As the topic mentioned,
Few days ago , i hv received an email from my services apartment management stated that there is an increse for the maintainence fee from 35cents/sf to 42cents/sf and attached with the email .

my service apartment sf is 558ft
Previosly i need to pay RM175.75 and i hv noticed tat the current bill is Rm259.20
I was shocked and wanted to ask for calculation how they count the charges. And they just replied meas below :

The previous SQFT in 558 where only your unit SQFT i included, whereas now we have amended the SQFT to 681.79 which is inclusive your 1 car park bay sqft.

As per Act 757, the accessory parcel is chargeable along with the SQFT of the unit. Please refer to the charges calculation below:

558 + 123.79 = 681.79

681.79 x 0.42 = RM 286.35 (this is inclusive of sinking fund)

We trust the above clarifies your queries. Thank you.

And my other owner got the replied from the management which stated as below

"The calculation of share units is made based on the area of parcel and the entire floor parcel multiplied by the weight-age factors for that type of parcel, and if there are accessory parcels, the area of the accessory parcel is also multiplied by a weight-age factor for that accessory parcel. In conclusion, once the share unit is being allocated, services charges will be charged in proportion to share units allocated, in which, it includes car parks as accessory parcels, and this calculation of service charge applies to all stratified properties regardless the age of property.
In reference to your statement where, you have claimed that the parking bays was never included in the total built up, please refer to your SPA PREAMBLE :
"AND WHEREAS the Vendor has agreed to sell and the Purchaser has agreed to purchase a parcel with vacant possession more particularly described in Section 3 of the Sixth Schedule hereto which is delineated and shaded GREEN in the Storey Plan, measuring in area described in Section 3 of the Sixth Schedule within Storey No. of the Building No. as described in Section 3 of the Sixth Schedule which is in turn delineated and shaded RED in the Site Plan(Hereinafter referred to as "the said Building") with accessory parcel(s) with vacant possession distinguished as descried in section 3 of the Sixth schedule hereto (which is delineate and Shaded Blue in the Accessory Parcel Plan annexed in the First Schedule hereto) (hereinafter referred to as "the said parcel"), ...................."
The additional wording which appears in a bracket ‘(hereinafter referred to as “the said Parcel”)’ means that an accessory parcel is part of a parcel within a strata development. As it owes its existence to a particular parcel, in a nutshell, an accessory parcel can be transacted as long as it belongs to that particular parcel"



Therefore,
i would like to ask ... actually the maintenance fee for services apartment really includes parking bay ? which we really not satisfy .
May i know u guys hv any idea can hv better argument with management ? This is really ridiculous
