    Can an owner refuse to pay charges if they don't use the common areas?

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 1/2/2026
    No, Article (28) explicitly states that an owner may not refrain from paying Service Charges or Usage Charges approved by RERA. Furthermore, an owner cannot waive their interest in Common Parts as a tactic to avoid these financial obligations. This legal provision ensures the financial stability of the community, as the maintenance of shared assets is a collective responsibility that does not depend on an individual's personal use of those facilities.
