1 Year Free Maintenance Fee?

Little War — Thu, 14 Apr 2016 17:12:38 +0800

Dear Lowyat forum Sifu's

I have a question in regards to the free 1 year maintenance fee by developers.

Signed the offer letter with developer which states that we would get one year free maintenance upon VP.
Also signed the SPA which states that upon VP, we have to pay 4 months in advance of maintenance fee.

I would like to ask. In such a scenario, would the developer be paying for the 4 months maintenance fee for me? As they are currently requesting for it.

In my understanding, when it says free, it does not mean waived, it merely meant that developer will be paying on my behalf.

The scenario i was thinking of is,
VP - April
1 - 4 months - Paid by developer
5 - 12 months - Paid by developer
13 - 16 months - Paid by me.

The current situation that developer is suggesting is
VP - April
1 - 4 months - Paid by me (Contradicts the offer letter which says that 1 year free maintenance upon VP)
5 - 12 months - Paid by developer
13 - 16 months - Paid by developer

In both cases, it should not breach the SPA as someone is paying for the 4 months advance.

If my reasoning is incorrect, do correct me.I am also curious about the situation. Would like to get this right before i commit to any payment.

Thank You.

Whats the Standard BBQ Pit Rental in Condo?

Little War — Tue, 10 Mar 2015 16:51:45 +0800

Hi Forum Sifus,

Want to ask how much is the standard bbq pit rental for a condo in Klang Valley?

I recently moved into a service apt (MAIN PLACE USJ). And I pay the Maintenance fee regularly. I understand that there is a separate charge for BBQ pit and is not included in the maintenance fee.

But the price they gave me to rent the BBQ pit is sky high in my opinion. This is the amount they request for

BBQ Pit Rental = RM 300
BBQ Pit Deposit = RM 500
Total = RM 800

Items included (BBQ PIT ONLY and the area... NO TABLES, CHAIRS OR ANYTHING ELSE)

Is this the standard price nowadays? I was expecting it to be around RM100++...

If its too expensive, is there any regulatory body that we could go to other than the JMB? because i have no idea who the JMB is.
