Hi All
Need some advice in dealing with a fine from my apartment association in Bangalore.
I have a small pet who sometimes roams off leash just outside our door (like within 5 feet) with owners present. Yesterday he ran down when the door was opened by the maid.
He was brought back within a couple of mins and had no interaction with anyone.
Some uncle saw this and now the association is making a big ruckus.
It started with a message on a WhatsApp group and suddenly a couple of hours later with no discussion with use or any sort of meeting or warning, the association said that u need to pay a fine of 10K in 3 days else we will take further action.
Obviously I refused to pay since this is very arbitrary and seems like bullying.
I am a tenant BTW.
Now they are messaging again to pay or face further action. What are my options here? What are the authorities I can approach for this ?
And can the association levy such a hefty fine?
Thanks
