Complaints against General Body Meeting

• Issues related to maintenance of the property
• Not displaying society’s name board
• Not allowing members access to common spaces
• Charging excessive fines, maintenance, other dues
• Failure to insure the property

How to submit a complaint to the Managing Committee?

The member should submit a written or typed online complaint to registrar of societies and the managing committee, explaining the dispute/complaint against the society member in full detail to any office-bearer of the society.

In the next committee (after the complaint is received), the Managing Committee reviews the complaint, takes a decision and communicates it to the member within 15 days.

If the members do not receive any communication from the Committee within 15 days, they can approach any competent authorities for redressal of their complaints. A copy of the original complaint letter should also be attached to the escalation complaint.

In cases that are not so cut and dried and require extensive study of legal loopholes and workarounds, members should think about hiring an experienced lawyer (preferably specialising in real estate laws) who can bear the load and present a winning case. As such, housing societies have their own legal advisor/consultant or lawyer who does a good enough job of defending it if trouble befalls. Members who want to present a solid case with all legal intricacies and technicalities covered in a complex situation, should be better off with legal counsel.

Below is a classification of complaints and the competent authority for members to approach.

Disputes that fall under the purview of the Registrar

• Non-issuance of share certificates
• Refusal of membership
• Exorbitant premium demand
• Refusal to produce account books and registers for inspection/ tampering or destruction of records

• Managing Committee resolutions
• Disputes with election of managing committee (except nomination refusal)
• High construction cost, disputes with appointment of architect or redeveloper
• Water supply issues and high maintenance/recovery

Where to complaint against society secretary or committee members

Living in a housing society is akin to being in a committed relationship, except it gets murkier when things go awry as they sometimes do. We’ve all been in catch-22 situations where if a problem persists, we are damned if we try to solve it and damned if we don’t. After all, it is better to resolve a conflict or dispute peacefully in a way that is acceptable to both parties. If however, the society has been functioning to the detriment of its members, causing unbearable inconvenience, they have the power to right the wrong. Luckily, there are laws that guard you against real and present danger (and even inconvenience) posed to you by incompetent, ruthless, or negligent committee members. This post covers how you can register an online complaint against a housing society, the different problems that may arise for members in a housing society, and various ways for redressal.

And anyone who’s ever given cleaning those stains a try knows how exhausting the process might be. Hence, knowing a couple of tips and tricks on how to clean your bathroom tiles and floor with acid can come in handy. Using acids can be an easy solution to those stubborn grit and grime, especially within those tile gaps and f

There are many ways to clean your bathroom and a few of those methods are easy to carry out:

• Cleaning it every day after everyone is done with the shower and so. Just take a damp cloth and wipe out all the water droplets that are there.
• Cleaning once a week with basic soaps and scrubs. If you are a working professional, you can only get time to give a hand cleaning a try on weekends and holidays.

For hard water filtration, you can simply purchase water softening filters that can be installed in your tap and shower system. The only issue is that these machines can be a bit on the expensive side.

Here is a detailed answer to the never-ending query: how can I clean my bathroom tiles and floor with acid? But why is this one of the most searched queries? Because it’s easy, offers better results and lasting effects.

One of the most easily accessible items for home use is muriatic acid/Hydrochloric acid. This colourless, ultra-pungent solution can remove soap scum and hard water deposits from bathroom tiles. You can buy this acid at any nearby medical store or general store that is licensed to sell such strong acid solutions.

It’s always good to prepare before taking up such cleaning tasks so that you don’t need to make any last-minute runs to buy anything.

To get good results and shiny bathroom tiles and floors by using such harsh chemicals, here are a few steps that need to be followed:

Preparing the surface

Just like we wash our faces before starting with any beauty treatment to get better results, we need to prepare our floor and tiles.

Before you get started, clean all the freshly collected dust and eliminate all the hair collected around the drain area. It will make cleaning a little mess-free, and you will have less of a wet and dreadful residue left later to manage. When finished with this first stage of cleanup, we can move ahead to the next phase, which is to prepare the acid wash solution:

Mix 1 cup of Hydrochloric acid/cleaner with five parts of lukewarm water. If you are dealing with an industry-based acid, take a look at the instructions given by the brand. Check the exact ratio of acid to water that needs to be mixed because it might change based on surface types.

Applying the acid/acid wash

It’s always good to start with a smaller portion to test the product. Keep in mind not to use a larger quantity at once. If you are new to this cleaning process, this acid solution might act fast or leave highly acidic fumes when used in a high quantity in an enclosed place like your bathroom.

Water the desired tile area using a spray, or you can splash water using a mu. Then apply the acid solution to the wet surface with the help of a sponge or mop and scrub gently. Flush the scrubbed surface with water and similarly move on to the next section. Repeat this process over the entire bathroom floor, making sure the surface you are working on is wet before applying the layer of acid mixture.

Scrubbing methods and motions that can be used

• Scrubbing and mopping in a circular motion can be observed as one of the most effective ways as it gets into all the grit and grime.
• Scrubbing vertically and horizontally between the tiles and curbs to get into those gaps and joins that have grown black or dark looking mold.
• Scrubbing with breaks and scrubbing in small intervals allow the acid to cut off the dirt.

Neutralising using baking soda

The next important step is to stop the acid reaction so that it wouldn’t damage the tiles. Wash all the hydrochloric acid mixture off the bathroom floor using water after you are finished cleaning. Leaving this acid on the floor can be harmful to you and the floor. Sometimes just washing the floor is not enough due to the high acidic nature of this chemical solution. You might need to neutralise this strong product using baking soda.

These steps will help you neutralise the surface:

First, mix 1 cup of baking soda into a bucket full of lukewarm water. Mop the floor with the mixture to start the neutralising process. Leave it on for a few minutes, then rinse the floor with plain water and let it dry for 24 hours.

Tips for a better and hassle-free cleaning experience

There are a couple of things that you ought to remember before you start this “How to clean bathroom tiles and floor with acid” DIY project.

Any fans that can keep the air flowing in the area can be helpful and will help you avoid getting suffocated due to hazardous acid fumes.

Precaution measures

If you, by any chance, come in direct contact with this acid, wash the area under running water until the burning sensation goes down and then you can rush to the nearest ER.
