What is the current non occupancy charges for a 2 bhk in Mapuca, Goa
the fee paid by my tenant has a maintenance charge component as mentioned in the document we signed. Yet the society is charging me 5% on the total. Does this not mean that I am paying 5% on the maintenance charges too?
The owner pays to the Municipal Council extra charges for Non Occupancy depending on the agreement made, so paying to the Society 5% is quite alot. A samestandard charge should be levied for all non occupancy rented out
Sir, My self A. M. Raj, Chairman of Diwakar Residency,Patrong,Baina,Vasco da gama, I leave my email id here with a humble request that if any changes in by laws or Act if possible kindly send a mail to intimate.
I am an owner in Socorro garden housing society. We are paying 50000 yearly maintenance to the society. So we understand 5% of maintenance but 5% on rent is ridiculous.
Some owners do not invest in interior’s so though the unit is 4 bedrooms the rent is low. Others like to maintain n invest in interior design and fetch more rent for 2/3 bhk. How can the society ask 5% noc from them?
Your concern about the 5% NOC fee on rent is valid. Maintenance fees are meant to cover society expenses and should not vary based on rental income. Charging a percentage on rent penalizes owners who invest in interiors, leading to unfairly high fees.
A flat or fixed NOC fee, regardless of rent amount, would be a fairer approach. Consider suggesting a discussion with the society to adopt a consistent policy that doesn’t penalize owners for improving their units.
