An encumbrance (bond) registered for the purpose of a family flat is essentially a promise to do certain work and/or to pay a sum of money if any condition of the encumbrance is breached, including the requirement to do work.
The form of encumbrance currently used for family flats is a bond without cash payment. The bond sum will be $5000, payable if the encumbrance is breached.
