ONE of the perennial problems in stratified properties is non-payment of maintenance fee by unit owners. The Housing and Strata Management Tribunal (TPPS) was set up under the Strata Management Act 2013 (Act 757) to address this and similar cases involving commercial and residential buildings. TPPS helps aggrieved parties seek redress for unpaid maintenance fees besides other matters that crop up among tenants, owners and management bodies. When such cases are brought to the tribunal, it can make an order for unit owners to pay up. Danau Kota Flats Management Corporation (MC) chairman CK Lim said they had turned to the tribunal several years ago to compel a property owner to pay up.
