Should the owner bear the cost of property maintenance and public facilities?

Maintenance costs are paid from the owner's special maintenance fund account.

China's measures for the management of special maintenance funds stipulate that if the public equipment and facilities beyond the warranty period are damaged, the property company shall apply to the owners' committee for the use of special maintenance funds, and the property company will agree to repair them.

Property management companies shall not directly charge maintenance fees to the owners, and special maintenance funds shall be used for the maintenance, renewal and transformation of public facilities in residential areas.
