Feliz En Vista (Feliz Apartment) is a high-end apartment complex of Capita Land in the wardThanh My Loi, right next to Thu Duc City People’s Committee, City. Ho Chi Minh. Feliz en Vista apartment residents are living in a suffocating situation due to disagreements with the Board of Directors in choosing a management and operation unit.What’s going on at Feliz En Vista apartment building?

The management board of Feliz En Vista apartment complex decided on its own not to follow the wishes of the residents

According to the urgent appeal for help from the residentsFeliz En Vista apartment building, in recent days, residents here have “raised up” to protest that the Board of Management (BQT) intentionally ignored the selection of the current operating management unit, Savills, to choose the 2nd ranked unit, Visaho. Previously, at the Annual Apartment Conference combined with strengthening the Management Board organized by Thanh My Loi Ward People’s Committee and Feliz Management Board on October 13, 2024, Savills was the management and operation unit voted by the majority of residents (accounting for 53.5%). Meanwhile, Visaho is only the 2nd ranked unit (out of 4 participating units selected for the next round) with only 29.8%.

The reason given by the Board of Management is that it could not negotiate a contract with the first unit, Savills, which includes a number of typical prerequisites: Savills must transfer the Operating Fund to the Board of Management directly under the name and management, and must commit to a time to refund the excess Corporate Income Tax (CIT) paid at Feliz (over 1.3 billion VND) to the Operation Management Fund account, and must commit to getting enough opinions from over 51% of owners. Owners/residents for major building contents need approval.

According to the official response from Savills, the holding and management of the Fund operated by the Board of Directors does not ensure legality according to Circular 05/2024/TT-BXD. Savills cited that the operating management unit has the right to collect and manage this funding. This has been stipulated in current legal documents, and at the same time, consultation from authorities is needed to ensure legality and transparency in fund management. At the same time, Savills will also issue an official dispatch to consult with Thanh My Loi Ward People’s Committee on this matter. In case the local government has a document confirming that the Management Board has the right to manage the Operation Fund and collect operation management service fees from residents, as well as the operation management unit is allowed to implement sanctions if residents do not pay fees to the operation management fund account managed by the Management Board, Savills will hand over the Operation Fund to the Management Board and follow the instructions.

Regarding the time commitment to refund the overpaid corporate income tax, Savills confirmed the expected time to complete the documents to recover the difference in corporate income tax in official dispatch No. 308/2024/Savills-PM, signed and stamped by Savills’ Board of Directors representative, Ms. Dang Anh Thu – Director of Finance and Administration, to ensure full legality. Accordingly, Savills affirmed its commitment to support the Board of Management in working with the tax authorities to carry out the necessary procedures to recover the difference in taxes paid to the project because of different instructions from the tax authorities during the application process, with expected completion before April 30, 2025.

Regarding the content of the Management Board’s opinion that Savills has not committed to making every effort to collect the opinions of at least 51% of residents for all major projects of the building, Savills responded in official dispatch No. 325/2024/Savills-PM that the company is committed to trying its best to collect the opinions of as many residents as possible within its capabilities and powers. However, getting opinions from at least 51% of residents is not easy based on the objective reality situation at Feliz as well as other apartment projects in general, because getting residents’ opinions depends greatly on the number of residents actually living in the building, as well as the level of interest and feedback of residents. Therefore, the Board of Management asking Savills to commit to this number is not consistent with reality. However, the above feedback from this operating company and a number of other contents were assessed by the Board of Management as not meeting the requirements, so the next company was selected, Visaho, which agreed with all the conditions set forth.

The board of directors is constantly opposed by residents

According to Feliz residents, when the current operations management contract is only measured in days (expiring on November 30, 2024), on November 25, Savills announced that it had received an official dispatch from the Management Board confirming the non-renewal of the contract to provide operations management services after its expiration, and at the same time requesting to complete the handover within 5 days. This once again created a wave of indignation from many residents who supported the implementation according to the majority vote at the recent Apartment Building Conference (HNNCC). Residents believe that preparing and handing over a project with 1,127 apartments within 5 working days is very risky, causing insecurity and order, affecting the safety and stability of daily life of thousands of residents living in the project.

It is known that the petition sent to the competent authorities denouncing the violations of the Feliz Management Board was gathered and sent by residents on November 25 and 26; At the same time, continue to call for expanding and canceling residents’ authorization for the Board of Management at HNNCC to not allow the Board of Management to carry out actions that show signs of violating the law. Specifically, the Board of Management unilaterally selected the operating unit without a majority vote of the residents, lacking transparency and showing signs of bid collusion when negotiating in parallel with both winning and losing bidders… According to Ms. T. – owner of an apartment in the Feliz apartment building, on the afternoon of November 27, a large number of residents gathered and made a document requesting to cancel the residents’ authorization for the Management Board, in order to not allow them to arbitrarily sign on behalf of the residents. contract with a new management and operating unit without the consent of residents.

The current worrying issue is that while residents request to maintain the current operating status, waiting for instructions from the State management agency, the Management Board continues to bring in a new management unit, Visaho, to proceed with the handover. According to residents, this is likely to lead to disputes and even unnecessary clashes with residents here when many residents still firmly refuse to change the management and operation unit chosen at HNNCC with over 53.5% of votes without the residents’ voting opinions being approved.

Recently, disputes between residents and the Board of Management in many forms are no longer strange in apartment projects across the country, typically the Board of Management abuses power, violates bidding regulations, and even misuses, loses, and embezzles maintenance and operation funds… With the scandal over the selection of the management and operation unit at the high-end Feliz en Vista apartment building, residents here are hoping that the authorities will soon intervene to pay. bringing peace to people’s lives at this project called “Happiness”.
