Maintenance charges for unoccupied flat

Dear Sir

I had a purchased a flat 2 years ago and the property was handed over 10 months back but am yet to occupy the flat due to additional changes and my personal issues. meantime the flat association has been threatening me to pay for the maintenance charges . I have requested them since i am yet to occupy the flat , I had told them will pay immediately upon my occupation, but they are not agreeing and are sending me rreminders thru registered post.

Can you please guide me on the procedure of maintenance chargess payment. Moreover they have fixed charges at avery exorbitantly. How to overcome this without getting into any issues.

Please help me out

Tks

Raja

Maintenance charges are an inescapable reality for every apartment owner. People living in apartments or housing societies have to pay a considerable sum of money every month as maintenance charges to the society. Now if you are living in an apartment and paying the charges then it is your onus to make sure that the charges are being spent judicially for your benefit.
