What if the SP/Owner of the unit refuse to repair the leak under MCST (including common area by the Management)


Refusal to repair leaking under MCST (another solution)


Subsidiary Proprietor is to repair and pay the full cost of the leak under the law in United States, Singapore and Malaysia (check with your management if you are not sure of the local law in your country).  However, there will be SP who does not care to follow the law or intentionally dragging on the issues. No matter the problem, the best solution is to find the easier solution if there is one. 

Guideline:

·        Split the cost
·        You pay to repair it
·        If all else failed then take it and the SP to STB
·        If the leak is in the common area and it is the responsibility of the management to fix the leak. If the management refuses then please take it to the STB directly.


Additional Note:

Be open mind and willing to solve the problem with the help of the management.  The management is only the middlemen who facilitate and take the initiative.  

 SP must follow up and ensure that it is carrying through and the management cannot be of much help after the initial period.  The end of the day, you can always take it to STB if all else failed.

What is encroachment under MCST

Anything outside of your unit and not own by the owner is consider encroachment.  It doesn't matter what other neighbor is doing nearby.  Legally, owner is liable when things happened when it is outside and it is encroaching into the common area. Example:  Clothing, Shoes, Rack, Paper, Boxes & etc Fire safety is always a concern with the fire department. Management is responsible when things happen and when it is not properly managed. Management is to give proper warning before removing as courtesy to the residents.  However, once it is remove then it will be the lost of the owner.  There will be no claim available.
