Property Law
Common Area Maintenance
Charges collected from flat owners or tenants in a building or complex to cover the upkeep of shared spaces and facilities.
Maintenance charges typically cover expenses like security, cleaning, common electricity, and upkeep of shared amenities, and are usually apportioned among owners based on their unit's size or an agreed formula set out in the society's bye-laws.
Persistent non-payment of maintenance charges can, depending on the society's bye-laws, lead to restrictions on using common facilities or formal recovery action.
