Normally not allowed. At the same time, most developers design wont have much room for that.

What they mentioned above is correct, check with the management first. If extension is allowed, normal Majlis approval is still required.

I just went through it recently.

Normally is chicken and egg story.

Mgmt will ask owner to get approval from majlis.

Majlis will say is up to mgmt decision.

Hi all, if I were to own a strata title condominium and would like to convert a toilet to a standard room, is that possible and if so do we need management for approval

Indirectly say cannot.

How many jmb or mc wants to shoulder additional responsibilities other than required by law, otherwise many strata problems would resolved.

if involved tearing down a wall, you better inform MO, there may involve structure damage

No tearing down a wall, just decided to remove the sink and toilet bowl..

No management yet since the building is still under construction so thought of having feedbacks from you guys..

Still deciding if i should pick this particular floor plan

Thank you all so much! biggrin.gif

Seal the sewage and waste water discharge hole properly. Otherwise the smell and cockroach can enter you unit.

Thanks for sharing..

Unfortunately the condo is still under construction and we're deciding purchase it but this particular toilet is really small and felt we could use the space as storage

Not possible to change during the construction. If you change, later all other buyers will demand the same. It will lead to a mess & eventually a lot of answering to Local Authority on the deviation from the Building Plan Approval. No way the Architect will allow you do amendment with the risk of the CCC being at risk.

Ah yes ofcourse, what I meant was there’s no management now so i won’t be able to ask.. and it’s kind of a deal breaker for us if not we would pick other floor plans but seems like it’s ok if we just remove the sink and toilet bowl..

Thanks so much everybody!

Thanks everyone for sharing their thoughts and info. Looks like is all down the management of the strata title. Better to ask first before buying the house.

Some landed strata places like townhouse even the AC position also fixed.. it must look boring and uniform throughout. Best to ask first as some follow like condo style nothing should be added to change the facade.
Later the type of grass you can grow in the garden, also mandated by their "HOC laws" (its a bane in the US)..

Its good to have uniform looking houses geh..IMO
this eliminate all the ghetto looking extensions and zinc roof porch that make it look like wannabe shacks outside factories in Jakarta.

Need to be mindful of potential leakage from upstairs.
