Our apartment complex, SLS Splendor in Bangalore, recently introduced an extra Rs. 500 monthly charge for tenanted properties, despite only a small fraction of residents attending the meeting where the decision was made. This feels unfair, as it seems to benefit a select group of owners while burdening renters. Is there a legal basis to challenge this decision, or is it likely to be upheld in court?

Indian law allows apartment complexes to levy charges for common facilities and services, but these must be reasonable and passed with a majority vote of residents. As only a small fraction attended the meeting, the decision might lack a legitimate majority vote and can be challenged. A legal challenge could argue that the extra charge is unreasonable and benefits only a select group of owners.
