Is it legal to collect the decoration deposit from the property before renovation?

Legal analysis: the state has no clear regulations on this, but considering that some owners do not act according to the requirements when decorating, it will harm the interests of the community, and it is reasonable for the property management company to charge a certain decoration deposit.

Legal basis: Article 15 of the Measures for the Administration of Property Service Charges, the owner shall pay the property service fee or property service fund in full and on time according to the stipulations of the property service contract. If the owner fails to pay the service fee or property service fund within the time limit in violation of the property service contract, the owners' committee shall urge him to pay within a time limit; Overdue payment, property management companies can be recovered according to law.

If the owner and the user of the property agree that the user of the property shall pay the property service fee or the property service fund, the owner shall bear joint and several liability from the agreement.

When the property right is transferred, the owner or property user shall settle the property service fee or property service fund.
