Hi all, may I know for MOT/MOC, must we go through the law firm set by the developer? Can we find our own lawyer to handle it? If is it possible, will there normally be any extra charges to switch to own lawyer?

For your information, this is for newly completed apartment which had gotten strata title and ready for MOT.

Hope someone can assist on this. Thank you.

Not really an issue regarding MOT but it's on parcel rent.

I'd like to seek for your advice on my situation: I am in the midst of processing MOT with developer (after strata title was issued) and when I checked my outstanding parcel rent, I was surprised with the parcel rent late payment charged by land office. I further checked to the system and note that the registered ownership is still under the name of the developer - my understanding is because they're the one applying for the strate title to be issued hence it made sense for the ownership to be registered under their name, right?

So technically the land office will send the bill of parcel rent to them, and not myself, which explains why i am not getting the bill, hence not aware of the parcel rent that needs to be paid. What i was furious is that the developer never forwarded or notify me on the said bill, and the land office has charged us the late payment interest. I tried to seek clarification with developer on this, but their attitude is the worst i have seen tbh. Worst thing is the person in charge did not even know what is parcel rent and i have to explain to her LOL .... so my question is, I do have a right to get the developer to bear the late payment interest charges, right? While I can definitely pay for it my ownself, but then after being treated by the developer in a rude manner, I decided to hold them accountable for this....

Appreciate any advice on my situation here, thanks.

If your house is under HOC, than MOT is 100% free !!!!!
