Apartment owners will be hit with the maximum possible tariff increase because Syabas only reads the master meter for the property, which calculates the water use of all units in the apartments.
I BECAME the owner of a strata property three years ago. I used to simply pay my maintenance bills, water bills and sinking funds while enjoying all the communal facilities provided.
Things got a bit ugly when I suddenly realised that the communal facilities such as swimming pool were no longer accessible for months on end, the playground was in a terrible condition and the guards were not patrolling the grounds or at their post.
