Latest Answer: Maintenance charges has to be paid irrespective of whether the property is used by owner, tenant or left vacant. Every society will have its byelaw stating its maintenance charges and penalty for non-payment. In your case, I recommend you can communicate with the assocaition or society concern member and come for practical solution
