Management of a strata scheme development is always technically
daunting, especially for new developers, building managers,
managing agents and new strata owners in Joint Management Bodies
(JMB) and Management Corporations (MC). The Strata Management Act
2013 (SMA), Strata Management (Maintenance & Management)
Regulations 2015 and Strata Titles Act 1985 (STA) regulate the
management and maintenance of strata scheme developments. With the
help of the diagram above, this article aims to simplify the legal
provisions pertaining to the management timeline and hand over of
management between the developer, JMB and MC.
Developer's Management Period
- During the developer's management period, the developer
shall be responsible to maintain and manage the strata scheme
development and common property [Section 9 of the SMA].
