8.To decide the basis of sharing leakage expenses.
( 1/3rd to be borne by the society and 1/3rd each to be borne by both the flat holders where the leakage is occurring).
The Hon. Secretary informed the members that may societies had adopted the policy that leakage expenses should be shared in three parts. 1/3rd to be borne by the society , 1/3rd to be borne by the member residing in the upper floor from there the leakage originates and 1/3rd to be borne by the member who is effected by the said leakage. The Hon. Secretary informed the members that the idea behind sharing the expenses in the above said ration was that members co-operate with one another and the repair work can be taken up expeditiously . After discussion it was decided that expenses of leakage should be shared by the two parties and the society under the ratio of 1/3rd each and the below mentioned resolution was passed.
RESOLUTION NO.:-
RESOLVED THAT expenses of leakage should be shared 1/3rd by the society . 1/3rd by the member who occupies the flat where the leakage originates and 1/3rd by the members in which the leakage is there.
Proposed By
Seconded By
Carried Unanimously/By Majority
Note: It has been observed that the person residing in the upper flat is general reluctant to co-operate as the leakage might result in breaking the Marble/Granite item fixed by the member. In such circumstances it is our opinion such expenses have to be incured by the member residing on the upper floor only. Office Bearers of the society are rendering honorary services. In case the parties are not in a position to arrive at an amicable settlement then we would advise the office bearers of the society to pass a resolution and grant the necessary authority to the member who is suffering on account of such leakage to take up the matter with the competent authorities . In our opinion even if the office bearers forcibly enters the flat and get the repair work done after giving sufficient notice to the member residing on the upper floor, the police and the MMC authorities than also the office bearers may not be committing an offence of trespass. However the office bearers are advised that they should obtain legal advise before proceeding in such matters and as far as possible the authority should be delegated to the member who is suffering on account of such leakage.

Carried Unanimously/By Majority.
Note: Society can also pass a resolution that parking slots of defaulters would be forfeited . This can cause mental torture to the defaulters . In our opinion , parking of vehicle is not an essential service . Many fights occur in society because of parking problems. In Municipal records normally parking space is shown as open space. Yet it is open secret that many builders are selling the same. Mere payment of money to anyone does not give the purchaser the ownership rights of the particular space. This is a controversial issue and one should obtain a legal opinion before purchasing an open space. In any case if the agreement and should be registered . One should not pay money to the builder just on the basis of a letter allotting parking space. It may also be mentioned that the said instrument should be registered and the proper stamp duty on the same should also be paid.

Secretary suggestion that Non Occupancy Charges should be recovered from the members who has subletted their flats. The Hon. Secretary invited the views of the members about the quantum of charges that should be collected towards Non Occupancy Charges if members had sub-letted/ given premises under a Leave & Licence Agreement . There was detailed discussion and it was decided that a sum of Rs. (Rupees _________________________ Only) per sq. Feet Carpet Area be recovered from members who have subletted their premises. It was further decided that the outsider will not be allowed to park the vehicle in the Society’s premises and the following resolution was passed.

Note: While fixing the Contract with the Accountant it is advisable to insist for quarterly Trial Balance, Income & Expenditure Account, Receipts & Payment Account & Balance Sheet.

Note: Out of experience it is our suggestion that every society must appoint a Manager. In case the workload is less, then the society should appoint a part time Manager. The idea behind the same is that the valuable time of the office bearers can be devoted for other constructive work. It is our humble suggestion that the members must be told to submit their grievances through the Manager. If your society requires a manager for say three hours a day it is our suggestion that the Manager be appointed for four hours a day because some of the Managers are know for promising many things at the time of appointment and the reality is …. ?

Note: It is strongly emphasized that the nominee is merely a trustee. He does not become the owner of the property . Manager must in his own interest make a will. There are two types of nomination forms. One for a singly nominee and the other for more than one nominee . In our opinion filing a nomination form of more than one nominee will not have much meaning because after the death of the member the society has to transfer the flat in the name of the first nominee. The societies normally insist for an affidavit from all the heirs that they have no objection if the society transmit the flat in the name of the nominee. In case of disputes the societies normally insist for succession certificate. Legally the nominee is a trustee. The nominee does not get the ownership rights in the property just because the nomination is field . Members are advised that they should make a will and should also get the same registered. We may add that we help the members in drafting the will and getting the same registered.

FURTHER RESOLVED THAT any additional work should be undertaken by Shri X . only after obtaining the written permission of the Hon. Secretary .
FURTHER RESOLVED THAT payment should be made to the Contractor only after the work has been certified by the Architect.
Note: While allotting major repairs work utmost care should be taken . In our opinion the cheapest offer is not a always the best offer. Give a reasonable amount of profit to the Contractor willingly. Always insist for quality . Always insist that the Contractor or his Representative must have give in writing the weekly work done by him and work he proposes to take up in the next week. Tell the Contractor to make an informal commitment about the number of employees that would be attending the society’s work every day. With a view to get the work done on schedule insist for a penalty clause if the work is delayed beyond the stipulated period . This can eliminate the Contractors who do patch up type of work.

Note: It is our experience that many bankers are in the habit of putting a rubber stamp on fixed deposits stating that the fixed deposit is for sinking fund amount . In fact they ask these questions at the time you go to invest the amount. You can tell the bank firmly that it is not business of the bank to ask for such information . There have been a number of incidences when banks have inside for registrars permission before parting with funds in case of premature withdrawal of fixed deposits. Societies should also close there current accounts and operate the savings account. This things are not liked by the bankers but getting interest could be of interest to your society.
