Can residential property management be owner's autonomy?

Property management in residential areas can be autonomous by the owners. Owners' congress and owners' committee are the best embodiment of owners' autonomy. Although most residential areas are now managed by property companies, there are also owners of residential areas who set up industry committees to manage them through the owners themselves, which is protected by the Civil Code. The owners' committee will meet regularly to exchange views with the owners on some problems in property services.

What is the owners' committee?

1. The owners' committee refers to the executive body of the owners' congress, which is composed of representatives elected by the owners in the property management area. By implementing the decisions of the owners' congress, it represents the interests of the owners, reflects the wishes and requirements of the owners to all sectors of society, and supervises and assists the property service enterprises or other managers in fulfilling the property service contracts. Do not have independent legal personality.

2. For a long time, there have been some problems in the practice of property management in China, such as unclear legal status, unclear responsibilities and irregular operation. As a result, property management companies are in a strong position in the legal relationship of property management, which often damages the legitimate interests of owners. This situation has become an important factor hindering the development of China's property management to a higher level.

3. How to get the owners' committee out of this legal dilemma and give full play to its due role in owners' autonomy has become a subject that we must face and solve.

Sources of funds for owners' committees

1. May vary from place to place. The allowances of the chairman, deputy directors and members of the owners' committee and the wages of full-time staff shall be decided by the owners' congress. But one thing is certain, the office expenses of the owners' committee need to be publicized.

2. With regard to the working funds of the owners' congress and the owners' committee, the owners' congress is the decision-making body, and the owners' committee is its executive body to implement the decisions of the owners' congress. The working expenses of the owners' congress and the owners' committee usually include the expenses of purchasing basic office equipment, copying and making documents and publicity materials, and the basic work subsidies of the clerks and members of the industry committee.

3. According to Article 35 of the Regulations of the Ministry of Construction on Owners' Congress, the working funds of the owners' congress and the owners' committee shall be borne by all owners: the raising, management and use of funds shall be specified in the rules of procedure of the owners' congress.
