WHO HAS TO BEAR THE COST OF SOCIETY BUILDING TERRACE LEAKAGE?

WHO HAS TO BEAR THE COST OF SOCIETY BUILDING TERRACE LEAKAGE?
I stay along with my mother (a divorcee), elder brother and younger sister on the 4th floor of the building. During the monsoon, we have to face excessive leakage from the roof. On our complaint several times over the years, the society has not carried out any foolproof repairing work, except filling the cracks etc. by cement. We pay regular maintenance, but suffering due to society's negligence. What is the solution? Can we stop paying the maintenance charges or repair it and claim the amount from the society or where I can complain against the society?

As per the bye laws of the society it is the responsibility, of the society to carry out proper repair of the terrace to stop leakage and in case of the failure of the society to maintain the building in a good condition, you may take up the issue with the Dy.Registrar of the Societies; but you cannot retaliate by stopping the payment of the maintenance charges. Similarly you cannot claim the amount from the society, if you carry out the same without the prior written permission of the society.
