It's already way pass that. Once a case goes to Tribunal, you cannot just randomly withdraw it because it might mean they will not be able to file it again in the future. There's nothing arrogant about it. If someone owes' you 100k, refuses to pay, then when hear it becomes a court case, ask if can pay RM1k a month until settle, will you accept it?

No, because there is no guarantee the person will stop paying again after you withdraw the case.

What can happen if found guilty?

Article 34 and 35 states it clearly:

1) Fine of up to RM5k and/or imprisonment of 3 years. Also if still continue not to pay, a daily penalty of up to rm50.

2) They can confiscate and auction off your stuff from the condo. But the act also provides a clause that allows them to take anything from anywhere in the State, which might mean they can even ask to seize and auction off stuff that is in your other houses (though I might read that incorrectly).

3) They can also confiscate and auction off the condo itself but that is last resort dah.

That's a fucked place to live.


Anyway, I'm still paying my house maintenance fee even though there is defects on the house. Yeah, the defects by the contractor, but the maintenance fee is for security and cleaning. Don't let other people pay for your safety and then brag u live in gated and guarded area... Worst scum.

dev problem go kacau JMB.

FYI JMB have every right to reject your settlement offer. Perhaps what you can do is to suggest to the tribunal that you are willing to: (1) resume payment for maintenance fee immediately, and (2) are willing to settle all outstanding dues, but since the amount is quite huge (2 years worth), you propose the settlement scheme to the tribunal and let the tribunal decide if the scheme is fair to both side.

JMB still have the right to reject your proposal, but the tribunal may order a settlement scheme to be put in place while striking a fair and reasonable decision for both side. Remember, the JMB is not the sohai here, you are. IMHO, start paying the current fees and if possible the arrears in the earlier months as far as you financially are capable.

Hey TS, congrats on picking the wrong fight with the JMB and not the Developer.

By the way, all this goes into Ctos yeah.

If u want to guide this case towards an installment, u need to pay 1-2 months now and start clearing them in post-dated cheques. Either way, due to a large amount of cases the current law and precedence side the JMB a lot more vs irresponsible tenants.

hye TS, my advise, please communicate with the JMB using an official letter. if you have relatives who have law background can ask them to draft the letter. because in tribunal its only black n white. JMB can show that they have issue ample warning letter without any replies.

sbb kau tak bayar la poor service

Bayar je la... nak enjoy tapi tak nak bayar...

JMB is owner's ally. you pick the wrong fight ts

you have to pay JMB no matter what.

your house defects are from developers' side.

you buy condo

you know need to pay maintenance fees monthly

you condo got problem go look for developer la

why give excuses not to pay maintenance fees????

What JMB had to do with rectification works? Rectification works is your issue with the seller. Either Developer for newly built property or the previous owner for sub sale.

Why are you dragging the JMB into your repair problems?

My advice is that you start paying, go to the JMB office and schedule for periodic payments

Interest.

They want to open the path to allow them to charge you interest on the debt.

You have no case as explained by other post, so very likely you will lose and jmb will able to win and request interest to be added to the debt.

1. Not pay maintenance because of excuse developer not resolve your problem.
2. The supposed maintenance money goes elsewhere.
3. Tribunal court case.
4. Ask to pay in installment?

Where did the money go? spent already?
If you had the money to pay earlier, I suppose it could still be in the bank? under the pillow or somewhere? No?

Please pay bro. People like you causing JMB to raise maintenance and make people like me suffer.

Also delay in fixing stuff like doing maintenance work on lifts because of people like him

TS actually wants to get discounts on top of the installments minus the penalty.

because:

1. he felt justified due to defects (which is the responsibility of developer and not management). a lame excuse btw

2. untung sebab tak perlu bayar as much as others when summed up in total

I've been in JMB before. Prove me wrong by paying what you owed, starting today with whatever you can afford. if you have paid regularly from the start you wouldn't find yourself in a mess right now because u used up the 'free' money right?

padan muka

First, start paying the current maintenance fee. Surely got current maintenance fee for July/August right?

For the outstanding fee installment payment option, it is up to JMB to accept. For JMB not accepting that option indicates that this issue had gone beyond their acceptance level a.k.a cross the line already, maybe many time already reminded TS but never respond & pay, so they fed up already.

isn't it best to get lawyers advice on matters like this

Please provide further details such as how much in arrears and how many month, as for all of us to decide to bash you or not!
