Maintenance Fees

I realized that the government has changed the maintenance fees structure.
I went to the management office yesterday and they informed me that in my next month bill i need to pay for my parking lot maintenance fees as well.

Those day the condominium maintenance fees was calculated based on your house built up area but now i have to pay for my parking lot maintenance fees as well. If i have 5 lots i have to pay all 5 lots.

Can any sifu/simo can verify if this is truth. If not i will shoot my management office officer

am not sifu or simo but what your management said is correct correct correct..
this new ruling was implemented not too long ago..

so means 5 parking lot need pay 5 price? then what for wan fork out money to buy extra CP, might as well just rent CP for 100 per month. sohai rule

Same with my place.

Good in a way that all the unit with more than 1 parking have to pay more.

Bad thing is all have to pay more.


In my place there is this one house that has 7 parking lots. it would be unfair to others if the unit pay only for their unit space only.

Don listen ur management bull shit lah. The calculation included parking is for the percentage of share for a unit in the entire building. Example, is for the cases when someone wanna buy ur land (Gov).
Ask them go read the BM version and refer to COB. The act was prepared and written in BM and BM is the only to refer. All fee to collect must submit to COB for apporval.

yes..its true

Not sohai rule, bro.. Think about that, If you own 2 car, and other people own 1 car, you are using the car park 2 times greater leh, so, in other word, you should pay more in maintenance. This is fair to me.

usually one parking lot about how many sqft ?

I seem more fair to include parking space in maintenance fees by psf wise. But overall the psf maintenance should reduce.

For example, whole building let say 100k sf spend RM30k a month to maintain without include parking space previously, which means RM0.30 psf. Now include parking space as chargable in maintenance let say it is 105k sf, the maintenance should be RM0.286 psf as it still spend RM30k to maintain for whole building.

Just my thought...

Any link to this announcement by the government?

Fair or not fair is must be base on the agreement u signed when u purchased (SNP and DMC-Deed of Mutual Covenants).
If ur SnP and DMC did not mentioned included parking, JMB / JMC BM also no kuasa to amend unless by AGM approve with consent of COB.

Contract which been signed and agreed when purchased is valid until all parties agree to amend.

If everyone can amend what he/she like than all big unit also can ask we shall having same maintenance fee since all unit is using the same facilities. Why still need bigger unit pay more on maintenance fee compare to small unit?

I think u guys not aware yet.... ur aircond ledge area also kira you know?

Hahaha

lucky all my condo air con ledge is not included in my build=up area.

Yup, same here, I was also just made aware during our recent AGM that the maintenance fees moving forward will include car park lot as well. Bad news for those who owns too many car parks.

Yes it's true, mine is considered new and this share unit basis will be implement when we start collecting maintenance fees.

FYI 1 car park lot of my condo is 12 meter square.

Erm......

if one car park lot is 12sf,
if the maintenance fees is 0.33 psf
then one carpark will charge RM3.96 each month which is not much big deal

If charge psf do not drop, that mean the amount for whole maintenance collected is increase. The additional fund go into resident committee/JMB?

12 square meter is not 12 square feet

my apt does not count aircond ledge for house total sqft

This.

The maintenance fee are already included all the common areas, which including parking area.


If JMB is in charge, it would need approva/votel of the parcel owners before they can charge maintenance fees including parking.
Fortunately for my place all the owners disagree for the charges, however it doesnt mean management may not increase the fee/spf no?
