GURGAON: Residents who live in the city as tenants can now file a complaint against the RWA (residents' welfare association) concerned, if they are asked to pay any 'transfer fee', also known as shifting charges.
According to the office of the district registrar, no transfer fee can be charged from tenants according to the law. "RWAs come up with weird clauses on their own. While RWAs say that the clause pertaining to transfer fee has been agreed upon by the general body, it is actually done to get more money into the RWA account," said an official in the district registrar's office.
Shikhar Kumar (name changed) moved with his family from another part of NCR to the Millennium City. Kumar, who works with an MNC, chose to live in a 3BHK apartment at Suncity Heights, a condominium in Sector 55. He was asked to pay around Rs 5,000 as transfer fee, which is non-refundable.
