Condo maintenance fees are charged per square foot per month, and they cover security, cleaning, facilities upkeep and management, plus a sinking fund for major repairs. A lower psf rate on an efficient unit keeps your monthly cost down. Aurora Residences, for example, is around RM0.32 psf — modest for a facilities-rich development.
How the fee is calculated
Maintenance is billed as a rate per square foot, per month, multiplied by your unit’s size. So two things drive your bill: the psf rate the development sets, and how big your unit is. A compact, efficient layout at a sensible psf rate is the friendliest combination for monthly budgeting.
What the fee pays for
- Security, cleaning and common-area maintenance.
- Facilities upkeep (pool, gym, lifts, landscaping).
- Management and administration.
- A sinking fund — a reserve for major future repairs (repainting, lift overhauls).
💡 Aurora Residences is around RM0.32 psf — on a compact unit, that keeps the monthly maintenance very manageable.
How to budget
Estimate: unit size (sq ft) × psf rate = monthly maintenance. Add it to your loan instalment and utilities for a true monthly figure. Ask us for the exact psf rate and a full monthly-cost estimate on your chosen unit before you commit.
