a. tnb is always base on usage not title. since this is residential purpose then the rate will be domestic rate  (resi rate)
b. i)assessment for service apartment (this case) is 5% vs resi is 4%
ii)i dont think u can change the rate, but u can appeal the annual value (usually base on annual estimate rental)

water rate is up to management to decide, mostly initially their bulk meter is base on commercial rate so office will charge u commercial rate too. JMB/MC can later apply to migrate to Syabas, then the rate will base on residential rate

TNB is calculated based on (residential/commercial rate * useage) . There's 2 different rate for either residential or commercial title. My SA told me that the developer is currently applying to change it back to residential rate for tnb so initially without the conversion the rate will definitely be commercial rate.

pls cehck tnb website https://www.tnb.com.my/residential/pricing-tariffs/

tariff Rates is base on usage
“Domestic Consumer” means a consumer occupying a private dwelling, which is not used as a hotel, boarding house or used for the purpose of carrying out any form of business, trade, professional activities or services.

"Local government and development laws expert Derek Fernandez confirmed that buyers of residential property with commercial titles had to pay commercial rates for water, electricity, land taxes and assessment. "

I've done alot of research and almost all told me we need to pay commercial rates unless we managed to apply to TNB to change it back to residential rates. And that is what my SA told me as well,  that the developer is applying to TNB for residential rates.  (because otherwise we need to pay commercial)

Correct me if im wrong but my understanding is that commercial titled properties can be used to run a business so we need to pay commercial rates unless we applied and prove that its for residence only, so if nothing were done or no application is filed, we are actually going to be billed with commercial rate by default.

those assessment fee and quit rent? possible to change from commercial to residential title? example for kl trader square type?

how about quit rent?

taking some pictures of KL view this afternoon and spotted KL Traders Square.

wow.. whats that blue building?

i see.. hearsay project changed to new name ady?

Hi, I've recently booked a unit @ KL Traders Square only to realise that the property is in commercial title.    I've some queries I hope someone would be able to help me here.

a) I've saw that some says that the developer is trying to help us convert TNB back to residential rate. Can anyone confirm this? If developer fails, how is the success rate if we are to apply ourselves after handover of key?

b) As for the assessment rate, I've heard that:-

i) we can apply to convert our title back to residential to enjoy residential quit rent and assessment rate. Is this true and historically has people actually managed to convert their title?

ii) we can appeal the rate and has to attend hearings to change our rate. Is this true and if the appeal is sucessful does this mean we could enjoy residential rate or does the rate get revised in accordance to their justification? (which might be more than residential rate)

c) I've heard that for KL Trader's Square area the rate is 4% for residential and 7% for commercial, can someone confirm this?

d)Quit Rent seems to be not an issue since the amount is immaterial, i saw that residential is RM0.035/square feet but couldn't find the commercial rate. Anyone to advise?

Many Thanks in advance
