Petaling Jaya apartment complex guide: strata and consumer resources
If you own or manage a unit in a Petaling Jaya apartment or condo, disputes over maintenance fees, by-laws or service providers usually go through a specific government body rather than the courts. Below is a short list of the real tribunals, ministries and councils that actually handle these matters, drawn from official sources, so you know where to turn before filing a complaint.
