Seeking justice is about pursuing fairness and accountability when wrongs are committed. It involves taking steps to ensure that those responsible for harmful actions, whether it’s breaking laws, violating rights, or causing harm, are held accountable for their actions.
Sign Up / RegisterIn Section 4 of Malaysia's Strata Titles Act 1985 (STA), a "share unit" refers to the specific number assigned to each individual parcel (unit) in a strata development, determining its owner's share of common property, maintenance charges, sinking fund contributions, and voting rights, calculated based on factors like parcel area and building features using a prescribed formula.
The amount of the Charges to be paid under subsections (1) and (2) shall be determined by the joint management body from time to time in proportion to the allocated share units of each parcel.
A Joint Management Body (JMB) is a temporary management body formed under Section 17 of the Strata Management Act 2013 (SMA). It is created to manage and maintain strata properties before the establishment of a Management Corporation (MC). The law ensures that there is always a governing entity responsible for maintaining the common property and handling financial matters even before strata titles are issued.
A Management Corporation (MC) is the permanent body that takes over the duties of the JMB once individual strata titles have been issued. It is formed under Section 39 of the Strata Management Act (SMA) and consists entirely of the property owners.
These cases sets a powerful precedent that reinforces the legal obligation of management bodies to treat all parcel owners equitably. Justice is duly served, owners and management bodies alike can ensure compliance with the law and uphold fair practices in strata property management.
