Club house and monthly charges

HI ! MY friend are the owners of 2 units in a apartment, these have been combined to form a single unit and the total number of residents in the combined unit is 3 - single widowed mother and 2 Childers. They are US citizen and PIO. They have been paying the maintenance for the both the units on time. The swimming pool charges are charged per flat basis separate from the maintenance charges, for which they have been paying for a single unit. The point of dispute was as they are a single family of 3 they will pay for a single unit for swimming pool. A few days before, they were threatened with degratory remarks on phone by the president of MC and the power for the 2nd flat was disconnected for 4 - 5 hours, to settle the issue the disputed amount of swimming pool charges for the 2nd flat was also paid. Even then the power was not restored, then finally the local police were approached to file criminal charges, at the police station they agreed to discuss it at a later date and hence the compliant was not filed. On the next day a notice was circulated stating that swimming pool charges will be clubbed with maintenance charges and in case of default garbage segration and maintenance service of electrician and plumber will not be provided. Our question is : 1. can they disconnect power ? arbitrarily.. 2. as a MC can they threaten a individually specially a single lady with 2 children - all this message is in on whatspp. 3. can the charges be collected just based on a notice being issued. 4. Is it mandatory to pay Clubhouse charges for the second flat with the same occupant, where clubhouse charges are being paid. 5. can a legal action be taken against the MC for disconnection of power. Regards, Rajan

You have yourself posted that the swimming pool  charges are per unit/flat.

So society is right.

You have paid the pending charges.

Rest relate with society bye laws/rules framed in accordance with Model Bye laws and relate.

If electricity charges  are paid then it should  not be disconnected.

Likewise other services.

The police had assured for meeting.

Take help and get your issues resolved.
