Delhi society Tenant charges for use of amenities like gym

Dear Client,
A society can charge membership fees or maintenance charge even for common facilities like Gym or Club house etc separately/additionally with monthly common maintenance charges, if a resolution to that effect is passed by two third majority of vote in a duly convened EC/GB meeting following the provision of Byelaws of the Society and such a resolution is equally applicable on Tenants along with resident members of the society. As a tenant you cannot directly escalate your grievance before the Society. So, you should inform your flat owner to take up the matter with the Society for a resolution in the matter.

Dear Client ,

It is generally not straightforwardly allowed for a Delhi society to levy new, unmentioned gym access charges specifically on tenants after you've moved in and signed your rental agreement, as this was not disclosed as part of your initial terms. While society bye-laws might permit such charges in some cases, tenants contribute to maintenance via their flat owner, and the imposition of a new charge for common amenities, without prior notice or inclusion in the rental agreement, can be seen as discriminatory or a deficiency in service.

Your best course of action is to immediately communicate with your landlord, reminding them that these charges were not part of your agreement, and urge them to take up the issue with the Resident Welfare Association (RWA) as the owner. Concurrently, formally write to the RWA requesting clarification on the legal basis of these charges, citing their bye-laws, and if necessary, consider lodging a complaint with a consumer forum for unfair practice.
