Maintenance fund payment standard

1. The buyer shall pay the maintenance fund to the seller at the rate of 2%-5.2% of the purchase price. The maintenance fund collected by the selling unit belongs to all owners and is not included in the residential sales income. The collection ratio of maintenance funds shall be determined by the real estate administrative departments of the people's governments of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government.

2. According to the provisions of the Civil Code and the Measures for the Administration of Residential Special Maintenance Funds, the residential special maintenance funds shall be paid by all owners and owned by all owners. Under normal circumstances, the maintenance funds are established under the unified supervision of the real estate management department where the property is located, and the property management company or management unit applies for withdrawal. After the establishment of the owners' committee, more than two thirds of the owners' households and construction area agree to hand over the maintenance funds to the industry committee, which will exercise the management right.

3. The maintenance fund is set up to deal with the possible housing maintenance problems and avoid the inability to maintain the housing after quality problems. How much the housing maintenance fund pays is directly related to the size of the house and the local consumption level. Under normal circumstances, the housing maintenance fund should be managed by a unified account set up by government departments, and legally applied for use when necessary.

In our daily life, at present, we need to pay maintenance fund to buy a house, but this does not belong to the purchase price stipulated by our national law, because the maintenance fund is essentially owned by all owners' companies. In the future, if there are related matters such as house repair, it is necessary to use the maintenance fund to deal with them.
