Quick Summary

A homeowner with two flats (101 & 102) under a single sale agreement is disputing double maintenance charges from their society. The society insists on charging for two flats, while the owner believes they should only pay for one due to the single agreement. The consensus is that maintenance is typically levied per flat, regardless of the number of agreements, and the society is likely within its rights to charge double.

Hello, Society can charge maintenance as per area of flat. There can one agreement for 2 flats but maintenance can be calculated as per flat. Take legal action against him.
