Over the past few months enforcement activities have taken place with some positive results. The JMB have appointed a lawyer to deal with the owners who have ignored the demands or simply refused to pay.
These stubborn and selfish residents have already received demands and court action will be initiated if they continue to ignore the demands.
The typical excuses for why people pay late seem to be:
- I am away and I do not know on the matter
- I am too busy and have no time to pay
- I did not receive any notices , hence you cannot blame me for not paying
- I forgot and if you see my payment record and I am always late for payment. Therefore you must know my style and should not take action on me why always target me and it is not fair
- I am an old man, why are you doing this to me
- I am broke so I cannot pay
- I have paid all the money to the previous management on the opening sum balance but I cannot prove it as I don't have the habit of keeping a receipt, so you must write off all the debt
- I am a tenant and you should go after my landlord I paid all my water bill promptly (but not the service charges) and you cannot throttled my water
- My unit is vacant with no tenant, you cannot penalised me
- I have money but I don't want to pay because I'm not happy with x
The management and their contractors are entitled to perform their duties without incurring abuse, threats, harassment or violence from residents and the JMC will support them seeking full police action for any breach of this.
Any disputes should be solved amicably as civilised adults and not with violence or threats.
All residents are reminded to check their statements and report any payments that may have been missed to the management office without delay.
In addition please ensure that you have provided your correct mailing address to the management office to ensure that the bills are sent to the correct location.
