Strata developments carry a statutory framework governing common property, share units, maintenance charges, the management body and the handover from developer to owners.
Where documentation is weak, disputes follow over what is common property, how charges are apportioned, what the developer still owes, and whether the management body has authority to act.

Documentation and advisory for strata schemes — developer obligations and handover, share unit and charge apportionment, by-laws, management corporation constitution and authority, service and facilities contracts, and dispute handling.

Handover is where most strata disputes originate. What is documented at that point determines what owners can require of the developer afterwards.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Legal That Works?

We specifically help business owners and organisation leadership to navigate Malaysia’s legal terrain to achieve their commercial goal.
What if I’m not sure what legal service I need?
No problem. Most business owners aren’t legal experts! Just reach out. Our team will guide you to the right service or help you understand your options—without jargon or upselling.
What is the difference between a JMB and an MC?
They are different bodies operating at different stages of a scheme, with different powers. Which applies depends on where your scheme has reached.
Can maintenance charges be challenged?
Apportionment follows share units and there are procedures for disputes. We will advise on your position.
What does the developer still owe after handover?
That depends on the statutory obligations and what was documented at handover.
Who will be helping me?
