Maintenance fees represent a significant ongoing cost for Malaysian property investors, typically ranging from RM 300 to over RM 3,000 monthly depending on location, facilities, and unit size. Understanding how these fees are calculated—whether through cost per square foot methods, share unit allocation systems, or annual budget approaches—is essential for accurate investment analysis and ROI projections.

The Defect Liability Period (DLP) is your most powerful legal protection when purchasing new property in Malaysia. This mandatory warranty period, enshrined in the Housing Development Act, gives you 12-24 months to report construction defects and demand free repairs from your developer.

However, thousands of Malaysian homebuyers forfeit their rights annually by missing critical deadlines, inadequate documentation, or improper claim procedures. Understanding the two-tier system—24 months for structural defects, 12 months for non-structural issues—and following the correct notification process within 30 days of discovery is essential.

This comprehensive guide walks you through identifying covered defects, filing claims with proper documentation, developer obligations, escalation procedures when developers don’t respond, and real case studies showing successful enforcement of your DLP rights.
