中文:房屋及地方政府部于2026年10月29日在国会表示,分层管理机构在追讨管理费欠款时,不能完全阻止业主进入住宅单位,必须提供安全及合理的替代通行方式,例如通过保安管制进入。该部也在检讨《2013年分层管理法令》,以加强欠款追讨机制,同时保障业主基本通行权。

English: On 29 October 2026, the Housing and Local Government Ministry told Parliament that strata management bodies cannot completely prevent owners from entering their residential units when recovering maintenance-fee arrears. They must provide safe and reasonable alternative access, such as entry through security controls. The ministry is also reviewing the Strata Management Act 2013 to strengthen arrears recovery while protecting owners’ basic access rights.

实际意义 / Why it matters: 公寓及分层住宅业主面对管理费争议时,仍应先确认管理章程与欠款记录;管理机构的追讨方式也须符合现行法律。 / Owners in strata developments should check the by-laws and arrears records when disputes arise; management bodies must also ensure enforcement methods comply with the law.
