Whyvdelay so long for common property to be ready? Common facility not ready also can get CF??? Lol... Something funny going on.

Is it a service apartment or Condo?

Wat does schedule five of your spa say?

i can't see anywhere in the SMA that there's a specific carve out for the term "common property".

it is the duty of the JMB/MC to maintain the common property using funds from the "maintenance account".

in relation to wear and tear or whether the floodlights should be turned on, it should be inclusive within the term of common property. In this respect, factored into your maintenance fee.

that being said, JMB/MC can restrict the use of floodlights, say until 10pm because it can be nuisance to other owners.

I think the most tricky part of the question is when you have a mix development, how do you apportion maintenance fee between commercial and residential parcels?

Then the question of separate charges may arise.

this issue then again is resolved by setting up a subsidiary JMB/MC, to split the cost and function of certain common property.

In a perfect environment, when laws are effective, immediately everything overnight is expected to switch over to the new law.

That of course, as I emphasize and re-emphasize, we live in an imperfect world and knowing Malaysia... it just gets better.

I couldn’t agree more with your example but from what I gather from COB, the debt collection of maintenance fees for instance, COB has advise to use existing avenues of recovery rather than go to tribunal (this seem to suggest that they themselves are not ready). Am not sure about subsidiary JMB/MC but I gather it will be Malaysian time as well.
