ya lo.. now then i noticed the landlord never pays for maintenance fee for quite a while.

i have no prob moving in and my card access is normal. the place i am renting is using this app called icare. similar to area of my house that i sold recently. so far only owner can have access to the app, even recently i managed to request the owner to register my car in the app becos over here it uses car plate recognition, the access card can only be used for lift and door access to common facilities only. my access now to facilities is normal as well, no restriction. i guess if overdue for few months should still be ok?

electricity i can get the bill from the mailbox and pay it.

just this water is irriating that it is under the management. and payment is to the management account directly.

Maintenance, Quit Rent, Fire insurance are paid by the landlord.

Utilities (electric, water, sewage, internet) are paid by tenant.

If you are paying your water bill through the management, very likely your condo is very old. Prior to 2007, the water meters come from bulk water meter and the water company charge a minimum fee to the JMB, this cost is pass back to the residents. This means the water meter at your unit belong to the JMB and not Syabas. That's the reason why, you paying min RM 7.

Newer condo, generally you have to apply for your own water meter with Syabas.

Surprised there are buildings still using bulk water meter.

Your apartment is in Klang Valley or in another state?

Btw, I forgot the main article because this issue has been around for ages... you can see this for your better understanding:

https://www.airselangor.com/uploads/2020/11...-MIGRATION.docx

PARCEL METER
Every parcel owner of high-rise residential building or Gated community shall apply for a parcel meter to a water distribution licensee and open a parcel meter account with the water distribution licensee through the Management.

The existing parcel owner whose water supply had been read and charged through a bulk meter based on the appropriate rates for water supply services, shall apply for parcel meter to a water distribution licensee and open a parcel meter account with the water distribution licensee through the Management who shall submit the application to Migration Section, Pengurusan Air Selangor which based at Headquarters.

Effective 1 February 2014, the Migration of Bulk meter to Individual meter water supply account has been made mandatory by the Federal Government in accordance to the Rules of Water Services Industry (Water Reticulation and Plumbing) 2014.

Any person who fails to comply with the rules “Water Services Industry (Water Reticulation and Plumbing) Rules 2014” is committing an offence and shall, upon conviction, be fined not exceeding ten thousand ringgits.
