after vp is it possible i dun pay maintenance for long period like 3-5 yrs? then pay one time after selling? they will charge the interest or not ah?

depending on the management committee, usually they will fetch you warning letter, some resort to cutting your water/electricity. Deny your car park access and etc. Last resort is issue lawyer letter.

This is governed in the 1985 strata titles act clauses 52-55recovery of sum as debt due to management corporation.

Mgmt Corp (MC) will need to serve letters to the owner. If the owner continue to repeatedly ignore the letters, MC can apply to court to serve a warrant of attachment to the owner's belongings in the building. The attached belongings can be auctioned off if the owner still dont want to pay after a certain period. Finally the owner can be fined up to RM5000 and further fine of up to RM50/daily if contribution remains unpaid after conviction.

wow... meaning cannot skip maintenance fees lar.. what if strata release after 1-2 yrs? can skip or not? will still bind to strata agreement?

must pay...nw new act legal proceeding from JMB or mgmt wuld be much cheaper...

I have a case here to ask for opinion: There is mismanagement of previous Management Corporation that doesn't do properly their job in Management Fee collection. My sis bought over a unit whereby she already check with the previous tenant that no outstanding management fee. (Now obviously previous tenant lie on this).After few years, change of new management company, suddenly ask for the outstanding amount incurred by the previous tenant to current owner. The first thing is how do the management at that time allow property transfer before they validate all previous owner outstanding management fee settle??Why we the new owner must bare the cost since it is the responsibility of management to validate outstanding fee together with the lawyer film whom in-charge of this property sales?Since my sis take over as owner, she never miss up even 1 month to pay management fee on time for the fee incurred all time along her ownership.Now the management block our access card into the condo. Could we the owner take legal action towards the management for the denied access to condo due the their fault of not settling the outstanding debt with previous owner? If we would like to take legal action, is this can make through Hal Ehwal Pengguna?Is management act of block access card is valid or legal in this condition?If it is not legal we would collect up the evidence of the management act and prepare for sue in court.

Any legal action of the owner can be taken against the management in this condition?Can we bring the access card block case to Hal Ehwal Pengguna? I want to ask the act of denied access by management due to their fault of fail to settle outstanding fee with previous owner is it valid or legal? If this is not valid, we would collect evidence of management denied our access into condo to get them sued.

bought over from previous owner i presume
for the sale to happen, the management office will need to issue a letter to declare that the previous owner has no outstanding management fees

ask your lawyer about this letter and it should help you clear your name.

You need consent from management otherwise no change of details allowed hence you gotto pay up before all things are cleared for transfer!

Hi.. Recently the management like install access card facility at the lift... Is tat really lawful? Or just abusing the word common facility.

One thing to ponder.
Who decides the maintenance rate and the justification of such rates?
And how do we know they are actually using it for the condo upkeeping rather than swindling it for personal gain?

I don't see how it is an unlawful move.

Life is a common facility that under under JMB/MC management.

It is for security reason, I don't see how it hurts the owner benefit.

No standard rate, it depends on JMB/MC to balance the book in term of financial.

JMB/MC is voted in by the owner of property, so in other word owners themselves decide.

Any maintenance fee payment is paid to MC account, not to any personal.
While the account needs to be audited every year.

MC is the body to ensure the money is well managed, so owner must vote in the committee carefully to ensure the committee talk well care on the money collected.

yes its lawful. in fact its a good idea. the lift cost a lot to maintain u know.

if no pay = walk stair.

I presume the above also applicable to tenant and their visitors?
