💬 Practical reading
💬 This is a general reading/opinion for orientation — not the official legal text nor legal advice.
If you live in a residential compound, the management company is responsible for security, cleaning and maintenance for disclosed fees. If service is poor or fees unclear, owners can form a committee and hold it to account. The company may not cut your power or water as pressure. General orientation, not legal advice.
