House is a palace for the owner. Similarly, flats or apartments that more and more popping up in Jakarta could replace the role of houses in this global era.
However, satisfaction with the comfort factor that can not be answered by an apartment facilities, such as house in general, can cause a negative impression of the occupants. That is one reason the family is still burdensome option on the home rather than another type of housing as a place for living.
This was conveyed one occupant Apartments Mediterranean Palace Residences, Hengki, when met Kompas.com at its factory located in Jakarta, Saturday (10/4/2010). According to the seventh floor of the apartment dwellers, has been associated with the management of financial problems do not have transparency between managers and residents.
“I felt there was no transparency to financial problems.” he said. According Hengki, maintenance costs, electricity, and water has been big enough without known whether or not the allotment in accordance with its nominal value.
For example the cost of electricity, residents of the apartments are subject to high costs and almost equivalent to the cost of manufacturing electricity consumption is calculated based on per kilowatt hour (kWh). In addition, residents have been subjected to treatment costs for each month, but still asked for more cost for maintenance of water pipes that should have been included in medical expenses each month.
“This financial problem is not transparent. We (the residents) once asked the manager, but did not get a good response so we thought, yes, well because we also need to stay here.” Hengki said.
Therefore, Hengki hope that the general meeting of residents associations which took place at its factory located in this can be a good way to make complaints and get a detailed explanation.
