Fine recovery from maintenance paid

Dear Sir/Madam,
My society decided to levy fine on dog owners who relieve their pets in common as areas and this fine will be recovered from the advance maintenance charges paid. Is this legally allowed to deduct someone's money without their consent?

please advise

thanks

Quick Summary

A resident is questioning whether their society can legally deduct fines for pet owners allowing their dogs to relieve themselves in common areas directly from their paid maintenance charges. The consensus is that this is a valid decision, provided it was approved by the AGM and communicated to all members, as it pertains to maintaining the cleanliness of the premises for everyone.
