TORT OF NEGLIGENCE – STRATA MANAGEMENT – HOLDING DEVELOPERS ACCOUNTABLE FOR DEFECTS – A WIN FOR CONDO OWNERS!

The decision in Badan Pengurusan Bersama Subang Parkhomes v Zen Estates Sdn Bhd (Fadhlullah & Associates Consulting Engineers Sdn Bhd) [2025] 7 MLJ 780 emphasizes developers’ clear duty of care toward condominium residents, reinforcing their responsibility to properly rectify defects. It highlights the essential role developers play in ensuring quality and compliance, protecting residents from bearing unnecessary financial burdens arising from poorly completed projects.

STRATA TITLE – MANAGEMENT – TRESPASS AND NUISANCE

My neighbour rented out his condominium unit to university students. The amount of people that would usually live in such a space doubled. The noise level was unbearable. We made complaints to the management corporation but nothing was done. What can I do?

STRATA TITLE AND ADMINISTRATIVE FEE

I am in the midst of getting the strata title transferred into my name. However, the developer is charging me administrative charges of RM250.00 per month. Can they do that?
