Hey, guys im not sure if im in the right channel, I've a situation regarding landlord and tenants. I've been renting this condo for half a year. Now that I've found a better place i would like to shift out. but however the contract still does not end till the end of this year. May i know whether I'm eligible to shift out without being sued by the landlord. I dont care about the deposit money(2 months rental and ultilities fees) actually. My tenant period is until this year December.
*
It'll have to depend on the clause of moving early, usually most unendorsers contract will just require you to forfeit the deposits!

And since you don't care about the deposit, it should be fine.

i understand that there is a new strata title act. anyone know anything about this? does it impact the defect liability period at all?
*
if i am not mistaken the new strata title act need the developer to hand over the strata title together or within a 3-6 months period from VP.

in contrast, old strata title act can be issues after 10years or more!

so, for investors, this is a heavy chunk. especially in times like these when the sub-sale market is slow.....

it shouldn't be a burden on investor/speculator as they are the one whom have over the year inflated the price!

furthermore, with the earlier issuance of strata title, investor gain more advantages as property transaction is much quicker now.

on the other hand, genuine buyers that buy yo stay will suffer the most as having acquire the strata title do not benefit them in anyway, just burden them with additional cost!

Dear all,

what you guys think about this?

consider as defect? will you request developer to rectify it?
*
For the uneven wall paint, usually you can ask them to re skin the wall to make it even and smooth

And for the AC, make sure they ask professional AC installer, you wouldn't want a Bangla adjusting it, and accidentally bending or dislocate the piping!

In both case, yes, just write in to them and label it as defects.

Hi all,
need you advise urgently!

1. How you guys deal with those floor tiles are not even? some of them more than 1mm and some of them less than 1mm?
2. If the developer have change those tiles are hollow but the tiles the replace are difference color? (a bit difference)
*
Hi,

for my property, i have similar problem, as such i've lodge them as defects and the porblem was solved.

unfortunately, while carrying out the repair, i was warned by the developer that the replaced tiles while same colour will however have a slight tone different.

but i was willing to live with slight different tone of colour than uneven tone, and fortunately for me, eventually the different in tone colour was less and less visible once more furniture move in.

so i suppose you should still lodge it as defect, and ask to see a few sample of the tile, you choose it your self the one with the least different, and over time, im sure it will not be noticeble at all.

Dear All,

Appreciate your help and advice on the following, we are running out of time before defect period ended soon in 5mths.
Case: developer silent and drag the residents request on the common area defects, dyfunctional security system, safety issue & etc.

What is the procedures to hold developer's deposit (2.5% or 5%) which with the lawyer?

Is there any effective way to get developer resolve those issues (black and white, verbally feel unsecure because complaint many times no action to rectify)?

Thank you so much  smile.gif
*
if possible, work collectively with all, most of the other owner and form a majority.

issues letter highlighting the issues, and demand them to reply within a pre determined timeline, and ask them to draft out the time line of the repairs needed.

and have all owner agree to the content of the letter, then submit it to the developer, and inform them the letter with be sent to COB (Commission of Building) for noting too.

Thank you so much for your valuable advice smile.gif smile.gif smile.gif

We have sub-committee with 14 ppl work on this issue and EGM (there are other issues on committee and chairman)

Thanks, just found a sample letter from HBA website on NOTICE TO STAKEHOLDER LAWYERS. Noted, we will get 50% of the owners to sign.

Is it wise to cc COB, Local Housing Department and Town Council Department?
*
yeah, very important to have majority of owner agree with your cause, and since you're at it, make sure to photograph all the listed defect with multiple angle and attached it together.

my suggestion is rope in all authority, but inform them is for noting just in case developer refuse to acknowledge the problem, then only you all can ask them for suggestion in taking action against the developer.

Noted.

Can we submit via JMB or individually?

Coz we prefer all actions in accordance to the law, the developer has no reasons to reject the repairs.
*
Via JMB would be ideal, and ensure everyone was kept inform.

I faced similar problem from my condo, and while there's several owner pulling together, most were oblivious of the issues, make worst was the low occupancy rate in the initial stage.

And eventually, instead of forcing the developer to take immediate action, they developer issued lawyer letter saying we're defaming them and request for a sum of compensation.

Therefore it's of paramount important for you, and majority of the owner (or more) to agree on the issue otherwise developer might turn around and say you all defaming them as they don't seem to have any issue with other owner.

Write in to developer to complete all defect within 3months.

Also inform them that upon the expiry of the deadline and problem persist, you are protected in the sense that you can find your own repair contractor and charge it to the developer.

But ensure you communicate with developer

Balcony?

It's hard to tell.

In luckiest situation, it could be simple seepage during finishing touch, easily rectify by sanding it and repaint a.

If it's leakage from above unit from faulty piping...

You'll have to really monitor the progress of defect fixing by developer

Easiest telltale sign is that it feels damp all the time the you have a leaking problem

If it drys up then but just with stain then usually minor issue.

For a condo brick wall to construct slanting (the one between master bedroom and bathroom) , can it be known as defect ?

I noticed there is some shear wall that built slanting (probably formwork not good) , and I doubt this one can repair
*
maybe it is due to uneven plastering?

but if its the brick wall that slanting, they will have to still do the correction no matter how major the work is.

looks like a supporting bean.

but anyhow, try to measure up the size as stated in snp,

they could have actually given you a little more that in snp,

and if that is the case, then kita untung.

but if after builidng the supporting bean and " eating into" your space which end up lesser in measurement then snp

they will have to compensate your losses in floor size.

let say i loss 1sqft of space, then they will compensate the per sqft price?
*
I’m unable to assist in calculating the method of compensation. As i’m not familiar on how they compensate.

But be caution that they will require “official proof” which might need you to hired qualified architect to measure, which inturn make you incur more costs, and the compensation might not be worthwhile.

Try to nego with developer for a simple reasonable compensation first

I received a VP letter with CCC. As per SnP its written that have to collect the key within 14 days, failing which its still considered VP handed over.

Paid a visit today, and the place is horrid conditions. Painting patches all over, exposed cables, rubbish and construction waste still in there, toilets smelly, some fitting like toilet door not installed, and the main gate itself is broken and can't be properly locked. BTW, mine is landed linked house.

Also, despite collecting the Syabas and TNB deposit months ago, neither is installed.

So do I still proceed to collect the keys and lodge all these as defects?
*
You collect it as soon as possible,

Lodge all as defect and get back to the developer on the defect as soon as possible,

The faster you submit all the defect, the faster developer can start rectifying your problem.

If you delay, other owner might start submitig and you’ll have to wait longer

So I called them to make appointment for the VP - and the only date they can give me is 12TH Dec - since they only make 4 appts in a day -excluding weekend and public holiday. And that is 9 days after the 14 days expiry which falls on  3rd Dec.

Hate our system here which doesn't fully protect the buyer.
*
It doesn’t matter which day you collect your keys,
Important thing now is go tru the defect, list them down, and submit it back to the dev for immediate rectification

If you have the time, you can try to walk in, maybe they’ll have time to give it to you too
