QUOTE(purple_rain2011 @ Feb 26 2015, 08:00 PM) I am interested to know what does the JMB of your condo do when they are faced with stubborn, stingy and inconsiderate owners not wanting to pay up outstanding maintenance fees? Cut the water supply to those units which have not paid up in 3 months. No need to get into grandmother story.

I am really surprised that many condos do not use this tool. This is already practiced successfully in some of the condo management, so it's not a fiction.

QUOTE(JustNobody @ Feb 27 2015, 08:59 AM) Malaysia law useless, this is why.. I don't think it has anything to do with Malaysia law. It's more like Malaysian attitude. The law has already provided condo management the legal right to recover the money. But to be able to actually recover the money is a painful and costly operation.

QUOTE(katijar @ Feb 27 2015, 09:48 AM) Now TNB has cut the electricity supply to the condo and people are not able to use the lifts as well. ---------------------------------------- wah... so serious.. I look at this, it's still the condo management's fault for letting the cancer to grow into last stage. Should have nipped the problem at it's bud.

QUOTE(xin @ Feb 27 2015, 10:36 AM) the management also need to be in fault with, they should act and not wait until the electricity being disconnected at the cost of the residents that provide prompt payment. If this happens often, i think even the prompt payers would just ignore paying. In the end the management is dysfunctional. Exactly. It's the fault of the management ! Might be got people in the management taking kopi-O money and causes relaxed execution. Fit to become a grandmother story teller but not fit to be a condo management.

QUOTE(katijar @ Feb 27 2015, 11:58 AM) what if the owner is having financial problem , sickness or jobless ... you all still want to cut his water supply... how is he and his family going to live ...?  LOL. Is the condo management a charity ngo, a religious body or a gomen welfare body ? If the owner is in financial difficulty, he has to seek help somewhere else. And more importantly, everyone will come out of grandmother story of financial problem. If you are slack on one, you will be slack on 10,000 people, and that's how cancer cells spread.

QUOTE(treblecase @ Feb 27 2015, 12:04 PM) But first of all, is it even legal for the management to cut off water supply if the owner didn't pay the service charges assuming the service & water bill is different & the owner pays the water bill? It has been implemented and executed for years by some condo management. I would say at best, it's grey but the condo management has an upper hand over it. It can say since the owner has not paid his maintenance fees and now the pipe or the meter is faulty and the management has no money to fix it or something .... If other managements can execute it for so many years I am sure there is a way to get over it.

QUOTE(katijar @ Feb 27 2015, 01:29 PM) you can "cut" other things like parking, clubhouse etc ... but no water can die wor... In condo, if only your unit got no water, won't die ! The common bathrooms got water. Your neighbour got water. And if you settle off the bills immediately, you got more water. LOL.
