Windsor Estates homeowners complain about defects
of facilities, including those that were promised but are not yet in place.
However, they said the decision resulted in management of the community barring some residents from using the main entrance.
A handful of residents on Thursday tried to enter the community using the entrance but they were denied access and told to use an alternate entrance. But residents refused, explaining that the alternate entrance, which is used by the contractors
who are working on phase two of the housing development, is too muddy for them.
Parker said that with the contract she signed, they were required to pay a $10,000 per month fee that was only to be paid when all the amenities are installed. “But they had not installed the infrastructure and came to us to pay a fee even though the contract said the fee cannot be raised before two years,” she explained.
She stressed that they are currently seeking to raise the fee by 5% per annum, which must be paid in US or Guyanese currency at an exchange rate of $216 to $1.
“They want another raise. This is from the people who have not completed their part. But I went and took the fee with the whole 5% increase but they did not accept it,” Parker explained.
The company has said it refused to accept payment after refusal by the customer to adhere to the standard exchange rate being utilised by local commercial banks.
The residents explained that they decided to cease paying the monthly fee since October but it was only two weeks ago that they were barred from using the main entrance.
