Upgrading a sky dish...

Hi

Not sure if this is correct place to post but hope someone can help.
I own a flat in a block which we have a mangament company who deals with cleaning and maintenance etc. We currently have a communal sky dish on the roof. I have received a letter from the management company saying they have a had a request from 1 owner to have the sky dish upgraded to sky plus and they requuire £35 from each flat to pay for this. I have virgin and have no intention of using sky plyus. Do I need to pay 'my share' of this? I haven't yet contacted the managment co.

I don't see why I should have to pay for something I have no intention of using!!!

Thanks

  • Maybe they're just canvassing for opinion at the moment? If they got letters back from all owners saying 'yeah, great' then it'd be something they'd go ahead with - I can't imagine they can force you to pay for something that is not necessary
