屋所不谈：储备金的诚信托管准则
居住在公寓房产八年以来的Hisham，有一天接获通知必须缴交储备金（Sinking fund），让他顿时感到一头雾水。 他所了解的是，每月缴交的物业费（maintenance fees）理应包括储备金，为何现在却被要求另外缴交，而且公寓的共用设施如泳池、健身房、保安系统，还有其他共用空间，维护状况也不理想，那每月缴交的物业费到底去了哪里？ 另外，也有买家向我们申诉，业主缴交的储备金竟然被联合管理机构（JMB）用作注销“现有债务”。还有一些业主表示，公寓的储备金“不翼而飞”，管理公司在未取得业主的同意下动用相关资金，同样让人不解。 简而言之，储备金为独立账户，由业主缴交，费率约为物业费的10%，这个强制性账户所收集的款项，将用作共用设施维修的资本开销。 这是因为共用设施的配备，在特定期间将老旧败坏，因此需要更换以及维修，以保持最佳状态。 但是，这些维修与配备更换费用，不可与日常维护所使用的物业费一概而谈。 举例来说，日常维护如同车子清洗与定期维护，使用的是物业费；而车子在抵达特定里数，必须更换零件与重新喷漆，则需要动用储备金。 遗憾的是，现有的法规不足，无法为业主提供透明化且具诚信的储备金管理规范。 虽然目前法规不足，但购屋者协会相信可通过次要法规（by-laws），订立透明化且具公信的管理准则。 与物业费账户类似，储备金账户为托管基金，账目同样需要年度审核，并且公告予业主。任何不当的储备金支出，将被视作违法，可送法办。 Datuk Chang Kim Loong是国家房屋买家协会（HBA）的荣誉总秘书。 HBA的联络方式： 电邮：info@hba.
