I have a flat in a G+2 apartment in Hyderabad. Building consists of 8 apartments & 1 pent house. The person in charge of maintenance has been unfair to few flat owners / tenants and also being aggressive towards the people that question the sanity of the maintenance amounts distribution. Further, the so called association (no formal association exists) aka the maintainer has decided to erect water meters for each flat and constructed separate overhead tanks for each apartment utilising the undivided common area on the open terrace. Is this erection legal? There are 3 apartments that didn't invest in this and they are forced to bear the remaining cost of water charges after the amounts per meter reading are reduced which turns out to be twice or more than the people with water meters are bearing. The person incharge for maintenance also resorts to intimidation if questioned. Is there any law or guidelines around apartment maintenance & usage of undivided common area for erection of additional water tankers without formal consent from the owners?
