bro... landed can be also under strata title like EW project... but then... from what you mentioned... u are individual title... hence... u have freedom to do all the things u mentioned above... but if the security concept broke down because of one paying.... good luck to u TS....

this is one of the headache staying in a individual title landed... have to be praying for good neighbours... but you can try to join the non paying option... wait the security application failed... and see how it will be going from then on... even u pay, ur amount alone also the security wont succeed anyway... strengthen up your house security for the time being...

yeah... also depends your house area investor more or own stayers more... like my housing area... own stayers quite decent in numbers... and they all willing to pay... hence the security still sustainable for now... but wont know how long can is sustain in the future... haha...

generally those own stayers will be willing to pay... as this involve their own personal safety... if own stay are lesser... this will be quite a challenge... generally without proper security... break in can happen almost immediately after some owners moved in... like my housing area the first phase project... security issue taking too slow to resolve... at least 10+ units gt broke in in a span of one month.... damn dangerous...
