Is it that much difference for the rates of utility n quit rent for serviced residence and condominiums?

Is it worth it to buy serviced residence for own stay?

easily convert to airbnb with no issue

TNB for service apartment still can convert, getting same residential rate.

But water should be the deal breaker. Commercial rate is around 4 times the amount of residental rate. Plus got minimum charge even if no one staying. For selangor ppl, i know few who dont need to pay their water bill at all. Below 20 meter cubic is free. Next year will increase to 25.

Assessment rate differs by 1%. Service apartment VS condo. Around 100+ the difference for a year.

wow, that's quite high

Wrong... a lot of apartment management already set rules to ban homestay and airbnb...

better consider pure residential project le if u have the option... although nowadays pure residential title project in KL is a rare breed... lol

Incorrect info.
Many service apartment already started to ban airbnb. My bet is more will follow suit.

if the service apartment is under HDA rules sholud no problem with electric and water tariff, follow residential charge

Only for electricity. Almost all of the service residence projects I've visited, completed and under-con, the SA or developer sales staff mentioned that electricity can convert to residential, but not for water and assessment.

Just have to accept this when choosing a property closer to the city, unfortunately.

In what extend does government authority of building/management office can impose to control? Example if 'airbnb banned' is written in the house rule, can the management office execute it strictly to chase them off?

Yes. Or impose fine.

under strata management act, i guess

house rule set by JMB or MC is very powerful for strata properties

One overlooked aspect is the developers (especially if it’s a connecting mall) themselves sitting or having an outsized influence on the JMB just like The Main Place. You call read all about at https://www.thestar.com.my/metro/metro-news...-and-developer/

my service apartment also will convert to residential pricing for syabas and TNB.

u sure syabas boleh convert ka... ada apply from syabas before?

Doesnt matter under HDA or not. Water SYABAS cannot convert for service apartment.

Service apartment water SYABAS confirm cannot convert.
Dont listen to sales agent or developer promise such cheat ppl stuff.

TQ for sharing
