Paying premium society maintenance is a massive rental trap

Does high maintenance actually protect your resale value after five years? I'm checking out a 3BHK in Prestige West Woods for rental yield, but looking at old maintenance logs changed my perspective. ₹5.5 per sqft dekar bhi if seepage and lift downtime starts, tenants instantly negotiate rent down. A friend shared a hack to check basement ceiling joints for water leakage before quoting. Honestly I had no idea. Ab samajh nahi aa raha if fancy amenities actually fetch premium rent over time. Any similar inspection tips you swear by?
