Is it legal for the property company to collect the decoration deposit?

Legal analysis: the state has no clear regulations on this, but considering that some owners do not act according to the requirements when decorating, it will harm the interests of the community. It is reasonable for the property management company to charge a certain decoration deposit, and it can remind the owners to decorate according to the regulations. As the deposit is refundable, there is no harm to the owner of the decoration as required. If the owner and the property management company agree in the property management contract that the owner should pay the decoration management fee, then the owner should pay the management fee according to the contract; If there is no such agreement between the two parties, then the property management company cannot charge the owner the decoration management fee.

Legal basis: Article 490 of the Civil Code of People's Republic of China (PRC). If the parties enter into a contract in the form of a contract, the contract shall be established when the parties sign, seal or press their fingerprints. Before signing, sealing or fingerprinting, one party has fulfilled its main obligations, and the contract is established when the other party accepts it.

A contract shall be concluded in written form as stipulated by laws, administrative regulations or agreed by the parties. If the parties do not do this in writing, but one party has fulfilled its main obligations and the other party accepts it, the contract is established.
