After moving here for the first two years I had a very peaceful time. Then came this new neighbour a few blocks away just moved in. There first year was no problem then the problem starts. He keeps complaining about the smell and everyone in his family fall sick. He came to my house in the middle of the night and knock on my window and I answered he started to scold me. After a few months he went to the malays (now already shifted out) and complain to them also with the same excuse that his family fall sick. Then he brought this up to the management every once and then and I get a call from the management asking me to do something about the smell. So I just ignore it and just do my cleaning even installed air wick auto dispenser to get rid of the smell.
Just recently the neighbour even get the comitee involve. I was called to the office to discuss. Now I was ordered that my cats be taken to someplace else or throw them away or they would call the MPPP. I tried to argue with them but the comitte said in the S&P is already stated that no cats and dogs are allowed but there are people in that building rearing cats even dogs. They said a police report is also made. Just for argue sake, do they have the rights to do that? To me is really unfair cause I got nowhere else to go. I don't have any other place to put them. If there is I wouldn't be staying here. Because i love my cats alot I had to find another place to stay while I going to sell off this apartment.

hi kmleong,
just to share a story of the same case of my aunt who is facing the same problem currently too.
my aunt lives in a condominium in ampang jaya, she, herself is an animal lover so she would feed any stray cats that passes by the back lorong of her house if she spots any. and so, this made quite a number of strays cats stayed over nights at the back lorong of her house. at the same time, she is having 2 cocker spaniel inside of the house.
things are just fine from the upkeep of her house and the back area, but then, there was one day when the condominium changed the management in-charge, the new management gave her a warning letter to evacuate the stray cats when they spotted there are a lot of cats wandering around her house. then, my aunt stopped feeding them and asked for my help to find the cats a good home. me and my friend helped out to re-home them one by one, and some fell sick cos of starving knowing they are too depending on my aunt to feed them daily. my aunt is not financially capable to send all of them to spca though is nearby to her place and this made my aunt cried for few nights because of her guilt to stop feeding the stray cats to ensure she gets no problem staying at the condo along with the management.
later that, few had died and few were adopted, but the management just don't seem to like my aunt no matter how she already done to not let the cats wander around, like what others have said, people will just find a mistake to blame on you, so the management later blame my aunt's two dogs are making the condo area a lot of foul smells and noise. but before the new management took place there were no complaints at all as the dogs are kept earlier than the cats exist there.
so the second and third warning letters was issued with mpaj's people came inspecting her house. she told the mpaj how she manage the dogs and ask for rayuan and they said they will give more time to evacuate the dogs only. my aunt later tried everything to ask mpaj's office again, and nothing she could do to stop the complaints issued by the management, so she ignored it as that time she is already mentally breaking down.
after 1 month, mpaj came visit again with a letter fining about (im not sure the exact amount) RM500-RM700. then my aunt went and ask for rayuan again, what mpaj did was reduce the amount of fine only, but the same action of evacuating the dogs had to be taken, but given a longer period of time. now my aunt had given up and planning to move out of that condo.
just a suggestion, if you think the management there is already not worth to be paid a single cent for your comfort living in your apartment, then find another one that can let you keep your pets comfortably (of course with a clean environment taking care of your pets), i know its not easy and it'll be quite troublesome, but you got my support! good luck kmleong!
