Article 2 These Measures shall apply to the deposit, use, management and supervision of special maintenance funds for commercial housing and after-sale public housing. The term "residential special maintenance funds" as mentioned in these Measures refers to the funds earmarked for the maintenance, renewal and transformation of residential parts and facilities after the expiration of the warranty period.
