Maintenance fee of 6 owners hiked: They fight & win
Six residents of a Vile Parle housing society challenged their monthly maintenance fees increase in court. The housing society raised the fees by Rs 71,429 in June, July, and August 2024, allegedly to cover legal costs from their lawsuits. The residents argued the charges were unlawful and aimed to label them as defaulters. On October 14, 2026, the Maharashtra State Co-operative Appellate Court ruled in their favor, ordering the housing society to cease the practice immediately and refund the money collected.
