Does the preparatory group have the right to answer questions raised by the owners' committee?

No. The purpose of setting up the owners' committee in the community is to manage and maintain the public affairs and property of the community and protect the rights and interests of the owners. Before the establishment of the owners' committee, the property management company can assist the owners in the preparatory work, including providing relevant information, assisting the owners in convening the owners' meeting and assisting the election preparatory committee. However, the property management company has no right to interfere with the decision-making of the owners' committee or answer the questions of the owners' committee. The owners' committee is elected by the owners and exercises the responsibilities of managing and maintaining the community on behalf of the owners. Therefore, the owners' committee should make independent decisions, solicit the opinions and suggestions of the owners when necessary, and ensure that the management and maintenance of the community are widely supported and participated by the owners.
