Document background
The Joint Maintenance Agreement is a crucial document used in Hong Kong's property management landscape when multiple parties share responsibility for maintaining common areas, facilities, or shared infrastructure. This agreement type is particularly important in multi-owned buildings, commercial complexes, or mixed-use developments where maintenance responsibilities and costs need to be clearly defined and fairly distributed. The document typically becomes necessary when separate property owners or occupiers need to formalize their shared maintenance obligations, establish cost-sharing mechanisms, and ensure compliance with Hong Kong's building management regulations. The agreement addresses key aspects such as maintenance standards, contractor appointment, emergency procedures, and dispute resolution, while incorporating requirements from the Building Management Ordinance and related Hong Kong legislation.
