Can I get a real estate license without paying the property maintenance fund?

You can't apply for a real estate license without paying the housing maintenance fund. When handling the real estate license, a maintenance fund payment certificate must be issued.

According to the relevant provisions of the Measures for the Administration of Residential Special Maintenance Funds:

Article 12

Commercial housing owners should deposit the first phase of residential special maintenance funds into the special account for residential special maintenance funds before handling the house occupancy procedures.

The owner of the sold public housing shall deposit the first special maintenance fund of public housing into the special maintenance fund account of public housing or hand it over to the selling unit for deposit into the special maintenance fund account of public housing before going through the housing check-in formalities.

Units selling public housing houses shall deposit the extracted special maintenance funds for public housing houses into the special account of special maintenance funds for public housing houses within 30 days from the date of receiving the payment for selling houses.

Article 13

Failing to deposit the first residential special maintenance fund in accordance with the provisions of these measures, the development and construction unit or the public housing sale unit shall not deliver the house to the purchaser.
