hi bro, ur casa green house?

tomolo i share abit, urs very technical to reply

I think the developer is pretty cheeky exploiting a loop hole in the SPA, possible is an old trick.

From first reading, of 22(1) it seems to suggest that the cost of laying the utilities and application for connection to the Parcel is borne by developer then 22(2) skips everything else and goes straight to "deposits" for installation of the utilities meters and the vendor shall bear all other cost.

I think the key word missing in 22(2) is the word "Parcel". This would have clarified a lot of things. Unfortunately, it's not there so we will have to work with what we have.

indeed 22(2) did state payment of deposit but normally this is with reference to utilities consumed by the parcel. there is nothing in the agreement that say you have to pay deposit for common area facility i.e. electricity bulk meter.

So perhaps you manage to win this argument, then the developer say... hey look your maintenance fund doesn't have enough monies to pay for the deposit.

If you look at 18 and BCPA 2007 (now superseded by SMA 2013), you will find no where does it mentioned payment for deposit for electricity bulk meter. You will see the maintenance charges recurring theme is "maintain and manage" the common facilities. In addition to that, the developer will need to justify such payment of fees in schedule 5  (see 18(4)).

The end result... looks like you don't have to pay for "bulk" meter electricity deposit. On the other hand, the SPA is not too helpful as to who's responsibility is it...

I can only conclude if authorities not willing to wade in on this issue it will be a stalemate...

perhaps you should refer this to housing tribunal.

Hi bro, how much your developer is charging you the bulk meter for common area?

our silk residence is around rm 1600 for common bulk and another rm500 (i think) for individual sub

the developer did attached us a proof of receipt for the payment of deposit made to TNB.

maybe you should request the such from them.

Actually and contractually, this common bulk deposit should recover from JMB then JMB will recover from every unit. but since now no JMB formed, developer can recover the said but providing with necessary supporting document.

i hope they did attached to you a copy of receipt.

so far silk resident owners no issue on this because it is part of disbursement money for VP

Your TNB meter is individual or bulk?

we need to dig deeper.

you have the right to demand a proof copy of receipt from them. the have to derive out the details and calculation how the deposit come about

for individual, rm500 is 2 months estimated elec bill

for common area, i think they based on tnb contribution fees

ours a lot because of those function halls, there are six like that.
