Hi Guys,
Currently i am in a Legal case with the owner upstair and management office.
The Chronological Events:
1) On Dec 2017, i notice the small bedroom + both bath room seem to have water leaking issues.
2) I reported to JMB, after 1 weeks, they inspected my unit and give a 14 days notice to Owner above my units to request for repairs.
3) After 14 days, i ask JMB to proceed to fix my house, but they refuse to and mentioned it is the responsiblilty of the owner above my unites.
4) I get fed up, so i contact the upstair owner myself. He come with a contract after few weeks, told me he will fix it next week.
5) After next week, he responsed that he is currently putting his house on sales, his house also have the leaking issue, having some financial problem blah blah and ask me to claim after he sold his house.
6) I again ask the JMB to fix my house, but they still refuse to do so.
7) I raised a case to KPKT Putrajaya with RM100 + alot of time to study strata management act 2013 + research + time + petro + Annual Leave.
8) This monday i manage to see them on the court, it very awkward & not comfortable for all party. Due to they forget to fill up the Form, so we postponed the hearing to next month.
Now my question come:
The Owner ask if we can settle the case, but he only willing to bear 50% of the cost. He is having a financial issue, business not doing well, house getting lelong and etc. The payment can only make by installment.
But my purpose of raising the case, is toward the mistake from Management Office too.
Because according to Strata Management Act 2013, they suppost to fix the issue and charge to the owner upstair, but they not follow the process properly.
i planned to join the JMB next years, as i found the current JMB is very terrible.
So it quite important for me to get the case complete, so i can assist the others owner when deal with legal act.
How you think?
