Overview:
Joint management bodies (JMBs) and management corporations (MCs) are empowered to impose and collect maintenance charges for the maintenance and management of common property. But disputes often arise, sometimes seriously impeding the development’s upkeep. From recovering arrears, dealing with different rates of charges, to disputes over expenditure, committee members can have many problems to deal with.
Join our upcoming talk, where our strata lawyers will walk you through the common issues faced by strata developments, such as the usage of maintenance charges and sinking fund contributions under the Strata Management Act 2013. Whether you’re a committee member, property manager, or strata owner, gain practical insights to help your community stay fair, stable, and well-managed.

- Calculation of Charges Must be Proportionate to Share Units
