      JMB stands for Joint Management Body. Who comprises of JMB? Actually JMB members are all legal purchasers or owners of a unit in the whole condominium. When someone sue JMB, in actual sense, its all legal purchasers or owners are being sue. JMC stands for Joint Management Body Committee. JMC are a small group of representatives selected from among the JMB members. JMB’s duty is on common facilities. The problem in and within a unit comes under the responsibility of each unit owner. So, don’t sue the JMB because of your own personal unit problem.

      No. You only can go for Letter of Demand to the above unit which is perfectly unrelated to this JMB lah fren!

  2. My suggestion if the JMB have a Building Manager get him to inform the owner of the above unit. The pipe burst in the upper unit donot fall under the common property. If the owner have a House Owner policy he should be able to claim.

    The other suggestion contact the upper unit owner directly.

    1. Can Developer waive service charge, quit rent and utilities

    2. Can JMB permit owners to pay lesser service charge and quit rent? Can issue credit notes to owners

    Hi…sir/madam,

    I would like to ask should I pay the maintenance fees without a proper bill (no serial number and registration number). I only get a shop purchased official receipts with a stamp chop upon payment. Please advise me. Thank you.

    Dear Sir.

    please reply legally i have problem with jmb not giving consent for installation of base trancivers station (BTS) for ytl communication sdn bhd. These are the questions i want raise.

    I am the owner of the top floor of the 4 storey commercial building and not residential in nature.
    YTL is a licenced telecommunication co to install BTS with the relevant approval from DBKL.
    The property was sold separately floor by floor to 4 different owners.
    Do i have to get the consent of all the owners to install the BTS.
    Can JMB unreasonabbly reject my proposal to the installation of BTS.
    In the event if JMB and the owners of the other floor reject my proposal can i legally sue them and claim lost of income.
    What is the consequence if i go ahead to install the BTS without the approval of the above persons.

    please as soon as possible.

    Does it legally right to impose late charge on maintenance fees?

  10. Dear Sirs,

    Firstly, I’m not a parcel owner but merely a tenant. The apartment building which I’m currently renting has a swimming pool, gym room and sauna for both men & women (seperately) It consists of 88 units and JMB has been formed.

    I’ve been renting in this apartment block for the past five years. Initially, prior to the formation of the JMB, most of the tenants are allowed to utilize the facilities on daily basis.However, since last year, the JMB committee decided to ‘close down’ both the Gym and Sauna citing that it consume too much electricity.(since the management owed TNB substantiall amount)

    My question is: Can the JMB decide on such matters. How many in the quorum (JMB committee) is required to approve such decisions? Do you need to call for meeting prior to approve such decisions?

    The committee was legally formed about 1 1/2 years ago. But so far no AGM was called for re-election of committee members.

    Currently, I believe, the committee comprises of 12 members and all decisions regarding to overall mantainance are being decided by only a few members. Is this legal or otherwise?

    The committee had also stated that ONLY owners are allowed to use the facilities such as the Gym, Sauna room.

    My Second question is: Are we, as tenants allowed to utilise the facilities since it is under common area of the building?

    Can we deem such actions by the current JMB committee as illegal? to decide on matters without a proper quorum and meeting agendas?

    Shall we refer this matter to the local COB for actions or assistance to resolve this issue for better understanding of all TENANTS.

    Hope to receive your reply ASAP.

    Thank you.

    Dear..
    I live in Hamna, Sg. Dua, P Pinang.
    As the duties of JMB is to ensure house rules, the JMB has placed a sign regarding to parking space.
    It seems that the rule is NOT obeyed by some tenants.
    I have seen my car parked full of hurdles (motorcycle, waste bin, etc) to avoid others from using the place.
    I seem to agree that if someone to put his/her hurdle only for 1 – 2 hours. But if he/she places it for a whole day (at noon), he/she wastes the space. Some guess may come at noon for a while, but does find any parking place.

    Thus, I and some tenants urge JMB to ensure the house rules to be obeyed.

    Thanks

    Hi, we are facing problems here with the condo management and the JMB seems to be not doing anything to help the residents. The management does not seem to be doing anything to resolve various issues highlighted by the residents from having a new paint job for the condo, to the repairs of the pool to the lift maintenance, etc. They have even proceeded to make repairs to the boom gate without notifying the residents on the cost of repairs. What can we do to demand for an explanation from the JMB and Management?

    Hi..I’m seeking for advice as to how can I resolve an issue regarding JMB formation by a group of manipulative individuals at my condo in KL? Doubts has arise as to how can a JMB be formed without a licensed Management company? Which has been acknowledged by Registrar Of Society & DBKL? May I know whom will be the one responsible to do the assessment of JMB being managed in a rightful manner on all cases throughout Malaysia? Reason being that in my condo all maintenance monies due are directly paid to Management company a/c opposed to BMF (Building Management Fund)! Sinking fund fees are forcefully being collected despite rejection from purchasers, water charges on the rise despite poor quality, insurance premium on the rise, house rules not in order and many other issues. We would appreciate if you could help advice as to whom can we lodge report over these matters? TQ
