What are Maintenance Charges?

Maintenance Charges are recurring expenses paid by occupants or owners for regular upkeep of shared spaces. This typically covers services like security, waste disposal, elevator repairs, or landscaping. The charges might differ based on each occupant’s proportionate share (like area usage) or a standard rate set by the managing association.

• Routine Care: Ensures hallways, lobbies, or community amenities remain tidy.
• Repair Funds: Portions might support systematic upgrades or unplanned breakdowns.
• Budget Forecasting: Associations usually release annual estimates, letting members anticipate monthly or quarterly contributions.
• Transparency: Detailed itemizations minimize misunderstandings over how funds are allocated.

By splitting these shared costs across all occupants, maintenance charges guarantee well-maintained facilities that uphold occupant satisfaction and preserve the property’s overall look.
