Why homebuyers must verify unpaid maintenance dues before buying a flat
Housing societies are legally entitled to recover outstanding maintenance dues from new flat owners, even if the dues were accumulated by the previous owner. Local laws and society bylaws determine who bears responsibility for such unpaid charges. Buyers who end up paying these dues may have recourse to recover the amount from the original owner, depending on the terms of the sale agreement. To avoid financial liability after purchase, experts strongly advise obtaining a written no-dues certificate from the housing society before finalising any deal.
