Is a recuring amount and I dont see the need to issue invoice unless there is a change in amount.

Banks also dont do billing for monthly instalment if there is no change in the amount.

If borrower can pay monthly instalment on/before due date to avoid late payment charges, I dont see why owner can forget about monthly maintainance charges.

If owners dont pay on time, how can the Management body function ?

Yes and btw banks always have black and white, the cutoff payment date, clear info on late charges and updates/ notices about additional charges, policies etc. You should be worried if your banks do not.

And clearly the Management Body at my place does not have it. Hope yours is good and can save u the trouble. The committee never reply inquiries, and is evasive and defensive.

Anyway it's the non recurring amount. It's the additional charges. And they never have any black and white documentation in place. Btw I always pay my monthly maintenance chatges as a responsible owner.

The Management Body standard has been deteriorating with the changes of committee down the years, although the maintenance charges is raised. Lol.

What is the additional charges ?

No minutes of the past AGM for the charges ?

CCTV. No bill, no invoice, no plan of action, and no indicated payment date. There is no payment schedule in place.

You rely on minutes to pay bill?

Yes, because I believe most Management Bodies do issue invoices, even for recurring maintenance charges, as a basis to impose late charges.

If the continue to refuse issuing proper bills or invoice, you’re only obligated to pay the minimum maintenance fee and sinking fund. Make sure they issue you receipts. For additional charges, ask them to issue the itemised bill or you will not pay them.

They can’t do anything legally since they’re not providing you a breakdown of your charges anyway.

Anywhere or authority we can lodge report/ complaint about Management Body?
Not that I can't afford late charges of few ringgit. Just that they don't have systematic billing and reporting. I can't believe that they are not answering my queries, but sending me a notice out of the blue. Am seriously pissed.

One important thing is when you made payment, make sure you are given a receipt as a proof payment.

The usually invoices issue monthly or once every two months consists of these usual charges: maintenance fees, sinking funds and insurance. Certain states Quit Rent starting 2020 is being pay as cukai Petak, owners have to pay themselves like cukai pintu but once a year. If your water charges to the management office. You are an owner should be receiving these invoices. Unless your management office is too expensive to print the invoices. Even thought the maintenance fees is at a fixed charge amount, I believe you should received an invoice. For example, your monthly internet like Unifi; the charge is the same and they e-bill you every month.

To complaint about the management body, depending on which states you are in, go and ask your pejabat Dewan Bandar to refer to which department is charge for this type of issues. For KL is COB (Commission Of Building).

If don't pay maintenance fees, then can attend AGM but cannot vote.

The Act says if any charges due & payable is not paid by the 7th day before the
AGM, then cannot vote.

How to count the 7th day? Calendar days or Working days? Anyone can confirm?
