Hello Sir,
As a property owner, he would has signed a contract or lease when he bought his property which means he is legally obliged to pay his service charges. If he do not pay, the OMC can take legal action against him. Any outstanding debts he has to the OMC can be tied to his property – for example, if he sells his property, the OMC can get a court judgment for his debts to be deducted from the money he gets once the sale has gone through.
