Do I have to pay a deposit for the renovation?

House decoration should pay a deposit to the property. It is mainly the decoration deposit that the owner needs to pay to the property company before the decoration in order to prevent the violation of the house decoration. After the renovation, the property management company will return it in full without interest if there is no violation.

First, what the property can't handle can be solved by which department?

If the owners think that the property charges are unreasonable, they can report to the property company through the owners' committee, so that the property company can come up with a reasonable charging standard. If the property management company can't come up with a reasonable basis for charging, the owner has the right to refuse to pay. In line with the property fee standards and laws and regulations, the owners should pay in time. If the property fee is not paid for a long time, the property will sue the owners who have not paid the fee, and the result of the prosecution is to make up the property fee. Under normal circumstances, even if the property itself is not in place, in order to protect the property and prevent other communities from following suit, the law will tend to the property side. As for the place where the property is not in place, it is recommended that the owner leave time and evidence with his camera and mobile phone in case of emergency.

There are five channels to reflect the unreasonable charges of property companies:

(1) Complaining to the Price Bureau about the previous property charges must be approved by the Price Bureau, which has the right and obligation to supervise the property company to implement the charging regulations;

(two) to complain to the Housing Authority, which is the industry management department of the property company and has the obligation to deal with the violations of the property company;

(3) Complaining to consumers' associations;

(four) to bring a lawsuit to the court;

(five) the establishment of the owners' meeting, can be reflected to the owners' meeting.

Second, is it legal for the property company to collect the decoration deposit?

When the owner has decoration needs, the property company will generally require the decoration owner to go through the decoration filing procedures and charge a certain decoration deposit. For example, according to Article 14 of the Regulations of Shenzhen Municipality on the Decoration of Family Rooms (abolished on September 23, 2004), residents and decorators should pay 1 000 yuan decoration deposit to the property management unit respectively when applying for commencement registration. Paying the decoration deposit is a means to restrain the owner's decoration behavior. When the decoration company violates the rules, the property company will generally deduct a part of the deposit. Legally speaking, this is a punishment.

The property company is an enterprise engaged in property services, and decoration management is not the specialty and responsibility of the property, that is to say, the general property staff do not have the qualification and ability to determine whether a certain decoration behavior is compliant. Article 46 of the Regulations on Property Management clearly stipulates that property management enterprises should stop acts that violate laws and regulations such as public security, environmental protection, property decoration and use within the property management area, and report to the relevant administrative departments in a timely manner. Article 38 of the Measures for the Administration of Interior Decoration of Residential Buildings (revised edition of Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development 201.1.26) also clearly requires that if there are irregularities in interior decoration of residential buildings, the administrative department of urban real estate shall order them to make corrections and impose a fine.

Third, the collection standard of non-occupancy property fees.

When the owner does not move in, the property fee can be paid at the rate of 70%. After the owner's acceptance, vacant houses that are not qualified for occupancy due to insufficient decoration or vacant houses that have not been used for a long time for other reasons after occupancy (including house decoration) shall pay the property service fee at 70% of the charging standard agreed in the property service contract after the owner's acceptance or the owner's report to the property service enterprise.
