Can't even afford to pay for monthly maintenance charges of their condo and yet can afford to buy a condo? Sounds like no logic le. 😅

True that they only report good news, reporting how high salary people are earning, but i doubts it reflect the majority lo.

My understanding is even you never pay maintenance fees, the MCST also can’t do anything to you. 

Until you sell the unit then they can do something I think.

We also got invaded by Japan and many killed at Changi beach

but none of us care if their PM goes and pray in don't know what shrine.

It doesn't stop me going to Japan or hating any Japanese person because of what their grandfather was ordered to do.

Really ah. So stay in condo better than HDB, cause if no pay HDB Service & Conservancy Charges, town council will run after you.

4800 is low income at 36? Looks like it is true that many people are earning 5 figure salary. 😅

Bro...there is a saying here

1) 10k is the new poor

2) Don't change tyre, change the car.

You should know these two by now.....😄

Generated by AI: In 2023, the average salary in Singapore was about 8,450 SGD (6,324 USD) per month. 

Although the real median income fell by 2.3% in 2023, despite the nominal income increasing by 2.5%. This is due to high inflation, which has outpaced nominal wage growth.

Yes MCST can take action to auction the unit ….. also by then the  defaulter will also have arrears with Bank too ….. have seen one unit been forced sold ….. quite many years back …. But it takes a few years before final action is taken ….. I forgot how the priorities of debt distribution kicks in

Can don't pay. But the MCST is entitled to make life very difficult for delinquent cases:

1. Withhold entitlements like car-park use of facilities including use of the lift (for those private lift condo)

2. Charge 24% annual interest on outstanding amount, and compounded

3. Then when the SP sells unit, the MCST takes all the compounded arrears back

4. In interim, MCST will put a lien on the unit so that cannot be sold unless MCST agrees.

MCST quite lenient if only delinquent for 1-2 quarters as long as interest is paid or even partial payment

Not sure if part 1) can be exercised easily ……. As far as I can remember the delinquent owner was still parking his car for a couple of years and then vanished and about a few months later unit was auctioned or something like that ….. anyways this was like 15 years back or so ….. dunno if it’s been tweaked

Hard to implement for big mass market condos. For a medium condo like mine with long serving guards who knows every resident and car by name/face, it was implemented. There was peer pressure too from the other residents in same stack arising from behavioral problems of the owner, that the culprit sold, paid the arrears and moved out.
