.

reply:
Bring all facts on record, write registered letter on each event to president and the Registrar of societies.
