The JMB or MC is statutory bodies under ACT 663 that are formed to take over management and maintenance the subdivided building and common property in the strata development such as Condominium or Apartment and now include Gated & Guarded strata landed property. Simply, the JMB is formed if the JMC is not formed yet. After that, the JMC is formed only after the developer of the land on which the strata development stands, successfully applies for subdivision of the building and the land office issues the strata titles for the respective parcels in the building.

Note: The JMB and the JMC are the terms used in Malaysia, other countries might adopt other terms such as Homeowner Association (HOA) or Residents Association (RA)
