Summary
The fee must be paid even though the house is vacant, provided the management fee, including the security fee, is levied by the Joint Management Body (JMB) under the Building and Common Property (Maintenance and Management) Act 2007. The ruling also advises holding discussions with the parties concerned.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kami berpendapat yuran itu perlu dibayar jika yuran pengurusan termasuk yuran sekuriti ke atas rumah tersebut dikenakan oleh Badan Pengurusan Bersama (JMB) berdasarkan Akta Bangunan dan Harta Bersama (Penyelenggaraan dan Pengurusan) 2007.
