佳居锦囊：HDA法令下的购屋者权益保障
购屋者，在你付了头期、签下房屋买卖及房贷合约后，你可知道你应有的权益吗？ 只要你购买的是“住宅房产”，你就会受到1966年房屋发展（管制与执照）法令（HDA）保护，但也就是说，若你购买的是商业房产，你就不受此法令保障。 HDA下的保障一：隔绝误导性广告 发展商所刊登的广告，往往就是购屋者所接触的第一手资讯。 虽然一些购屋者擅长在网络或社交网站平台做功课，了解发展商所提供的资讯真伪，但依然有部分购屋者对广告资讯深信不疑，所以具误导成分的广告资讯，将影响他们的购屋决定。 因此，在HDA法令规范下，发展商必须确定广告资讯如实，同时也禁止提到以下具误导性的资讯： - 是否提供律师费； - 是否给予金钱回扣或是租金收益； - 相关发展项目提供的景观； - 相关发展项目与临近设施或热门景点的车程时间； HDA下的保障二：法定终止买卖合约 若发展商已超过半年没有继续建设工程，那购屋者该怎么办？ 在2012年HDA法令修订后，只要房产建筑管理人在书面证明，工程已停滞超过6个月，并且也已取得贷款银行的允许，购屋者便可向发展商提出终止买卖合约的要求。 接获终止买卖合约要求后，发展商必须在30天内，无利息偿还购屋者已付款项。违约发展商将被罚款最低RM5万，最高RM25万。 HDA下的保障三：分层地契 在Schedule H法令修订后，分层地契现已是房屋完工移交程序的一部分。发展商必须在房屋移交前，就先申请分层地契。 不过，这也意味着，购屋者在拿到房子的钥匙时，也须同时缴付分层地契的印花税。 Chris Tan为TheEdgeProperty.
