Strata Management Act ('SMA')

Messrs Lui & Bhullar's Vision 

The Strata Management Act 2013 governs the management and maintenance of strata properties in Malaysia.

 

This Act outlines the roles and responsibilities of the Joint Management Body (JMB), Management Corporation (MC), developers, and parcel owners. It also addresses issues related to maintenance fee disputes, sinking fund disputes, and common facilities.

​

Our team of experienced lawyers is well-versed in SMA 2013 and provides tailored solutions to help clients navigate legal obligations.
