Who will pay for the replacement of elevators in high-rise residential buildings after retirement?

Residential elevators should belong to all owners in property rights, and the maintenance and replacement costs of elevators should also be shared by property owners. Property can only be entrusted with maintenance management, and the maintenance fee can be appropriately extracted from the property fee. But once the elevator needs to be overhauled or replaced, it will ultimately be shared by the owners.

It is understood that the residential areas that need to replace elevators are basically buildings in the 1990 s. There is no "housing maintenance fund" in many residential quarters, and the cost of replacing elevators can only be shared by the owners. Some insiders pointed out that in order to solve the replacement cost of elevators after scrapping, it is suggested that relevant departments explore the establishment of a special fund for elevator operation in commercial housing transactions.
