Some individual titled properties also need to pay maintenance. They don't follow strata laws but sign a deed of mutual covenant or DMC

Landed property with strata title vs individual title has both advantage and disadvantage.

Individual title.
No obligation for maintenance fee.
But if want to have security to patrol, safeguard the housing area, then it depends on willingness of neighborhood to contribute to pay for the expenses for it.
If there is people don't want to pay for it, basically, no law can be enforced on them. So you may have awkward situation if some people do not want to cooperate.

But with strata title one, the unit owner is governed by strata title act, that unit owner is obliged to pay the maintenance fee under the strata title act, so action can be imposed on those refuse to pay maintenance as compared to individual title one.

With G&G and clubhouse facilities are features that most wanted by property owner nowadays, a maintenance fund is a must to keep the property in good shape, this is inevitable.
So in this case, strata title act provides the platform for it.

The place that i stay is individual title. We dont have problem like wat u said. In fact it is one the best township in kajang.

Pls do more research.

Yes, if everyone cooperate, surely everything fine and pleasant, disregards whatever kind of property.

The discussion previously that being highlighted is that under individual title, there is no law bidding, all depended on cooperation between neighborhood.
Under strata properties, it is law bidding to pay maintenance fee.

See the word in the statement of "if". I never said which or any individual title property must be bad or must face problem.

Anyway,
any story/info regarding how well/bad/problem of MC/JMB or individual title property is always welcomed.

No true... those not paying one also by the doc they have signed. Pls do more research.

Like that u should buy strata project. Unsold or speculators failed to get tenants oso need to pay maintenance fee.   

The story of certain unit owner "gang up" to form JMB/MC to raise maintenance fee and to make profit from running the management is flaw.

An extra-ordinary high maintenance fee will only make potential buyer shy away from the property. With little buyer seeking for the property, the property price has hard time to appreciate, and existing owner may also move away from it as well, which eventually may "kill" their own property value only.

That's reason why only unit owner can vote in AGM/EGM of JMB/MC, but not residents, because if they care about their property value, they need to take care of the property interest including maintenance fee and management related.
