Is it legal for the property company to collect the decoration deposit when staying in the community?

It is reasonable and illegal for the property company to collect the decoration deposit. It is illegal because the state does not clearly stipulate that the decoration deposit should be collected; Reasonable, because this is the practice adopted by the property management company to protect the interests of most owners, because there is no better way to restrain the barbaric decoration of some owners and the infringement on the interests of other owners.

The reason why the owners pay the decoration deposit is mainly to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of other owners so that they will not be damaged. During the renovation, if the public facilities and equipment are damaged due to improper renovation by the owner, the renovation deposit paid by the owner can be detained for maintenance.

Secondly, the leakage of the house is caused by improper decoration of the landlord. When the decoration is accepted, the property management company has the responsibility to inform the owner to redo the waterproof layer, and the consequences arising therefrom shall be borne by the owner and his decoration company.

Furthermore, the landlord should ask the property company whether to use this money to repair the deposit, or return it after the landlord completes the waterproof layer acceptance, or as a penalty for the owner's violation of the decoration agreement signed with the property.

I hope my answer can help you!
