    Can a unit be sold at auction for failing to pay service charges?

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 1/2/2026
    Yes, if an owner defaults on their share of Service Charges, the competent execution judge at the RDSC has the authority to order the sale of the unit by public auction. This measure is taken to recover the unpaid charges owed to the management entity. In addition to the principal debt, the defaulting owner is responsible for paying all associated court fees, costs, and advocates� fees adjudged during the process. This highlights the legal importance of maintaining timely payments for building maintenance.
