1) you should form a cooperative society of all the 8 flat owners .

2) in case society is formed recovery of dues from defaulters is easier as you can follow the summary procedure

3) you can recover interest at 21 %pa from the defaulters if they fail to make payment

4) there can be proper management of the affairs of the society as managing committee would be elected by all members in AGM

There is nothing you can do. Let every member look after his flat on his own instead of making a joint poll. There are no legal rights which you can assert against them.

Hi, it is better you have to register the association as per the apartment act and thereafter you have to make resolutions for the things which need to be corrected if they fails to follow the rules you have to file a suit in the name of the Association.

After the completion of construction and handing over the flats/apartments, it becomes the duty of the builder/promoter to maintenance services to the apartments for a period of at least two years within which the flat owners shall constitute an association following the prescribed procedures envisaged in law.

As a matter of fact the builder shall have to register a document known as Deed of Declaration under registration act 1908. The Deed of Declaration shall contain the details about the extent of property, all common areas, limited common areas and facilities, description of building and all apartments. It will also specify the percentage undivided ownership share for each apartment. It has to be certified by an architect that the plans are accurate and has been built as per what is approval by the local body.

You may consult other flat owners and decide about forming association.
