Hi,
I bought a apartment in chennai 5 years ago which was built on a 1 plot of size 2400 sq ft and has a total of 5 apartments out of which 4 of the apartment owners are cooperative and having trouble with one apartment owner. The problem is he never assessed his apartment with local municipality for property tax estimation and not trying to initiate one. But he rents his apartment and earns rent from the same apartment for the past 5 yrs. Since he never assessed nor paid the property tax we couldn't get the municipal water connections, drainage connection etc for our apartment since the authorities says unless all apartments pays their latest property tax and DEPOSIT MONEY the connections could not be given.
The person is so adamant and we face constant issues with him all the times and he never cooperates and indeed he is well educated and in Good Position. He is hesitant to pay the minimum maintenance when the apartment is vacant.
Could you please give a guidance/Advise to get a solution to this problem.
Thanks
