We understand that owners have converted the "legal" status of their houses from residential to commercial. In WP KL, was told that the application should be submitted to DBKL. If approved, the annual assessment will be increased. Thereafter, can rent out the property to commercial tenants to do business without fear

That's all I know. Now comes some questions

1. Can anyone go to DBKL & fill in some forms to DIY the process?

2. Is the conversion permanent or temporary? If temporary, can it be extended? If not extended, will the assessment go back to residential rate automatically?

3. Can the title deed be changed to reflect this new status? Should it?

Hope the sifus here can share some info on this. TQ
