The residents claimed that since 2020, they have each been paying maintenance at a rate of 1,600 before it was increased to 1,800 six months ago.
For such expensive prices, they claim, the complex does not include amenities like a gym, party rooms, a mini-theatre, or a swimming pool. In the tenements, resident groups had declined to take on maintenance on their own, claiming that not all the homes were inhabited and the towers had numerous quality issues.
According to Block Eight Residents Welfare Association President Suresh C. Nair, the walls had extensive fractures, cement dust was constantly dropping, the elevators weren't working, and trash had been thrown under the tiles. He also posed some queries about calling for such maintenance if the job wasn't completed.
