Normally the condo facilities like swimming pool, tennis court, badminton court and gym room are open free to use for the condo residents. When I moved in the condo, the swimming pool and gym room were not ready to use. After 1 year, the gym room were completed but management office required the residents to pay if you need to use the gym room, badminton court or tennis court. They said the maintenance fee is not included for condo facilities. This is ridiculous!
 Why I need to pay so much maintenance fee for no facilities condo! As we know the condo facilities are one of the selling points for the property and stated in S&P. I would like to know, the management office have the right to collect the fee from the resident for using the facilities? Hope someone can answer this and suggest some solution to solve this problem!  This post has been edited by Wayne79: Sep 7 2015, 05:48 PM |

It is a condo, not a service apartment. I guess the collection decision is made by the management committee members, didn't go through the AGM because this year do not has any AGM. I think the main problem is because >70% of the resident are tenants and students. Most of the house owners didn't pay the maintenance fee. Anyhow it is not fair for those house owners whom paid the maintenance fee without any facilities. We already suggested the management office to disconnect the water supply to those didn't pay maintenance fee but they said they do not authorised to do that because it is individual meter. Any suggestion?

QUOTE(aurora97 @ Sep 10 2015, 12:21 PM) Question, does the owner pay water to the condominium management or direct to supplier i.e. Syabas? Thank you very much for your advice and suggestion. The owner pay the water direct to Syabas. That's why JMB no right to disconnect the water. If like that I will suggest the JMB to lower the water pressure to minimum (to dripping pressure) Unlikely landed property, the pipping is laid by Syabas from bulk to distribution channel and lastly to the water meter. The water meter demarcate the boundary between the water pipe belonging to Syabas and the land owner. So if you don’t pay your water bill, Syabas has the right to remove the water meter. In a condominium, the pipping are all laid by the developer. It runs internally within all the common area and maintained by the management. Also, the demarcation between Syabas starts with the bulk water meter. I can say with certainty, your condominium is continuously paying the water bill for everyone (including 70% of those defaulters). If your condominium has defaulted, Syabas would have disconnected the bulk water meter and everyone won’t have any water to use. If they say the water meter belongs to the owner, as management, I will go to the water meter room and turn off the master switch before the water reaches the owner’s meter because that is common property. How old is your JMB already? Am starting to smell something rotten.   This condo only 3-4 years old. |
