New Strata Management Act

The Building and Common Property Maintenance and Management Act 2007 will be replaced with the Strata Management act, in 2012.

The new act seeks to improve the management and maintenance of strata buildings involving a large portion of the residents as members of the Joint Management Body, instead of the developer.

The Strata Management Act also attempts to resolve problems such as the non-payment of management fees by owners and not taking repair and maintenance as a priority.

The new act will also enable the strata titles to be issued at the same time as the signing of the sales and purchase documents.

With the impending issuance of strata titles, owners should know a bit about the formation of a Management Corporation for eTiara as the next step. This reference will help you to understand what has to be done.

Warning to all residents

While we endeavor to ensure security in eTiara, we can only do so much. We can prevent burglaries if you, as residents, take the following precautions:

(a) Put a good padlock on your front door grill. It should be one that has a hardened shackle and is Allen key proof.
(b) Keep all doors and windows securely locked before you sleep, if you oversleep in the morning and each time all of you leave your unit.
(c) Change the padlocks especially if your unit has been rented out before.
(d) If your apartment mates have different work/lecture schedules than you, make sure that each person securely locks the apartment before leaving.
(e) Keep your valuables (such as wallets, laptops and mobile phones) in a secure place each time you retire.
(f) Be wary of residents staying on the same floor as you who act suspiciously as many of the thefts had been committed by people staying on the same floor as the victims.

Small steps you take to prevent theft can reduce the chances of your apartment being burglarized.
