What is the difference between property management and traditional housing management?

Compared with the traditional housing management in China, property management has five main differences:

First, the role of the government: under the traditional housing management system, the government (including streets, housing management offices, institutions, enterprises and institutions) directly participates in housing management; Property management is enterprise management, and government departments are not directly involved in property management.

Specific management, but through the formulation of administrative regulations to regulate property management activities, guide and supervise the operation of property management.

The second is the management form: in the past, it was the decentralized multi-head management of multiple property rights units and multiple management departments. Residents in the community have to deal with various departments, including streets, neighborhood committees, police stations, sanitation, greening, fire protection, water, electricity, gas and many other departments; Property management is a unified comprehensive management. As long as residents face a property management enterprise, they can solve the above-mentioned problems in life and overcome the disadvantages of being fragmented and shirking each other.

Third, management content: In the past, the management content was single, generally limited to simple house maintenance, with poor management effect and short property life, resulting in a waste of social wealth. Property management is the professional management and maintenance of the houses and supporting facilities within its jurisdiction, providing residents with all-round and multi-level services, which is conducive to giving full play to the overall functions and comprehensive interests of residential quarters and various houses and developing good community services.

4. Sources of funds: In the past, management was mainly based on administrative means, and funds came from low rents and state financial subsidies. Management service is provided free of charge and is a welfare management system; Property management is a kind of paid service, which is socialized, specialized, enterprise-oriented and managed, and has embarked on the road of supporting the industry and self-development. Community management has hematopoietic function, which not only reduces the pressure and burden of the government, but also provides a stable source of management funds.

Fifth, the role of residents: in the past, it was managed by government functional departments by administrative means. Because it is free management, residents can only passively accept it and have no choice; Property management is a management mode combining owner's self-management with professional management of property management enterprises. From the tenure system of the management unit to the owner's free choice to the employment system, the relationship between the owner and the property management unit has been straightened out. On behalf of the interests of all owners, the owners' committee can hire or dismiss property management enterprises, and has the right to review and supervise the annual plans and financial revenues and expenditures of property management enterprises, so as to truly exercise the rights and functions of owners.

The difference between traditional housing management and modern property management is the concrete manifestation of the difference between planned economy and market economy. Traditional housing management is a natural extension of the welfare housing distribution system and a product of evading the characteristics of housing commodities. The foundation of property management is to treat management and service as a commodity that can be exchanged at equal value. This commodity and marketability is the fundamental nature and the most important feature of property management.
