Om Shraddha Co-op Hsg society
Non Occupancy charges

Dear Sir,

I have let my house on rent since January. This month the society has asked to clear arrears of non-occupancy charges which they admit should have been charged from the first month of renting my flat but due to their mistake it didnt happen. the non-occupancy charge is standard amount for all size of flats.

1 - should I be paying the arrears which was mistake of the society to have neglected it

2 - is the society eligible to charge the non-occupancy charges as they say the same was decided in one of the AGM

3 - what steps should i take to avoid this? whom should i approach
