As per topic, it is not worth at all to pay the maintenance fee while the jobs/management are not being done properly

It is like tidak apa attitude.

What would be the consequences if I stop to pay the maintenance fee until they improve?

Is there a complaints channel where we can submit our grievances about lazy MO reps? In my condo, can see the MO reps sleeping on the job, gossiping most of the time, and they don’t respond to emails.

Same same. I feel like paying the fee like feeding them to get gaji at month end.

Our problems when made complaints, they don't bother or take a fcking long time. They even don't bother to reply Whatsapp messages.

U are not alone in this case..but that's the dilemma of buying highrise.
Sumore maintenance fee can raise if cost rises.
The less ppl pay, the more condo maintenance suffer.

Then let it collapses be B40 condo.

not only that… by defaulting, cannot attend meeting to suggest to committee to change management team… that also must have quorum to agree…so think before you decide
*
attend meeting or whatever are not important lah. The past AGM have no people to attend and only 2. The AGM can't be approved because less than the required #.

This condo = no people bother one about the AGM or whatever.

that why no people bother, the MO also x apa attitude.

That why I am thinking to stop paying so i can a lot of money because it is not worth at all to feed tak apa orang.

The answer is cannot. They have a strong case against you but you don’t. Maintenance job not done properly is very subjective

How much are you paying psf?
*
900sf = about 300

how u define 'not being done properly'

if really they not doing good job , u can complaint to COB .

not paying maintenance fees is a nono . u might end up need pay 10% interest p.a to them .
*
what is COB?

QUOTE(LostAndFound @ Jan 4 2025, 04:50 PM)
LOL never attend AGM, planning to attend first time, then wonder why maintenance cannot jalan. The reason is because you and your neighbours sama attitude. In the end JMB good or not depends on the residents. When residents not participating or even worse not paying then definitely nothing will jalan. The solution is also only from residents, but if all taichi to 'someone else' then everything fails.
*
as i said, residents also don't bother one. Because it is high-destiny condo with banyak orang kaya
.

First AGM only had 2 persons attended. haha

u see how?

Why you say 'residents don't bother' as if you are not resident? Say la 'we don't bother'. If want to just stay own house and not bother with JMB and related, go buy landed non-strata. Just pay your council tax, road and rubbish will be taken care of by local government. Condo life must deal with JMB one, no choice.

And orang kaya condo generally will have some people to bother, because either they smart enough to realise their condo no matter how nice it is will be worthless without good JMB or because they already pay so much maintenance fee they better make sure is properly managed. Or they wanna skim also got la. Its the affordable places that really struggle to get enough people together.

Nolah. Like I said, they don't bother, as long as they don't have issues to complaint.

I bother because I am paying and when I have issue to complaint, they don't settle or not even bother to reply email or messages to update the status of the issue. They never take initiative to update you, unless you ask them. When you ask them, they don't bother until few days.

If other residents bother, do you think why only 2 persons attended the AGM until it needed to held for 2nd time to approve resolutions? Because they did not have issues right now and they have nothing to bother until they face issues and to make complaints, they will know the reality.

Yes, that why I am considering to sell off, in view of this issue and to save the fees for others.
