Housing maintenance fund ratio

When buying a house, in addition to the house price, you need to consider the future maintenance costs. In order to avoid disputes over maintenance costs, many communities will set up housing maintenance funds. Then, what is the proportion of the housing maintenance fund?

According to the property management regulations, the proportion of housing maintenance fund shall not be less than 5% of the annual property service fee of this property. That is to say, if the annual property service fee of this community is 10000 yuan, then every owner has to pay the 500 yuan Housing Maintenance Fund every year.

Use of funds

The use of housing maintenance funds mainly includes the following aspects:

1. Maintenance and update of community public facilities, such as elevators, corridor lighting, water and electricity, etc.

2. Maintenance and update of public places in the community, such as public toilets, gardens and gyms.

3. Maintain and update community safety facilities, such as access control system and monitoring system.

4. Maintenance and cleaning of community environmental sanitation, such as garbage removal and road cleaning.

5. Other necessary repairs and updates, such as waterproofing, water leakage, exterior wall coating, etc.

payment types/methods

There are generally two ways to pay the housing maintenance fund: one is to pay annually, and the other is to pay monthly.

The annual payment method is to directly add the housing maintenance fund to the annual property service fee, and the owner pays it in one lump sum. The monthly payment method is to evenly allocate the housing maintenance fund to the monthly property service fee, and the owner pays it monthly.

Regardless of the payment method, the owner must pay the fee on time, otherwise the late payment fee may be recovered.

How to query the payment status?

Owners can inquire about the payment of their own housing maintenance funds in the following ways:

1. Consult the property management company, which will check the payment according to the owner's name or house number.

2. Inquire through the property management system. Some property companies will open a property management system, and owners can inquire about their own payment through the system.

3. Check the property service fee list, which will specify the payment of each owner.
