What if the property does not refund the decoration deposit?

The problem that the property does not refund the decoration deposit can be solved according to the following steps:

1. Confirm the contract: First of all, you need to check the contract signed with the property company to see if there are relevant terms of the renovation deposit. If there is a clear stipulation in the contract, then the property management company must follow the contract.

2. Communication and negotiation: If the contract is not clearly stipulated, or the property management company violates the contract, you can try to communicate and negotiate with the property management company first to see if the problem can be solved. In the process of communication, keep calm and try to speak with facts and evidence.

3. Complaint and report: If communication and consultation fail, you can complain and report to the local property management department or the consumer rights protection department. In the process of complaint, you need to provide relevant evidence, such as contracts, photos, recordings, etc.

4. Legal channels: If none of the above methods can solve the problem, you can consider solving it through legal channels. You can consult a lawyer to see if you can ask the property company to refund the decoration deposit through prosecution.

5. Media exposure: If you think that the behavior of the property management company has seriously damaged the legitimate rights and interests, you can consider putting pressure on the property management company through media exposure.

Whether it is illegal for a property not to refund the decoration deposit depends on the specific laws, regulations and contract terms. In China, generally speaking, the property management company has the right to collect the decoration deposit, but it must be returned after the owner completes the decoration without damaging the public facilities. If the property company refuses to refund the deposit without justifiable reasons, then the owner can defend his rights according to law.

First of all, it is necessary to check whether the contract signed with the property company has provisions on the decoration deposit. If there is a clear stipulation in the contract, then the property management company must follow the contract.

Secondly, you can complain to the local consumer protection department or the real estate management department to help solve the problem. Finally, if the above methods can't solve the problem, you can consider protecting your rights and interests through legal channels, such as suing the property company.

To sum up: solving the problem of non-refundable decoration deposit requires enough patience and perseverance, as well as certain legal knowledge.
