‘Over 90% of tribunal cases involve maintenance fee arrears’

THE problem of faulty lifts often stems from owners not paying their maintenance fees on time.

Housing and Local Government Ministry (KPKT) Housing and Strata Management Tribunal deputy chairman Mohammad Khalid Ab Karim said when this happened, the properties’ joint management body (JMB) would not be able to carry out repairs as well as maintenance and cleaning of facilities, including lifts.
