AGM decision change
4 months ago

A.Dear Client,
If residents are dissatisfied with the decision to increase maintenance payments, there are certain steps they can take to address their concerns. Firstly, residents should gather support from fellow residents who share similar concerns about the increase. Once a collective stance is formed, residents can request a meeting with the management or committee responsible for the decision.
During this meeting, residents can express their concerns, provide reasons for their opposition, and propose alternatives or compromises. It's crucial to maintain open communication and seek clarification on the reasons behind the increase. Residents may also inquire if there's a possibility to revisit the decision based on the collective feedback.
If the management remains firm on the decision, residents can explore the option of circulating a petition among the community members who oppose the increase. This petition can outline the specific concerns and be presented to the management or committee. Additionally, residents can check if there are any provisions or bylaws within the housing society that address concerns related to fee increases.
If all attempts to address the issue within the community fail, residents may consider seeking legal advice to understand their rights and options. However, legal action should be a last resort, and it's advisable to attempt amicable resolutions first to maintain a harmonious living environment.
Thankyou
