little bit of grey area there - some mgt office will allow outside the official reno days and hours provided no drilling or anything that
can cause annoyance to your neighbours..

some mgt office will stick strictly to the official reno hours..

So BEST way to do this is to ask your mgt office..

i see...thanks clarify

Does illegal renovation affects issuance of Strata Title? Does the authority actually comes to check the property before releasing the Strata Title?

My apartment block has one unit that modified its façade and hacked the wall. Due to poor Management Office monitoring at that time, the owner managed to get away with this illegal renovation. The JMB said the previous property management company did file a complaint with Tribunal but then JMB also has no record of such filing.

Then file a fresh complaint. If anything, it will prompt a response from the owner or the Tribunal.

Noted. Will try to get their contact n pass on to you. Cheers

This is their contact: 0322011913

Does anyone here know if a JMB needs any kind of approval before increasing maintenance fees and sinking fund? My condo just raised it by almost 70% from 100.10 a month to 170 a month.

Also is the JMB allowed to list / print and stick a notice showing all the unit owners numbers / names and amount owned on each block?

Appreciate any kind of information here.

Yes. By tabling the audit and budget and getting consent from the owners at the AGM. Did you attend the recent AGM?

Yes. Allowed to publish defaulters list as according to the Act. Don't like it? Then be a good payee. Everyone needs to play their role in a condo.

70% increase is a big jump, mind sharing which condo is this? When was the last increase?

OK thanks bro.

Garden Park Condo in Bandar Sg Long. Original maintenance was 100.10 increased to 150, sinking fund was 10RM increased to 20. Last increase was about 5 years ago but 70% just seems to be too much when residents were only paying 100 a month

They also mentioned in the notice that they had gotten approval from COB Kajang. Can we are residents request the JMB to show us the approved letter by the COB?

Pretty sure you can, but I believe whatever justification to support the increase would have already been discussed in your last AGM, which you've probably missed. Since this increase has been approved, that means majority of those who attended the AGM felt the increase is justified and voted to pass it.
It is important for each residents to attend the AGM to make their voice heard, else you'll just have to accept what the majority has voted.

Yeah, I guess that was a mistake on my part. Thanks for all the advice guys. Appreciate it!

usually not under reno - just inform the office when the service provider is coming and
have it done during office hours

yeah...keen to know also...kl area

the apartment that i wanted to buy don't have strata title
the dev already winding up
currently managed by their own JMB

since the strata title is null, bank do not want to give loan
should i ask JMB to apply strata for that particular parcel only?
is that under JMB reponsibility to make sure all unit got strata title?
if JMB refuse, is it possible for me to apply the strata for current apartment on behalf of the owner?
the owner is old already, do not care much about all those strata, just want to sell the house

i cannot afford to fork out cash to buy the house
and i do not want to buy house with out strata too

Any member here encounter the TNB issue of double billing, or the first meter and second meter will have variation ?

For instance this condo have 5 TNB meter, which one of the meter will connect to second meter which only to shop lot unit. However the first meter and second meter not tally...

Also any experience on the double billing able to settle with TNB? like the management already requested the breakdown of the monthly charges for the year 2017 but unable to provide at all.. we suspecting they are double charge us...

JMB is empowered to take care of the building common area and common interest of owners.

For Strata title, JMB is powerless to do anything nor empowered under the strata title act to do any strata title issuing matter.

Only the developer or owner of the origin master title can sub-divide into strata title.
If developer never sub-divided the land title in the first place, nothing much owner can do except pressuring the developer/master title owner.

Anyone here from PV6 Condo?

Need some advise on the MC and development.

Thanks

hello everyone,

Just would like to have everyone's point of view in regards to JMB /MC.
I am a committee member of my residential. at the moment, the billings, payment all done manually,i.e. via excell and manual account book. previous management was very bad, the account book wasnt updated since 2015.
Since new management take over, we manage to update the record to the current one.

Recently we had an AGM and majority are agreed to impose late payment interest fees as well as sinking fund. Knowing accounting is no longer straight forward, we thought of to use proper / simple accounting software to make our clerk life easier.

Would you please suggest what is the affordable accounting software available in the market for low rise apartment.

We cant afford fancy /canggih accounting software, our residents are only 200 pax only. Preferably those with only one time payment. The software no need to be online / cloud based solution.

Please help to suggest.

Thanks.
