Strata living has become increasingly popular due to urbanization, leading to the growth of high-rise residential properties. There are two categories of stratified residential development which are the vertical (high-rise) and horizontal (landed). This research aims to study regarding the management and upkeep of vertical and horizontal strata residences in Malaysia. The study uses qualitative research, analyzing the opinions of property management professionals. The findings reveal that homeowners in horizontal strata are responsible for maintaining their building’s façade, while those in vertical strata delegate these duties to the management company. Additionally, residents in horizontal strata pay higher service charge and are responsible for their own fire insurance.
