Document background
A Notice of Abatement Lien is a crucial legal instrument in Malaysian property law used when a property owner fails to address hazardous conditions or nuisances on their property, necessitating intervention by local authorities or authorized parties. This document becomes necessary when costs are incurred in abating such nuisances, and the responsible party has not reimbursed these expenses. The notice must comply with Malaysian local government regulations and property laws, particularly the Local Government Act 1976 and relevant municipal by-laws. It typically includes detailed information about the property, the nature of the nuisance, abatement actions taken, and associated costs. The document serves as both a formal notice and a legal claim, ensuring that the costs can be recovered either through direct payment or through property liens.
