It is common knowledge that a Management Corporation (\u201cMC\u201d) is in charge with maintenance and management of the common properties of a condominium or strata development.<\/p>\n

Q<\/strong>: Can a MC be compelled to supply natural gas (a service previously provided by the developer of the project)? Can a MC be compelled to make payments for license to supply natural gas?<\/p>\n

A:<\/strong> Section 59(2) of the Strata Management Act 2013 (\u201cSMA 2013\u201d) provides as follows:<\/p>\n

The powers of the MC:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. a) to collect the Charges from the proprietors in proportion to the share units or provisional share units of their respective parcels or provisional blocks;<\/li>\n
  2. b) to collect the contribution to the sinking fund from the proprietors of an amount equivalent to ten percent of the Charges;<\/li>\n
  3. c) to authorize expenditure for the carrying out of the maintenance and management of the subdivided buildings or lands and the common property;\u2026.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    It does not include supplying natural gas.<\/u><\/p>\n

    Q: <\/strong>Can the MC collect gas charges?<\/p>\n

    A:<\/strong> No. s.59(2) SMA 2013 only allows MC to collect maintenance charges and sinking funds. Not charges related to the supply of natural gas.<\/p>\n

    The powers of a MC cannot be expanded. If it is not expressly or impliedly permitted by the SMA 2013, it is considered prohibited.<\/p>\n

    Q: <\/strong>Can the MC take over and charge natural gas supply fee?<\/p>\n

    A:<\/strong> No. The MC lacks the power to take over the supply and management of the gas supply.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
