Q:I purchased a flat in Chennai, which is not in an co-operative housing society. I had checked that previous owner has already paid Property tax, gas bill,electricity bill. But earlier owner has not paid the maintenance bill of nearly 10 months. Now other flat owners are asking me to pay. so what I should do ?
Latest Answer: Hi Mr Kumar,
As per my knowledge, neighbors should have collected the maintenance bill from previous owner ,not from you. Now this house belongs to you not to your earlier owner. You are suppose to pay the bills & maintenance charge after being the title holder of the flat. It is not possible for you to clear the dues of previous owner on account of maintenance done by other flat owners.
