Answers:
if there is clause in your agreement that you have to bear the whole cooprative charges, you can not force your landlord. The only way is to negotiate tactfully with him and hope for good.

Consult the Municipal Corporation for more details on this....

Maintenance charges on flat etc are to be collected by the society or flat owners association etc as per the bye laws of the society. If there is any deviation from it, you can demand explanation.
As can be seen from your question many of the charges are service charges, like maintenance, water charges, association subscription etc. The maintenance and water charges are normally to be borne by those who are using the flat. In your case, since you have given it for rent, these charges must have included in the rent. Municipal tax is statutory one, hence is to be paid.
You are therefore advised to verify with your society why the increase in the charges. There may be a rise in all these charges. If you feel that these charges are exorbitant and there is no reason to increase the charges, you can raise your voice against such action.
