    What legal claim does a management entity have for unpaid charges?

    Ali Faizan Syed1 min read0 viewsUpdated 1/2/2026
    The Management Entity holds a legal lien on every unit for any unpaid service charges. Because of this lien, a unit may not be disposed of or sold until the outstanding charges are paid in full. If an owner fails to settle their debt within thirty days of receiving a RERA-approved notice, the entity can seek enforcement through an execution judge at the RDSC. This powerful legal mechanism ensures that maintenance funds are collected, protecting the interests of the entire owner community.
