Why do new residential areas need to collect decoration deposit from the owners? Isn't it stipulated not to accept?

The new regulations stipulate the decoration deposit. Before renovation, the owner shall sign a renovation management agreement with the property service company. The property management company can charge the owner a decoration deposit of no more than 1 0,000 yuan. After the renovation, the owner shall promptly notify the property service company for inspection. The property company should check it within 3 days and make a reply whether it is illegal or not within 7 days. If the owner does not violate the rules, the property company should refund the decoration deposit in full. At present, there are 22 property companies in our city, and the relevant departments will strengthen the supervision of property companies and strictly require them to implement service standards in accordance with the new regulations.

The purpose of the decoration deposit is to prevent the illegal operation of the decoration construction team from harming the interests of others or the public, and to provide effective protection for the injured party. The purpose is to supervise and standardize the decoration behavior and compensate the interests of the injured party.

1, legal basis of decoration deposit]. Usually, if the owner wants to decorate, he must pay a certain decoration deposit and decoration management fee to the property company in the community. However, the law does not clearly stipulate how much these fees should be paid. However, there are also local regulations that clearly stipulate that the decoration deposit shall not be charged.

2. Agreement on decoration deposit. Since the law does not clearly stipulate the standards for the payment of the decoration deposit, when the owner signs the decoration management service agreement with the property management company, it should clearly stipulate the payment method, use method and deduction method of the fee content to avoid future disputes.

3. Who will bear the decoration deposit? The decoration deposit is generally borne by the owner. Of course, from a fair point of view, according to the principle that whoever benefits is responsible, both the owner and the decoration company should bear it.

4. Deduct the decoration deposit. If the owner and the property management company have signed a contract clause on the deduction method of the decoration deposit, in theory, the deduction should be made in the way stipulated in the clause. When the property management company does have evidence to prove that the owner has violated the rules, it has the right to confiscate part or all of the decoration deposit.

The "decoration deposit ban" has been implemented for more than a year, and the property company still collects the decoration deposit when handing over the house. First of all, the newly revised "Implementation Measures for the Management of Property Service Charges in Hebei Province" was officially implemented from last September 1.
