Does the owner need to hand over the maintenance fund documents to the property?

Maintenance funds shall be kept by the owner.

The original provision: the property maintenance fund shall be paid to the special maintenance fund account designated by the competent department.

New regulations: before the establishment of the owners' meeting, the special maintenance funds for houses will be entrusted by the construction (real estate) department of the local government; After the establishment of the owners' congress, the owners may apply to the relevant departments. By convening the owners' meeting, the owners' meeting authorizes the owners' committee to be responsible for the daily management of special maintenance funds with the consent of the owners whose exclusive parts account for more than 2/3 of the total construction area and more than 2/3 of the total number. The owners' congress may entrust a local commercial bank as a special account management bank to open a special account for residential maintenance funds. Under the premise of ensuring the normal use of maintenance funds, special maintenance funds can be used to purchase government bonds in accordance with relevant state regulations.

Impact: This is the first time that the Ministry of Construction and the Ministry of Finance have made it clear that the owners' congress can open a special account for special maintenance funds in commercial banks. In this way, whether before or after the establishment of the owners' meeting, the maintenance funds are the responsibility of the bank, and the funds are earmarked. No matter how the owners' committee and the property management company change, the maintenance funds will not change, which improves the security of maintenance funds.

How to use it is up to the owner.

The original regulation: maintenance funds must be approved by the owners' assembly or the owners' committee authorized by the owners' assembly before they can be used to maintain houses.

New regulations: property service enterprises put forward suggestions for use according to maintenance, renewal and transformation projects; If there is no property service enterprise, the relevant owners will put forward suggestions for use; Proprietary parts account for more than two-thirds of the total construction area and account for more than two-thirds of the total number of people in the use of residential special maintenance funds.

Impact: The new regulations simplify the procedures for the use of maintenance funds, which can well solve the problem of difficult extraction and use of housing maintenance funds that currently plague many communities. The corridor light of a building in a residential area is broken. If there are 30 households in this unit building, as long as 20 of them agree, they can collect maintenance funds.

Four expenses shall not be included in the special maintenance funds.

According to the Measures for the Administration of Residential Special Maintenance Funds, the following four expenses shall not be charged from the residential special maintenance funds in the future:

First, the maintenance, renovation and renovation costs of residential parts, facilities and equipment that should be borne by the construction unit or the construction unit according to law;
