Adarsh Palm Retreat Tower 1 is not at all renter friendly. Other towers(2 & new ones) are much better and organised.
Many Issues are there:
Maintenance fees: Crazy calculation of maintenance which can amount to 8K - 10K per month.
Greedy Owners: Just to trouble tenants, association asking for huge maintenance for 6 months in the past. Owners making tenants pay for entire maintenance.
Poor cost Management: As mostly tenants are paying maintenance, there is minimal control on maintenance costs from association.
Illegal Maintenance collection: Without an RWA, Association asking for maintenance which is illegal.
Traffic Issues: Although traffic issues are everywhere in Bangalore. But many times, you will spend 30-40 min just to get out of Adarsh onto Ring Road because of offices within Adarsh complex.
Degrading quality: In spite of huge maintenance being charged, the maintenance & house keeping quality is degrading everyday.
