What if the decoration deposit is not refunded?

The method of not refunding the decoration deposit is as follows:

1. If the property does not refund the deposit after the renovation of the house, you can report it to the housing authority where you are located and legally defend your rights, provided that the owner does not violate the agreement during the renovation. The decoration deposit is to protect the decoration standard of the owners, and some owners will change the layout and load-bearing wall of the house without authorization. Paying a deposit can effectively avoid this situation;

2. The public security organ of the party concerned requests for help, conducts mediation and consultation, or brings a lawsuit to the court with evidence records such as renovation contract signed by both parties, requiring them to return the deposit as agreed in the contract.

Decoration of the house should pay attention to the following points:

1. If you have little decoration experience, you'd better find a local decoration company to design. If you think it's expensive, you can also find someone to design it yourself, and then invite the decoration team to save a lot of costs.

2, pay attention to waterproof, cement construction need waterproof, this link is very important, need to pay special attention to during construction, waterproof coating should be evenly coated, the thickness of the waterproof layer should be uniform, usually should be repeated for 2-3 times. Waterproof height also has clear requirements. For example, the height of the shower area is usually 180 cm, and the height of the wall is about 30 cm. After the waterproof project is completed, conduct a one-day sealing water test to ensure that the waterproof project is intact and has no leakage;

3. In the process of kitchen design and planning, the actual area is too large, which is easy to waste space. But if the area is too small, the space will shrink easily. The most suitable area is 10 square meter. Also make sure that the space has enough lighting and ventilation. For enough space, we can design a bar, so that you can eat directly in the kitchen when there are few people, which can improve the space utilization. If the kitchen space is not large, more storage functions need to be added to the design;

4. In the demolition and reconstruction work, any type of house decoration wall structure, especially the load-bearing wall, can not be demolished and rebuilt at will, and it is easy to destroy the stability of the house under the influence of the required force and design.

To sum up, if the deposit is not refundable, you can complain to the real estate management department and the consumer association. Both parties can negotiate first; If negotiation fails, you can complain to the relevant departments; If the complaint is still unresolved, the arbitration institution designated in the lease contract shall be the third party for arbitration; If they are still dissatisfied with the arbitration result, both parties may directly bring a lawsuit to the people's court with jurisdiction.
