I spoke to my lawyer and he mentioned that the dveloper reserves the right to change the utilities.
Shock # 1: When they sold me the unit in May 2006, they said that heat, hydro, water was included in the monthly maintenance fee. When I went for my closing yesterday, I got a shock when they said that hydro is not included in the maintenance and I have to pay it separately. Then when I asked them if the maintenance fee would be reduced as I will paying for hydro, they said that the maintenance fee would be the same. I was told that this decision was made some time ago, but I was not notified about this either through a letter or an email. In my opinion this is equivalent to cheating. I was wondering if any of you have gone through this. I am talking to my lewyer and he mentioned that if enough owners kicked up a fuss abt this Malibu might do something.
Who is the builder for Malibu? This tactic is very underhanded and unethical. All residents in this building should band together rather than let your builder walk all over you.
Agreed.Either way it is still overtly dishonest and misleading.
Mild Shock # 3: During my PDI, I also discovered that there was not smoke detector in the kitchen. They had installed one in the Foyer but not in the kitchen.
