        Our society is in Mulund and is three years old. The society got formed without the support of developer. We have a policitally influencial person in society who owned the land before the building got constructed. Now this person owns 6 flats in the society but has not paid a single rupee towards the monthly outgoings. He has given all the flats on rent as well. When the society ask for payment, he sends his buddies from municipal corporation to harass the society over trivial issues like someone installing grill, non payment of some random bill etc. People are scared of this person.

        What is the legal way to make him clear his dues without society getting involved?

          As a society you can disconnect some services to the said person and block all the legal documentations.

              Are you a lawyer? You can’t disconnect anything or else, the court will be in his favor. If you’re not a lawyer then do not give your opinion on how things should be. Legal advice only.

                  Yes, I am a lawyer. It’s rightful to remove connection and block services if the person is defaulter for years as in OP’s case. Just serve him notices threatening blocking services and if he fails to comply you should proceed.

                  Non-payment of society due for years, doesn’t entitle you for the services for lifetime. Use your common sense as well.

                      How about hiding more important details like you did in the first comment? Do you expect people coming here for legal advice with no idea about laws to use common sense? I’m not a lawyer, and yet I could see how your first advice was lacking the most important part: serving legal notice first. I’ve seen cases where people cut electricity and water connections of illegal tenants and the courts asked the landlord to resume it as it’s basic human right. At least give complete information if you wanna give it. You’re a lawyer man?

                          Incase the rental agreement is finished or breached like here, no payment for maintenance

                          Since there is no rental agreement left anymore, can we cut supplies to our flat to remove illegal tenants?

                          NAL here

                        Not a lawyer but i live in a society with such a political person but the advantage we have is we have even more well connected people living in our society. The only problem we face from him is the delays in payment. It is a pain to get payment from that guy.

                              Just do the need. Keep sending the bills. Acumulated bills will attract interest/fine. Keep it going. In GB meeting, mention the dues. Let everyone know why maintaining the society tasks is difficult because dues are not cleared.

                                  Also if I’m not wrong he can’t legally sell the flats until he clears the dues.Β

                                      Yes. Also, he may not be interested in selling. Unless the society keeps the record of dues, at some stage, he will say, I had no idea.

                                          The owner does not stay. Only tenants.

                                                  Tenants pay rent to owner. Owner saheb does not pay maintenance.

                                                          It’s different in every state. In many states, the maintenance fee is not taken separately from tenants and is included in the rent, which is paid directly to the owner of the flat. The owner is liable to pay the maintenance.

                                                          As an aside to this – i think society NOC is required for leave and license agreements. Not a lawyer so don’t know about the law in this regard. But society can withhold the NOC required in those cases if possible

                                                    In this specific case the matter may be complex.

                                                    Was there any agreement, even verbal, between this politician-owner and the developer that he would not be paying maintenance as part of the development deal?

                                                        We don’t know. Nobody knows. And if anyone asks this way, the answer is predictable. Builder is non reachable.

                                                          Stop giving services on the flat, other than electricity and water.

                                                          If the rental people are using it after giving them a notice, put a fine everytime.
